First time Largemouth bass trip ans great experience
Captain Steve looked after us on an exhilarating 4-hour trip, catching a 7 lb bass. All tuition and gear, and we caught plenty of Largemouth bass. The captain looked after everyone & made us all feel welcome. four of us, including our 16-year-old son, loved it and had no previous experience.
Operator response
Thanks for making Bass Online part of your first fishing adventure! 🎣 Landing a 7 lb bass on a four-hour trip is an incredible catch, especially with no previous experience. Captain Steve will be happy to hear your family felt welcome and well taken care of. Hope to see you all back for another great catch! 🐟

Fishing fun....
We had a wonderful morning fishing trip with Bass Online Charters. Captain Bill was fantastic, not to mention extremely patient with us amateurs! We couldn't believe the number of fish we caught; the captain clearly knew what he was doing and consistently positioned the boat in the right locations for us to catch loads of largemouth bass. One of the highlights of the trip was a new 7 lb. PB. I can't recommend this charter enough, and a fishing trip with Capt. Bill is an absolute must if visiting Orlando.

6 Hour great fishing
Fantastic morning out. No need to worry about anything; just take some suitable clothing and get on the boat. All tackle is provided, and captain Steve will sort out what to put on the end of your hook. No experience necessary, as the captain will help out and show you what to do. Thoroughly enjoyable and a relaxing morning.

Fishing day to remember.
Never having done lake fishing before, I took my 3 sons, and we all loved it. The fish did want to play for us. And the experience for a dad and his son was priceless. We caught 23 largemouth bass, guided by the captain, Mike. Recommend this trip for anyone for a great experience, especially for a dad and his lads. 👍👍
Operator response
Thank you for the fantastic review! Taking your three sons out for their first lake fishing adventure and landing 23 Largemouth Bass sounds like an incredible day on the water. Captain Mike will be happy to hear he helped make the trip such a memorable one. Those father-and-son moments are truly priceless, and we're honored to have been a small part of them. Thanks for the recommendation, and we hope to see you and your boys back for another great fishing adventure! 👍🎣

Amazing fishing Trip 🐟
WOW! What an amazing fishing trip we had with Mike, who is as knowledgeable and helpful a captain as he was on a previous trip we took. We were so lucky with such flat water and a fab sunset. The children so enjoyed it and are keen to go out again as soon as you get the chance. We would highly recommend a trip out on the Butler Chain of Lakes; you really won’t be disappointed.
Operator response
Thank you for coming back out with us! It’s great to hear Captain Mike delivered another memorable trip. Calm water, a beautiful sunset, and happy kids eager to go fishing again—that's hard to beat. 😊 We're thrilled your time on the Butler Chain of Lakes lived up to your previous experience. Thanks for the wonderful recommendation, and we can't wait to welcome your family back for another adventure on the water! 🎣

fantastic time with fishing family..
Great fishing trip in Orlando for our scout group. My son thoroughly enjoyed the entire experience and has not stopped talking about it since. The weather conditions were beautiful, and Captain Bill gave excellent instruction throughout the 6 hr trip. We caught several largemouth bass, and everyone onboard had a fantastic time learning and fishing together. Many thanks again for such a memorable day on the water.

great 6hr fishing trip..
I recently joined another 6-hour fishing trip on the Butler Chain, and once again it did not disappoint. Captain Wayne quickly got us to the right spots and made sure we were fishing efficiently while keeping everything safe and comfortable. As someone still learning, I appreciated his guidance and patience. It was a fun and affordable way to spend time outdoors, and I’m already looking forward to my next trip out here.
