The Crappie bite has been on fire recently in Lake Okeechobee, we've had a lot of 100-150 fish days with some really nice 12-14in fish weighing up to Two Pounds! We've been consistently catching multiple limits in just a few hours with people of all ages!

My teenage daughter and I had a great trip with Captain Phil today. We weren’t out there long before my daughter reeled in a snapper. In total we caught snapper, Bonito, and Blackfin Tuna. After docking Capt Phil filleted, bagged, and iced the tuna for us.

R.J. And Nick was fantastic. Their boat was very nice and spacious. We caught a huge 42”/15lb dolphin within an hour after leaving the dock. Nick cleaned and filleted the fish and pointed us in the direction of a local restaurant that would cook it up for us.
