Spent last weekend with Canadian clients, went out on lake Kissimmee, and the stick marsh, Kissimmee was tough on us the first day, had 3 big fish bite, only landed one of them, a 7.3! She was a beautiful! Next day we were out on Stick-marsh, lotta smalls, nothing really to brag about, had a blast though, nice places to fish!!

Fishing has been pretty good coming off full moon. Water temp is about right. Females have been on the move for spawning.

It's spawn time in Okeechobee, waters high, Okeechobee is fishing small though. The fish are ganged up in certain areas. Good thing is, it's a really picturesque place to fish! Crappie are biting as well... some good ones too, slabs!! The senko bite and chatterbait bites getting hotter by the day for largemouth on okeechobee!! Local canals are doing well, even after the cold snap that caused a fish kill for cichlid species. Bass, peacock bass, and clown knifefish are all biting really well on both live bait and artificials."

I’ve been fishing okeechobee since mid 80s. Been a captain for 10 years. Fishing out of a 23ft bay reef Keywest boat. As of now I’m only available on Fri Sat Sundays and all major holidays. My job is to make a dream come true for who ever wants to learn and fish the great lake of Okeechobee.

    Unfortunately the Everglades had up to 3 inches of rain the night before, therefore the fishing was not good. He then hooked us up with Greg Hutch and we salt water fished the following morning. Had fun with both, just better fishing in the ocean.

    10/10 we had a great time, Jose was great. He knew where all the big fish were, and I ended up catching my personal best large mouth bass! Definitely recommend Jose with captain experiences, we are definitely gonna book with him again in the future!

    Captain Remus and First Mate Big Willie were outstanding guides and instructors. We were novice fishermen and they made this a fun and enjoyable experience. Highly recommend them to be your Captain and First Mate! We caught 38 fish in 4 hours! They know where the fish are!!
