Lake Okeechobee is a destination that many people have on their bucket list. I have had the privilege of fishing Lake Okeechobee for over 20 years. With its vast and seemingly never ending grass flats and spawning grounds it is the ideal place to catch a giant Florida bass. My expertise and a little bit of luck could put you in position to land your DREAM largemouth bass! Let’s go bassin’!

Capt Papo here. I’ve been an avid fisherman for as long as I could walk. I am eager to share my knowledge with each of you and put you in the correct position to catch a fish of a lifetime. This is my first year as a guide and I am looking to build my business with repeat clients like you! Thanks and see you on the water.

I fished with captain Reinaldo today, had a great time! We fished for crappie, caught Cichlid ( which were delicious), Bass, Bluegill and shell crackers not to mention crappie
Captain Reinaldo is very knowledgeable on lake okeechobee. I would definitely book another trip when I come back to Florida. I’m an avid crappie fisherman he did everything I would have done

Once you've paid your deposit at checkout, we'll send you a QR Code boarding pass. Just show your guide your boarding pass on the day of the trip, they'll scan it, the remaining balance will transfer automatically, and you'll be all set to get out there. Just make sure you bring a cash tip for the guide!

In the event of inclement weather, our guides will check the conditions and make the final call on whether its safe to go on the trip. If they decide the trip needs to be postponed, we'll work closely with you to reschedule or provide a credit for the full deposit, which can be applied to any of our trips in the US and beyond.

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. Additional costs may include leases, marina or slip fees, bait, and the expenses involved in providing and maintaining the necessary gear for your trip.

After booking your trip, we'll connect you directly with your guide to discuss additional details. In the meantime, our team is here to answer any questions via email, text, or phone.
