Meeting point
The meeting location is at Lake Summit Boat Ramp on Lake Summit. You will have free parking and a place to use the restroom. If you have any questions, please contact your guide, which will be provided after booking your fishing charter.
Unlike fishing a single lake, the Winter Haven Chain offers the opportunity to explore multiple interconnected fisheries during one private charter, giving you access to a constantly changing variety of bass habitats and scenic waterways.
Your captain customizes the experience based on current fishing conditions, moving throughout the chain to maximize your chances of success while sharing local knowledge and proven techniques.
Beyond outstanding bass fishing, you'll enjoy peaceful Old Florida scenery, abundant wildlife, and a relaxing escape from the crowds.
Conveniently located between Orlando and Tampa, the Winter Haven Chain delivers one of Florida's most unique freshwater fishing experiences for anglers, families, and outdoor enthusiasts alike.

Another great fishing trip with Capt. Bill
This was our 3rd year out in the Winter Haven Chain in Aug., and once again we (2 dads and 3 kids) had a great time. It was an awesome day; we caught a lot of Largemouth bass guided by Capt. Bill. We also caught some big bass. I truly caught and released fish, just not on a trip; it's fresh in my mind. Thoroughly recommended.
Operator response
Three years in a row on the Winter Haven Chain says it all! 🎣 We’re glad Capt. Bill gave both dads and the kids another awesome day filled with plenty of largemouth bass and some big catches. Thanks for coming back to Bass Online year after year, and we hope to see your crew again next August! 😊

Superb Experience will Capt. Bill
I have been with Captain Bill and the Bass Online team a couple of times now with my son for big bass and 8 hr fishing trips. Bill is an excellent captain and provides a knowledgeable and entertaining time when you are on board. Both trips have resulted in lots of fun and lots of largemouth bass, and I will be booking with Bill again as soon as I can... Thanks...
Operator response
Thanks for coming back for more big bass adventures! 🎣 It means a lot to hear that Captain Bill has helped create such great memories with you and your son. Two successful trips filled with largemouth bass, fun, and great stories are what fishing is all about. We look forward to having you both back on the water again soon! 🐟

Everyone Enjoy The Day.
We have been on the Winter Haven Chain a few times now and will be back again for more. Bill the Captain never fails to make sure our trip is memorable. My husband, son, sister-in-law, and brother-in-law cannot recommend this fishing trip enough. From a 4-hour BASS trip to a 6-hour trip, it is a fantastic experience. Capt is so helpful with his wealth of experience. See you again soon. This is one of the highlights of our holiday.
Operator response

4-hour fishing trip
My family of five had a fantastic fishing trip today with captain Reno. We were complete novices to fishing but guided through each step. We even caught 16+ bass. I would recommend this trip to families wanting to try fishing.
Operator response
We’re so glad your family’s first fishing trip was such a success! 🎣 Captain Reno helped everyone feel comfortable and confident while learning the basics, and catching 16 plus bass made it an unforgettable day. It’s always great seeing new anglers enjoy time on the water. We appreciate the recommendation! 😊

Fishing with Daughters...
OMG...what an amazing time my daughter and I had. Capt. Bill was great. Friendly and very helpful with great knowledge of the water. Safe trip with lots of Largemouth bass caught. Furthermore, I caught a BIG one (6.5 lb). Cheers, guys.
Operator response
A 6.5-pound Largemouth Bass is definitely one to remember! 👏 We're so glad you and your daughter shared such a fun day on the water with Captain Bill. His knowledge, friendly attitude, and focus on making every trip safe and enjoyable are exactly what make these experiences so special. It sounds like the fish were cooperative, and that trophy catch was the perfect bonus. Thanks for spending the day with Bass Online—we truly appreciate it and hope to see you both back for another unforgettable trip!

Fabulous Fishing with Friends...
Eight of us went out fishing near Winter Haven for almost 6 hr and had an amazing time together. Captain Reno was excellent, very informative, and kept the atmosphere fun all day long. when we arrived, making everything simple and stress-free. We caught a lot of largemouth bass throughout the trip, and everyone in our group had a fantastic experience. I would definitely recommend this trip to anyone looking for a fun day fishing in Florida.
Operator response
Thank you for the wonderful review! It sounds like your group of eight had exactly the kind of fishing day we love to hear about. Captain Reno does a great job keeping things fun while making sure everyone feels comfortable and involved, and we're glad the nonstop Largemouth Bass action made the trip even better. 😊 We truly appreciate the recommendation and hope the next time you're in Florida, we can get your whole crew back out on the water again! 🎣

Perfect hit, Thanks Capt. Reno...
My family had such a great experience fishing in Winter Haven that after our first 4 hr trip, we immediately booked another longer trip. Captain Reno was fantastic during both outings and made everyone feel welcome and comfortable. Everything was organized perfectly, and we caught plenty of largemouth bass during our time on the lakes. We were treated so kindly throughout the whole experience, and it turned into one of the highlights of our vacation..
Operator response
Thank you for the fantastic review—it’s great to hear your family had such an amazing time that you came back for a second trip. Captain Reno does a wonderful job making everyone feel welcome while keeping things organized and fun. Sounds like you had plenty of action with largemouth bass as well. We truly appreciate your kind words and hope to have you all back again soon!

Awesome trip..Rebook soon.
Went out on the lakes with Bill on a summer trip. We headed out under clear skies to a great fishing area, and everyone started with high expectations. It did not take long before we were catching largemouth bass consistently. One angler focused on bigger fish and was rewarded with an impressive catch. Another guest landed a couple of really nice bass as well. It was a fantastic trip and a great way to finish my vacation. This is why I always book here, experience really makes a difference. Not every trip is like this, but that is fishing. Thanks again Bill, see you soon.
Operator response
> Thank you for the fantastic review—sounds like an incredible day on the lakes. Consistent action and a few standout catches always make for a memorable trip, especially under perfect conditions. We appreciate you recognizing that experience makes the difference, and Captain Bill will be glad to hear your kind words. Looking forward to having you back out again soon!
