About Your Trip

If your looking for monster Large Mouth bass you've come to the right place.

Lake Okeechobee bass fishing is considered some of the best freshwater fishing in the United States, and even considered one of the premier fishing destinations in the world.

So whether you are a spinner-bait or jig flipping fisherman, your guide JP will teach you the latest tricks to catching Florida bass. Equipment for bass fishing varies from light spinning tackle to heavy-duty flipping rods, and with over 30 years of experience guiding this premier fishery JP knows all the tricks and is excited to share them with you!

On the day of your trip you’ll be fishing aboard JP's 21' Storm bass fishing vessel equipped with a 250 HP Mercury Pro XS, live bait well, wireless trolling motor, and an ice box. This boat can accommodate 2 fishermen.

Make sure you bring a valid Florida Freshwater fishing license, some food and drinks for the day, sunscreen, and a hat. JP will take care of all rods, reels, tackle, lures, and you can purchase live bait if it’s available in season. You're more than welcome to bring your own gear if you'd like as well!

Bring your kids or your angling buddies and head out to a fishing adventure to remember!

JP was an absolute treat to go out and fish with. The whole experience from catching fish to listening to JP’s stories and fish expertise was amazing. My son and I will book again with JP, AKA, The BassWhisperer!

JP was an absolute rockstar captain! He put safety first and made sure we had the time of our lives while catching fish left and right. Not only was he a super cool guide, but he also knew everything there was to know about the Everglades. I'm already planning my next Florida trip just so I can book with JP again. He's the man!

Our experience w/ the booking platform was excellent and would be 5 stars. My review for JP would be just 3. He knows fishing at an elite level. We were fairly shocked to hear him share openly and I would say, provocatively in the race & ethnicity space. Although I share the same ethnicity w/ JP, I do not share his derogatory stance toward others.

Each trip's price is determined by the guide and reflects all associated costs. A significant factor in pricing is often the type of boat and the corresponding fuel expenses.
