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.

The bite will be pure outrageous once it hits 78 degrees. Right after Ian it dropped to 78 and bite was insane and fish were concentrated. Temps are still up at 80 degrees at the moment and there are fish there… but you have to cover quite a few miles to be productive.

Went out offshore this morning, clients hooked into 3 King Macks quick, then a pod of Dolphins moved in on us. Kings went down. and when the kings go down like that you’re wasting your time to stick around so we bumped it offshore. Hooked into a good size Mahi, had another ~20 pounder bust off. Then things went cold. So we picked it up and motored back to one of my favorite spots where we picked up a Bonito, 2 Baracuda, a 4-5ft Silky Shark, and to top it all off two lunker Black Fin Tuna! First was right...

First was right under 20lbs and the second was pushing 30lbs if not over. Absolute studs. As far as an outlook goes, with this wind picking up and Tropical noise pushing up our way, we’ll be inland bass fishing for the next couple days. But given the bite today and recently, once the swells die down out there next week, I’ve got a feeling it’s going to be on Like Crazy!
Billy was great. Great communication before we arrived! Put us on fish and had great knowledge of the water! Will definitely book again and would recommend Capt Billy to anyone coming to fish!
Chad and JJ were both great. We had a slow day of fishing but JJ busted his butt trying to keep us on the fish. We hooked two sailfish which made the whole trip worth it! Boat was very nice too!
Had a great trip all around, good vibes! Captain Calvin was very knowledgeable and a great guide. Put us on a lot of fish and was very professional. Can’t wait til next time!
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!
