Saturday, January 14, 2023 8:04:56 AM From: Craig Grew up fishing south and central Florida back in the 60s and 70s. Moved out of Florida in early 80s. Been decades since bass fishing this area. Was in Kissimmee on business with time to kill. Called Captain Bill and set up a charter. One of the best fishing days I’ve enjoyed in many many years. Captain Bill put me on fish within minutes. Caught some brutes. He knows his fishing area like a true pro. Will be calling him again next trip to Florida. |
Monday, April 05, 2021 2:53:21 PM From: cary stirling Captian Bill was the best bass fishing day ever. Bill put us on big bass in 7 minutes after we left the dock. We caught bass all morning long Why did I wait so long to go fishing in this area in Florida. I'll be back and I'm thinking this fall. why wait. |
Monday, March 08, 2021 10:17:45 PM From: Jared Capt Bill was great! We landed 22 bass in a half day! My 13 yr old son and I had a blast catching and releasing those beautiful fish. Thanks for a great day!! |

Friday, May 03, 2019 3:32:04 PM From: Mark Mueller
Went out with my son and had a blast!!!! We caught a ton of fish !!! Captain Bill was so helpful and very fun to be with. The price was the best around for the trip and the bait. If you plan a trip make sure you have plenty of bait because you are going to catch some big fish and lots of them. We had such a good time on Thursday we booked a cancellation he had for Friday. This was on April 25th and 26th of 2019. Thanks again Captain Bill and see you next year |

Thursday, April 11, 2019 7:22:02 PM From: Marv and Kim Hutchinson
We went fishing with Bill yesterday, April 10th, we caught 16 Black Bass from 3 to 10 pounds, it was awesome. Bill is a fantastic guide and knew a lake Toho like the back of his hand. We had never fished with shiners before, but Bill showed us the techniques, and we really enjoyed learning a new way to catch bass. A+1 rating from us and I can guarantee that the next time we come back to Florida, Bill will be out guide. I asked him about the weekend, but he was already booked up. Very informative guide who really knows how to catch bass. Thanks again Bill. |

Captain Bill took us out today and we had a great time, he knows exactly where fish are and makes the trip a blast. We caught more than I do on a deep sea charter, had to get more bait which was on the water and easy to get. Will do it again, thanks Bill! |

Captain Bill Whipple was just a name on a website when we left Louisville Kentucky, but before we were done fishing we knew him as “Wild Bill in the White Boat” we caught fish all day. My wife had the opportunity to catch lots of fish too! The icing on the cake was the 8.25 lb. Bass and we gained a friend in Captain Wild Bill. Thanks and we will see you soon!

Went with Capt. Bill fishing yesterday with my grandson . The wind was blowing and cold stating out. I have fished in a lot of lakes and I thought that it would be a bad day but he proved me wrong . Started out just a few hits so he moved and boy did we get on them . I lost track of how may we caught . I guess to can show an old dog new tricks. Thanks Wild Bill for showing Benny a great time for his birthday. We will be back. |

Went fishing with captain bill. Had an excellent time, caught lots of fish and big ones too. He baited every hook and took every fish off the hook, had very good equipment. Knew where the fish were and how to catch them. Very pleased with captain Bill, i would highly recommend him, excellent guide. |
Friday, December 14, 2018 12:23:58 PM From: Pat M
Every time we come to Orlando we make it a point to book an excursion with Captain Bill. He is extremely knowledgeable about the lake and puts us on fish every time. Yesterday (12/13/18) he took us to an area of the lake that brought a fish on every cast for at least 20 casts! While this isn't typical it's what he strives for on every trip. Not only is Captain Bill a great guide, he's also a lot of fun. He connects with everyone in the group and has some great stories. |

