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
Lake Ida (Palm Beach County): peacocks, largemouth, and a shot at bonus Clown Knife
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, Everglades, or Lake Ida. 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.

My son and I had an amazing afternoon catching bass with Capt Lou!! We caught 22+ bass, and Capt Lou set us up perfectly for our skill set and put us on fish! Would definitely do it again next time we’re back in FL!
Thank you for the kind words Steve. We sure had a fun outing! Thank you for choosing Bassin' with Capt. Lou guide service, and for allowing me to teach you guys what's bass fishing all about in the Everglades! Looking forward to fishing with you guys again! Capt. Lou

Hi, I'm Capt. Luis 'Lou' Lagrange — a South Florida native and lifelong bass angler. I started fishing at 10 years old and never looked back. For the past 25+ years I've focused on what I love most: chasing Florida largemouth and Miami peacock bass in the Everglades and local canals. I'm big on keeping trips fun and productive — whether you're a first-timer, bringing the family, or you've been fishing your whole life. Every day on the water is different, and I take pride in figuring out the bite, teaching simple techniques, and putting you on fish. Let's go make some memories and catch some bass!
