Winter Haven Fishing Charters
When people think of fishing in Florida, their minds often wander to the Gulf of Mexico or the Everglades. Yet inland in Central Florida lies some of the best Bass fishing the state offers. Captain Bill and Team aim to share his passion for fishing in this beautiful destination, the Winter Haven Chain of Lakes. You have endless options to explore what Florida offers, and he would love to be your guide and show you around.
He'll show you around on a boat perfect for lake fishing. His Ranger bass boat that's powered by a Yamaha engine. It's small, lightweight, trustworthy, and the for the type of fishing you're going for, it ticks all of the boxes and even ticks the box of having an onboard ice box for your drinks.
Largemouth Bass will be your primary target fish. It's great fun to catch and it makes for a tasty meal afterward. If you're lucky, you'll also get to enjoy some Crappie alongside on your dinner plate.
Captain Bill shall provide you with Penn rods and Abu Garcia reels, a perfect light tackle for the spinning you'll get up to. He mainly fishes using lures, but live bait can be provided upon request. Water is provided so take something else if you prefer and some snacks. You'll need to book your Florida fishing license before you join him, which you can sort out online.
Captain Bill deeply loves this area, fishing and providing a great customer experience. In his own words: 'I strive to put you on quality fish all trip long and will work hard at showing you the best experience possible.'

In spite of the arctic like conditions, by Florida standards anyway, Captain Reno Alley managed to put us, my wife Judy and I, on the bite on a rainy cold blustery day with a cold front sitting right on top of us which is why we never got more than a few hundred yards from the Lake Summit boat ramp. Captain Alley was an amiable sort with a gift for gab and a notable passion for fishing and the outdoor life. We had a heckuva good time and did a lot of cracking up in between reeling them in, a total of 22 LMB's 1-5 lbs. Thank you Captain Reno.
Captain Bill was very knowledgeable getting us into bigger bass than we have ever caught before just 15 minutes into our trip. He was very nice to my 2 sons and I telling us stories and helping us to have tight lines all day. We ended the day with 30 bass and multiple of which were 4 pounders! I would recommend this above any other bass trip or inshore trip that I have been on! We will definitely be back! Thank you Captain Bill!
We went fishing here with captain bill last year and had a great time so we decided to book another and it didn’t disappoint. Captain Bill was very helpful and patient with us getting us into over 30 huge bass. We will be back back once again!
We started the fishing trip early morning with Bill. He already had the boat in the water when we arrived, meaning we could fish longer. When we arrived he put us right on the fish. Second cast, fish on! We move to another spot and same thing. Fishing was great. Bill knows where to fish. I can highly recommend him. Many thanks from Montana. Chris & Christa
Captain Bill Goudy Jr made our father/son fishing trip a fantastic success! With his knowledge of the local lakes and his expertise in catching all the native fish that Florida has to offer, he will make sure to provide the best fishing experience around. Worth every penny!

Cpt Bill Goudy jr took us out on a great trip, we caught alot of fish and had a great time!
Captain Bill put us on the fish first shot and provided exceptional service well beyond our expectations. We lost count but after consulting the pictures and clicker we will say 28 largemouth bass, what a day!! Thanks captain Bill!!
Here we are with three largemouth bass at once; what a moment and what a memory!! We were fishing Lake Winterset with Capt. Bill Goudy Jr. when we all got strikes and boated fish at the same time. The guided fishing trip began at 6:30 in the morning. We met Capt. Bill at the dock in the dark and minutes later we were watching bobbers being pulled across the surface of the water by very active baitfish. By late morning we had laughed and giggled, knotted lines and reels, and caught and released a bunch of big bass. It was a great fishing trip. We’ll do something like it again. Thanks Capt. Bill

Captain Reno filled in at the last minute due to a boat issue with another captain and did a great job. We found the fish quickly and he kept me on them all day. We caught tons of big bass and had a great time. I was hot and wore out by the time we finished, but it was a great trip.
Had an awesome day of fishing with captain Bill! We He made to day fun and exciting. Plus he took time out to teach. Highly recommend!! Best day I’ve bass fishing I’ve had in a really long time!!