I had another wonderful experience for the 2nd time out on Lake Toho with Captain Bill Whipple! I caught multiple fish the entire time while out on the water. I’ll definitely be back in the future! Highly recommended if you’re ever in the area. |
Tuesday, July 24, 2018 9:34:31 PM From: Bob Rottet
Captain Whipple took me and two of my sons out on lake Toho today (7/24/18). I found Captain Whipple by googling best guides in Orlando area. Immediately after speaking with him (the actual captain and not a booking agent) I knew he was going to get us on fish. He had that enthusiasm that I share when fishing in my home state of PA. We started early and immediately found fish. Bill told us everything we needed to know as well as some history and current events in Florida and regarding the Lake itself. While we caught fish and some very nice ones the best two things I can say about Captain Whipple is his enthusiasm and enjoyment in seeing us hook into fish and simply his overall company. A fun guy, a true fisherman, and a great captain. Had a great day with Captain Bill. He’s a straight shooter and will work hard to get you what you’re looking for.

Saturday, July 07, 2018 11:58:38 PM From: Josh Coffman
Just wanted to say a big thank you to Captain Bill for another great fishing trip. My dad and I have been fishing with Captain Bill for over a decade now but this year my 7 year old son came along. He had an experience of a lifetime, catching his biggest bass ever. The only bad part my son talks about is that we have to wait a whole year to make the trip from Ohio to do it all over again. Thanks again Captain Bill and we will see you next Spring!!! |
Saturday, June 23, 2018 4:00:32 PM From: Kizmik McPherson and Quay Odoms
Captain Bill was an AWESOME tour guide. He knew the perfect spots to catch and he taught us awesome techniques. We probably caught over 30 bass, however it was mostly catch and release due to the fish and game laws. Captain Bill is high energy, hardworking, and willing to do whatever it takes to ensure your bass fishing trip is a success. The best part about it all, Captain Bill cleaned and filleted the bass we were able to keep. This service was done at NO EXTRA COST! You will not see any other guide provide this amount of service. Book with Captain Bill! You will not regret it!!!! |
Friday, June 08, 2018 7:29:48 AM From: Evan Loback
Fishing with Captain Bill was a big highlight of our recent trip to Florida. Captain Bill knows where the fish are, what they are eating and exactly how to catch the big ones. The action was non stop and I caught my personal best bass. This was my first trip to Florida so a nice bonus on the fishing trip was getting to chat with Captain Bill about the local area and get a non-tourist version from someone who grew up there. Captain Bill is an excellent guide and this Florida experience is highly recommend! |
Saturday, April 21, 2018 4:27:14 PM From: Roy Pearson
Fishing in Orlando with Captain Bill Whipple is always above average and exceeds expectations on every trip. We have regularly fished with with Capt Bill for 10 years now and he has never let us down and today was no exception with an excess of 20 fish and great stories.
We would not use anybody else. |
Saturday, April 21, 2018 12:01:43 PM From: GEORGE STEINHAUSER
Have been out with Captain Bill multiple times. This year no different. Unprecedented assistance and guidance from Captain Bill. A fishing trip is one with him that you will remember for your entire life. He not only makes it a great experience on the water but puts pyou on Plenty of Fish. I will not go out with anyone else when I am down in the Orlando area. |
Tuesday, April 17, 2018 3:58:50 PM From: April Psage
Me and my son (10 yrs) had a terrific time with Capt. Bill. If you want to catch fish this is the charter for you. Well worth the money spent. Capt. Bill promises a good trip, but over delivers. I will book this charter again! |

I booked a five hour guided bass fishing trip with Captain Bill Whipple January 22, 2018. Surprise Christmas present for my dad. We had a blast and caught so many fish! My dad caught his new personal PB! What an awesome day! Captian Bill was so knowledgeable about the lake and Florida wildlife! Would highly recommend to anyone considering a guided tour of trophy bass fishing. We will be repeat customers for sure! |
Friday, January 05, 2018 9:31:25 PM From: Ken Tharp
We had cold tough conditions for fishing but captain Bill knows the lake very well and got us to the fish. For tough conditions ie 40 degrees we caught fish and Captain Bill worked hard to get us fish and fish we got.
Very hard worker very knowledgeable and makes it's enjoyable for all. If you want to catch fish let captain Bill work for you. |

