Welcome to Bassin' with Capt. Lou - South Florida bass fishing made easy, fun, and memorable.
I am a South Florida native and lifelong bass addict with 35+ years chasing trophy Largemouth and colorful Miami Peacock Bass. Whether you are brand new, bringing the family, or you are an experienced angler looking to dial in local patterns, my goal is simple: help you catch fish, learn something, and have a blast on the water.
WHERE WE FISH
Miami Urban Canals: the famous Peacock Bass bite and steady action
Florida Everglades: classic largemouth + peacock water with wild scenery
YOUR RIDE
You will fish from my sleek and spacious 19' 2019 Vexus bass boat powered by a reliable Mercury ProXS 115. It cruises comfortably and lets you enjoy the scenery while we hop between high-odds areas.
WHAT'S INCLUDED
Top-shelf rods and reels (adult and kid setups)
Tackle and hands-on coaching from the first cast
Ice and bottled water
Bring your favorite gear if you like - I will gladly help you put it to work.
BAIT OPTIONS
Live shiners are available for an additional cost when you want maximum bites, especially for peacocks and tough conditions. Artificial lures are welcome too - we can tailor the day to your style.
IMPORTANT NOTES
A valid Florida freshwater fishing license is required before the trip
Snacks/food are not provided (you are welcome to bring your own)
Gratuity is not included but is always appreciated
Deposits are non-refundable once trip-related expenses have been incurred
Ready to chase big bass and make some memories? Pick your location and trip length and let's get you on the water. Book your Miami, Everglades, or Lake Ida adventure today!
MEETUP & STYLE
Meetup locations are confirmed after booking for Miami, or the Everglades. Beginners and kids welcome. I will help you land fish, take
photos, and keep things relaxed while we focus on key spots and steady action.
