  Winter Haven Bass

  4-Hour Bass Fishing Trip AM on October 18, 2025 • 2 adults

  Great Capt he knew the secret spots definitely put us on the fish. In all honesty it was a great trip, the only thing I can say that that threw me off was having to pay for the bait we used at the end of the trip. I guess I should’ve read the fine print. I have used fishing booker about 10 other times and never had to pay for the bait.

  Joe, thank you so much for leaving this 5-star review and recommendation for Winter Haven Chain fishing. Happy to get you on the fish and having a great time on the water! Sorry for the confusion on bait, it is always an additional cost for freshwater trips. Looking forward to doing it again in the future!

  Fun day

  4-Hour Bass Fishing Trip AM on March 20, 2026 • 3 adults • 1 child

  11-year-old son wanted to hit some bass on spring break. He ended up catching the most. Captain Reno got us on the fish and we had a great time.

  A Truly Memorable Fishing Experience

  on April 1, 2025

  The boat was in pristine condition and very comfortable, offering a great space for everyone to relax while we cruised to our fishing spots. Bill’s expertise in the local waters was impressive, and he quickly put us on the fish, ensuring we had multiple opportunities to reel in some big catches. His patience and guidance made it a great trip for both novice and experienced anglers. Beyond the fishing, Bill’s hospitality truly set this trip apart. He made sure everyone was having a good time, whether they were fishing, enjoying the scenery, or simply chatting. His easygoing nature created a fun and relaxing atmosphere on board. If you’re looking for a fishing charter in the Winter Haven area, I highly recommend Bill Goudy Jr. and his team. It was a fantastic day out on the water, and I can’t wait for the next trip!

  Two Cups of Gas and 22 Bass

  6-Hour Bass Fishing Trip on January 14, 2024 • 2 adults

  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.