Went out with Capt Bill April 17.Started early and enjoyed the sunrise and some willing Bass, a couple af hours with action, hooking Bass and a couple of long nosed Gar. Bill is the man to contact in order to get a nice trip on Lake Toho, his knowledge about the fishing and wildlife is amazing, and he´s on top of that fun to be around:-) |

Came down to Florida from Wisconsin on Feb 24th 2017 and booked one of the best fishing trips ever!! Captain Bill and I had some great times talking about fishing along with catching some nice Bass. Got us on bass right away and Bill kept us on bass all day! Great time! Nice Captain! All around just what I wanted! Coming from that far away one never knows what to expect. But after talking to Bill he kept his promise to catch fish! Thank you Bill! |
Thursday, March 16, 2017 9:26:44 AM From: Wayne Solinsky
I booked a bass fishing trip on March 14th 2017 and the weather was very windy 10 to 25 MPH. But that did not affect the catch. Caught many fish (17) plus others like gar and dog fish. took some nice photos and threw all the extra over the limit fish back.
Captain Bill get's you on fish. I was very satisfied, he does a great job as a guide.
Thanks for the great time fishing Captain Bill.
I would highly recommend booking your fishing with Captain Bill. |

You will not be sorry. |
Saturday, March 04, 2017 11:05:17 AM From: Terry Montgomery
Captain Bill Whipple is one great guide and will take care of you. I have fished with a number of guides over the years but Captain Bill truly stands out. The fishing at Lake Toho is the best I have ever seen and I attribute this to Bill's knowledge of the lake. Conditions can change daily and Bill really knows this lake. My wife is not an early riser and Bill was able to get the bait and have everything ready before we joined him and had a great time. Roughly 14 large mouths made it to the boat. This is really my favorite place to fish and with my favorite guide. Cannot wait until next time. |
Monday, February 06, 2017 1:33:22 PM From: Joe
We got so much for our money! The wildlife was worth the price and the fishing was a bonus. We were even able to catch a few on our own using the pointers we got from you. Thank you! We will be back for sure. |

This was my third guided bass fishing trip with Captain Bill Whipple and the first for my friend, who was on short leave from the US Air Force. We fished with wild shiners on West Lake Toho and were on the bass immediately!
My friend landed his personal best and I lost count how many bass we caught in total. We also caught a huuuuge bowfin, saw Bald Eagles, rare Snail Kites (hawks) up close, and a couple of gators.
Best of all, my friend was able to get in dozens of reps at setting the hook with live bait. I was hoping for a high numbers day for that very reason and we got it. Captain Bill provided pro tips throughout the day which will absolutely be utilized for a lifetime. Take note Florida residents: if you think you have live bait fishing down, I suggest you take a guided trip on nearby Lake Toho for a master class with Captain Bill Whipple. |
Friday, December 16, 2016 7:47:51 AM From: Larry Guy
Hey Bill, I just wanted to tell you thanks for taking us fishing. Even though we didn’t catch and big momma’s we had a great time. I attached a pic of my fishin hole, some stripers we caught and my pet rattle snake. I will call you when we come back down. Hopefully cooler weather = better fishing. If you are bored one rainy day check out my buddy on You tube (Kayak bass fishing with Chad Hoover) he is a clown but a good fisherman. Take care buddy. |
Saturday, July 16, 2016 12:32:54 PM From: Andrew Klunk
Captain Bill was a great guide and very professional. You could definitely tell he is a hard worker and will do whatever he can to get you on some big ones. He'll also teach you a heck of a lot about fishing if you're down to learn. Thank you again Bill' |

Just finished had another great day on the water with Captain Bill. I would highly recommend anyone wanting to have a chance of a lifetime to catch a trophy bass to book him. He absolutely works his butt off for you and enjoys your successes as his own. My dad and I have been booking him on yearly basis for 9 years now and the memories we have of him and the Giants we have caught will always stick in our minds, especially when we are fishing back home in Ohio. Thanks Bill |

