Tim,
I read a bunch of your reports for John’s Lake. This past Friday was the first time I ever fished it, I normally fish the West Coast….Rousseau, rainbow river, Withlacoochee etc. Anyway, I own my own bait company and have written many articles for various publications, as well as did a few TV shows over the years. Johns lake is a really nice looking place. It is similar to all the water i fish, every spot just looks so good, you’d think it should have fish everywhere….but, we all no it doesn’t. Any way we found them just before the Deer Island cut through, on the East shoreline and we followed it south in 10 to 12 ft. Lucky Craft LV 100’s in Ayu and LV500’s in aurora gold did the trick. No big fish but we got a few 2lbers. The docks and shallows were dead, the hump just as you get into the horseshoe produced a few small fish. I got a 10lb channel cat on a LV500 and took a few pickeral on a Spit n Image. Thanks for your help directing me to a game plan.

Dear Tim,
A big thank you for my very enjoyable day’s bass fishing last week on the Butler chain lakes. It was my first time (we have nothing like this in England!)& you really helped me out, culminating in a couple of bass being caught.
I am now back in the UK… & guess what? “It’s Raining”! How did the peacock bass fishing session go in Miami? I hope a few ended up in the boat.
Lovely looking fish (looked pics up on www) & I bet they battle all the way to the deck!
Next time I am out in Florida I will look forward to a couple of days out on the boat with you, hopefully not to long till I get back to the sunshine state.
Got your business cards & will recommend you highly to any one wishing to Fish with a “true pro”!
All the best…
Kind regards

Tim,
I wanted to thank you for the advice you post on the website. I moved to Florida about a year ago. I get on the water about twice a week. I have been fairly successful catching bass and specks on John’s Lake and the Clermont Chain but never had a day like I did this past Saturday after reading your posting. I prefer crankbait fishing. When I saw your posting about John’s Lake and using steel shads I ordered a few. I went out from sunrise to about 11 am. Caught over 30 bass, including one that was 8lbs. I even caught a 7lb grass pickeral.
Thanks again. The next time I go out with a guide or someone asks who to recommend I will be recommending you.

Hi Tim,
It’s Brian from this past Monday’s fishing trip. I just wanted to say thanks again for taking my cousin and I out. We had a great time….He couldn’t stop asking fishing questions the whole ride back. Hopefully he’ll continue and keep the sport growing.
If you’re ever up in this area, feel free to get in touch with me about local spots or tourneys. Oh yeah, and keep me informed about those lures you’re making when you put them on the market. I’m always looking to upgrade my tackle! Thanks again Tim.

Hey Tim
First of all I have to thank you so much for writing about our whole trip and my picture on your web site.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I never expected that at all .. but I am very grateful for you doing that ! you really did make my 17 year long dream come true!! You never gave up on finding me that bass! You did everything I asked you for and then some when I booked my trip with you
I was very impressed that thru our day together you didn’t forget a thing that I had asked from you. You didn’t ask me what else did you want to do today ? you were up to date on the client you had in your boat. you taught me how to cast better, how to tie up WAY WAY BETTER for a man with “ms”. You are a great fishing guide, and I really had a blast just talking and laughing together.
Thanks again for the HONOR to have gone fishing with you and to be on your website Tim!!
I CAN’T WAIT TO GET TO GO OUT WITH YOU AGAIN IN MARCH OF NEXT YEAR !

I’d like to thank Captain Tim Fey of Florida Bass Fishing for a great guide service. I will admit that I was a little reluctant to hire a guide, having never done it before, and hearing stories of how some guides basically do everything for you, allowing you to only reel in the fish, however Captain Tim allowed us to do whatever we wanted, was very down to earth, helped us out with finding some spots, and allowed us to do the fishing. Thank you Tim for a great day.

Tim,
I wanted to thank you for absolutely making our trip to Florida worth while! My nine year old son has not stopped talking about catching a four pound five ounce Largemouth! And how his father “lost another huge bass”! It was great to get the opportunity to learn as much as we did, I really appreciate your willingness to share some great tips and a few great secrets! We are already planning for our next trip next year! Thanks again for everything! We’ll be in touch soon!

Captain Tim Fey,
Just a short note to thank you again for the terrific time we had fishing with you on Lake Toho (I won’t even try to spell out that crazy lake name) you are truly a gentlemen, and a great guide. My son Billy must have asked me 10 times when are we going fishing again with Captain Tim, We so much appreciate your patience and commitment to making sure we had a super time, which we did and that 9lb fish,I still think she was 10 certainly made the trip all that more special. We will be visiting Florida again next year and we will definitely fish with you again.
Doug Hannon was right you are very good.

The making of a pro:
Shane learns fast, on the way home he was talking about the fish he caught and after the second time through the story, he had already changed it to, the first bass was 6lbs and then the 12lb bass got away. I reminded him, the first one was a 3lb bass. He also talked about the other two that got away. The one before the 3lb and the one after the 12lb loss. He was counting everything. He has learned the most important parts of fishing, catching fish and having fun!. I am a proud papa!
Thank You for a good time yesterday, it was great being out there with you and my son, I will never forget it.
Shane and I are looking forward to the next fishing trip in July.
Thanks again

Capt. Tim,
Thanks again for handling and putting my “Gang” on fish, you are awesome , I’ve never seen a guide net 3 fish at the same time, that my friend was a sackful. I was nervous with my youngsters onboard,but you are a true professional when it comes to explaining and assisting your clients with catching the Big ones. I had heard stories of 40-50 fish on a trip but never really expected it. Captain you did it, and we look forward to seeing you again on our next visit to Central Florida.
All the best,
Skip
