Bass Fishing Central Florida (The Captain)

Replied on November 16, 2023

Marty, thank you for your feed back however I don’t think that is a fair assessment. You guys caught fish exactly how I said you would. Even on a day that the wind was blowing 20 gusting to 30. You requested the north chain and I spent 2 of my days off putting together a pattern for you guys to use during your upcoming tournament. To recommend people not fish Winter Haven fishing charter after 6 hours under less than stellar weather conditions is not fair. I work very hard to put my clients... More

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!

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.

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!

A Truly Memorable Fishing Experience

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... More