Friday, December 12, 2014 12:55:05 PM From: Ann and Jeff Davis - We had the most amazing trip with Capt. Bill! As a double birthday gift, we wanted to spend a day fishing. We didn't just fish...we caught! Our arms hurt from reeling (and posing with a 12lb. bass), and our sides hurt from laughing at Capt. Bill and his hilarious stories from a life spent on the water! What did NOT hurt was our wallet. The trip, the bait, the whole experience was affordable and well worth every penny we spent.
We highly recommend Capt. Bill and will absolutely be joining him for another adventure! |
Saturday, July 26, 2014 4:32:59 PM From: GRANDPA AND DUSTIN - WE WERE IN ORLANDO FOR TWO AAU BASKETBALL TORNAMENTS. cONTACTED CAPT BILL FOR A 4-HOUR FISHING TRIP. WE SET A DATE BUT TOLD CAPT BILL. IF WE GET LIMITED IN THE TOURNAMENT WE MIGHT WANT TO MOVE UP OUR DATE. HE SAID NO PROBLEM. WE DID LOSE IN THE QUARTER FINALS AND WENT FISHING TWO DAYS EARLY. WE WERE ON THE LAKE AT 6:30AM. WE CAUGHT MAYBE A DOZEN FISH. THE BIGEST WAS BY DUSTIN 9 LB LARGE MOUTH BASS. WE WERE BACK AT THE BOAT RAMP AT 11:45aM. YOU DO THE MATH. GREAT DAY GREAT TRIP. CAPT. BILL IS YOUR QUIDE |
Saturday, March 22, 2014 12:05:36 PM From: Ray Baybrook - As promised we keep coming back to fish with you cause you are the BEST
Now dad is 90 years young and again you take care of him like your father, you make is so easy to get him in and out of the boat and this year with his walker and the new floating dock makes it easy for him to get in and out.( Thank Wild Willy)
So for those of you from 5 to 90 if you want to go fishing in St Cloud Fl Captain Bill Whipple is the one you want to go fishing with....And you always catch fish..
Thanks for all the years of fishing and Great Time on the Water....See you in a few weeks with my grandson....and Dad again |

Friday, November 08, 2013 6:52:55 PM From: Jay & Sonja - Just wanted to say Captain Bill is the man for great fishing while in the St. Cloud area. We actually had a BIG fish hooked and the rod went into the lake while Captain Bill was tending to the boat. Poor fella wanted to jump in & get it, but it just wasn't in the cards that particular day. About an hour or so after our excursion he called us back to tell us how he found the rod along with a 5# Bass tangled in the weeds. We're glad you got your rod back Captain Bill and wanted to tell you thanks again for a great fishing excursion. |
Monday, March 18, 2013 4:31:03 PM From: John Galasso - Just got back from a great fishing day with Captain Bill. His personality and courteous approach to fishing with a rookie makes him an outstanding credit to the Florida charter industry. Again, thanks for a great day! |
Wednesday, November 07, 2012 11:56:12 AM From: Darren and Joseph Ruane - We would like to say a big thank you to Captain Bill for a fantastic morning of fishing on the 22nd October.

I will post some of the pictures on your facebook page. |

Thursday, November 10, 2011 12:00:00 AM From: Peggy - I just spoke with you on the phone about the wonderful MEMORIES you just gave to my son Blain and his buddy Cody!! They are vacationing with Cody's Aunt in St Cloud. We are from Pittsburgh and they just called to tell me what an "awesome" time they had with you!! My son Blains exact words were.."Mom, Bill is the BEST!!!" Thank you from the bottom of my heart for giving these two teenage boys a fishing trip they will NEVER forget!! This means the world to them!! |
Thursday, November 10, 2011 12:00:00 AM From: Scott Earls - Boy we sure did enjoy our trip with you yesterday! Fishing was good early; then a little later on I caught a 7.95 – which is my personal best!!! (which was 7.0 almost 10 years ago. I finally topped it!!!)
You were a terrific guide! Here are just a few things that I noticed: * You were right on time and ready to go first thing in the morning * Your boat was in excellent condition and was VERY clean – and you kept it that way all morning long * Your fishing equipment was prepared and ready to go; and you had everything we needed * You always kept us in the most productive areas to fish – which was a lot of work at times * You (somehow) saw us getting hits when dad and I both had no clue at times * You taught us how to catch fish with live bait and heavy equipment (something us mid-westerners had no clue about) * You were especially patient with me when I made mistakes * You were especially considerate of dad knowing that he doesn’t see very well * And you were very pleasant to be with and visit with.
Honestly, you did everything and much more than we expected from a fishing guide! Thanks for such a great day of fishing!

