AJ’s Bass Guides 

We booked a 5 hour trip and were guided by Captain Jay. He was great with my 11 year old, and made sure she had fun and caught several fish, including her PB, of about 4lb! The day was not perfect, as even the best guides cannot guarantee the fish will bite. We caught about 7 fish during the 5 hour trip, and only caught one during the first 2 1/2 hours. It was pretty obviously as slow day, judging by most of the reviews here and the clearly slow start, by any standard. Jay suspected/noticed that our bait was not lively enough, and called for fresh shiners, which we received about halfway through the trip. After refreshing bait and changibg spots, the bite picked up, and we caught a few nice fish to end the day. Missed out on a true hog, or a huge number of fish, but my kid caught more and bigger bass than she ever had before, and had a great time! What more can you ask for? Jay was very professional, knowledgeable and fun to fish with. I definitely recommend this trip, and would book again, but would hope that the bait is really good and lively from the start, because those shiners are WAY too expensive to just lay around out there and not catch fish! Thanks Jay!

Purchased the fishing trip for my husband’s 65th birthday. A spectacular day fishing. This is the first guided trip we have ever been on. Would definitely do it again for sure. AJ is a fun and knowledgeable guide. Appreciate the time he spent with us and the patience he had with me. AJ, thank you for a memorable birthday gift.

Communication with AJ's Bass Guides was extremely clear. They delivered information and answered questions in a very timely manner. Our guide, Dalton, met us exactly where and when he said he would and had picked up the agreed upon Shiner's we'd discussed pre-trip. He was very easy to talk to, knew a lot about the lake and surrounding areas (which were new to us), and willfully shared a lot of knowledge. The weather wasn't perfect as there were continuous squalls throughout the day with the briefest of sun pops through the clouds and a lot of wind, whitecapping at multiple times. But he was well prepared for that though (including having a extra set of raingear pants which we'd forgotten). He did his best to avoid the brunt of the squalls when possible and handled the boat very well despite the wind. He did get us on to fish throughout the day. Maybe not the 100+ he'd noted the day before, but given the weather he did put us on dozens of fish mostly in the 1-3 pound range throughout the day. We were never able to hook the trophy fish we were after, but it was a great day of fishing with Dalton and we look forward to going after them again and would definitely seek out Dalton (and AJ's guides) again without hesitation.

AJ was a great fish Captain. He was very helpful and patient. Very knowledgeable of the fish and lake. We had a friendly competition between Dad and Son vs. Mom and Daughter. The boys won 10 fish to 8 fish in 2.5 hours. Biggest fish goes to son Bass 7 pounds 2 oz. Most interesting fish was a bow fin fish and the winner goes to our daughter. Captain AJ made it fun and helped us keep track of the winners. AJ next time I’ll pay you more so the girls win lol. Anyone wanting great fish, fun family fishing with a great Captain this is Your trip. Thanks AJ. Samuel and Grace will remember this forever!! Can’t wait to do it again maybe 4 hours next time.

Today was a great morning out on Lake Toho! Even though it was horrible weather, AJ was able to put us on fish! He made sure to bring us rain gear! This was our 3rd time out with him and once again we thought it was successful! Thanks for a great morning AJ!

Captain Gaines put us on the fish immediately. I caught 14 beautiful bass including 4 personal best fish In A Row! The 5 best totaled 21.14 lbs. And, my new PB is 5 lbs 9 oz. Even come afternoon when the bite got a little tougher, he kept putting us on fish. I can’t wait to come back and I’ll be bringing my twin sons when I do. The shiner bite was amazing. Do yourself a favor and book this trip! I can’t speak highly enough of Captain Gaines. It was truly a pleasure fishing with him. He’s not only a great fisherman and Captain but he’s a really nice person.

Experience the thrill of the best bass fishing Florida has to offer. Their user-friendly online booking makes planning a breeze. Tailored to your preferences, whether with artificial or live bait, the trip is designed to meet your goals. Their expert guide (Dalton) was incredibly knowledgeable and quickly put us right on the fish. My grandson proudly caught his personal best at 6.5 pounds, all smiles and excitement. This unforgettable fishing adventure was the perfect finale to an amazing Disney trip. You won't want to miss it!

AJ Fishing Guides gave us one of the best days we have ever had on the water. Captain Jay knew exactly where to put us and kept the trip fun the whole time. My son landed his PB and they were able to get some awesome shots of it. The boat was loaded with all the lures, tackle, and all the equipment you could ever want, so we were ready for anything. Great people, great service, and a trip we will never forget. At the end of the day my son caught his PB and it made the whole experience perfect.

AJ was one of the nicest friendliest guides I've ever fished with. It seriously was like fishing with a buddy from school. He was personable, patient and helpful with my son (11), as well as just being comfortable to be around and converse with. He put us on some fish we definitely wouldn't have caught back home and I even caught a surprise 11-12" crappie! Highly recommended, I even told him as we were departing at the boat ramp that I'd look him up again if/when we were back in town!

14 largemouth in 2.5 hours. We landed a 5 and 7 pounder, both personal bests for my son and I. Tyler was a great guide! I recommend it to anyone!