Thursday, November 10, 2011 12:00:00 AM From: Christ P - Capt. Bill, I just wanted to drop you a line and say thank you for the trip this past Saturday. We had a awesome time. Your love for fishing and wanting to catch fish defiantly made the difference when I compare your trip to others I have done in the past. If you ever need a reference feel free to use me as a contact. |
Thursday, November 10, 2011 12:00:00 AM From: Tim Carter - Just wanted to thank you again for the fantastic fishing. We greatly enjoyed the afternoon. The fishing was excellent and your knowledge of all aspects of the lake and bass fishing were ''"the icing on the cake". The pictures turned out great. Can''t wait for the mount to be completed. We already have a spot for it on the wall. If you ever need a reference, feel free to have people contact me. |
Thursday, November 10, 2011 12:00:00 AM From: Ron Levine - Thanks for a great time. You are great with my dad and son and I learned a lot. I certainly do have a lot to learn. We all enjoyed it very much. Brett thinks you are great. He really loves fishing but that is not my specialty. Have a happy Thanksgiving. We love that work "sockalau" for the fish. |
Thursday, November 10, 2011 12:00:00 AM From: Joe McLachlan - Hello Captain Bill, I just have to tell you I loved the time my son John and I spent together with you. The entire time we spent at TOHO was a blast of fun. He caught some big bass that morning. I''ll never forget when you showed him how to set the hook with that shiner on the other end. He ripped it so hard that he pulled a buck bass over the top of the boat 20 feet and the fish landed in the opening of the creek mouth. Then we moved a bit to the Spanish hydrilla beds and then you set him up to catch the big one. I was so proud at that moment and I owe it to you Bill. What an excellent time we had. Redneck fishing can sure be fun. I have no plans to be back at Disney soon but I remember quite well how I felt fishing in Central Florida. Let''s keep in touch. I will send you the picture attachment of John and the big one he caught this week perhaps. Dropped off camera at Wal-Mart...Never got it back but I swear tomorrow. |
Thursday, October 13, 2011 12:00:00 AM From: Joe Donoghue - Had a great day of fishing with you on Friday 9/23/11!! It was wild seeing all the gators !! Will definley be calling you again when I am back on vacation. You are a great Captain and thanks!!!Joe. Jumbomvfd501@Verizon.net |
Monday, August 29, 2011 12:00:00 AM From: Chi-Town Zed - I booked our fishing trip with Cptn. Bill for early August and we had an AWESOME expierience!!! I was a little worried about it being the begining of the hottest time of the year but Cpt Bill GUARANTEED a great time and boy did he come through! There is no more informative, people friendly person than Cpt Bill. He knew exactly where to go and took the time to tell us what to do get those big bass out!! If I had to mention any downfall from this outing it would be that I ruined the rest of fishing year back home in Chicago because I have NEVER pulled out any fish like I did that day. This was our fist time out with Cpt Bil and it will NOT be our last. HIGHLY RECOMMENED!!! |

Thursday, February 10, 2011 12:00:00 AM From: Ray Baybrook - Captain Bill we want to thank you for the great time and GREAT fishing
So worth the recommendation to use you as a guide
But most of all I want to thank you for taking great care of my father, at 87 he does not get around like he use to and you took the extra time to help him in and out of the boat and along the dock, just like he was your father and I do thank you for that (he thinks you are great also)
Your Great help and the fishing made this trip the BEST fishing trip in the last 40 years fishing in Florida.
Will be calling you for more fishing when we come down to St Cloud again. |
