Bass Flats & Beyond operates around Southeast Florida, getting groups onto that fish of a lifetime in a staggering range of habitats. Our Captains are skilled at catching many types of fish, including largemouth, peacock, snakehead, and clown knifefish. This trip gives you the chance to catch all in one day!

We will start our day out on Lake Okeechobee, where we will be battling huge largemouth bass in the Belle Glade area. This is some of the best Bass action in the state, and you couldn't pick a more beautiful place to do it.

We load up the boat around 10 am or 11 am, travel east to Lake Osborne, and start fishing again for the hard-fighting peacock bass and Clown knifefish. It's a long and full day full of different action!

It will be designed specifically for your desired fishing style, which is enough to have a great day even without fishing! The vessel also has plenty of fishing space, electronics, stereo, and 3 livewells to keep your bait fresh and fighting fit.

Bass Flats & Beyond specializes in successful trips. You will be supplied with tournament-grade conventional tackle and can bring your favorite fly gear along, too. You will also have a range of lures to choose from and provide live bait for a small surcharge.

Just pack your fishing license, polarized sunglasses, sunscreen, camera, and any food and drink you want for the day, and you're good to go.

This trip is precisely what makes Florida Bass fishing so good. A seasoned, passionate captain with a great boat, multi-species, and a can-do attitude. Oh, and some incredible fishing teeming with great fish!

Great Captain, Good Day
6 Hour Trip - Bass Fishing on March 3, 20262 adults
I'm probably a tough grader. My day on Okeechobee with John Larsen was great! John is a fine fisherman and a pleasure to spend time with. He knows the lake and kept us safely and comfortably out of the high winds and roughest water all day. Between the two of us, we landed about 10 mid-size bass over 6 hours on the water, all on artifical lures. Ideally, we would have been on the fish more and had a more productive day, but I don't blame John for this. I will definitely hire John on my next trip to Okeechobee (if I can -- he's pretty heavily booked up) and would highly recommend him to anyone who takes their fishing seriously.

Thank you for taking the time to provide this feedback and leaving this recommendation. I wish every day could be a big number of catches, and all big fish, it just does not happen like that. We worked hard, especially with artificial lures to get on them and the biggest ones possible. I am glad you had a great time and look forward to fishing with you again in the future. Till next time!

Legendary Fishing Experience !!!
Split Day - 10 Hour Trip on March 20, 20253 adults
Words cannot describe how amazing our ten hour fishing trip was with captain Justin ! We caught close to 30 fish. We caught big, healthy, aggressive largemouth bass. We also caught a few other species as well. Many personal best catches were landed on this trip thanks to captain Justin. He was a funny, cool, helpful guide. The best bass was 8.5lbs, it was a big one ! Many others were 5-6lbs. I would highly recommend getting live bait.

Hey Christopher, thanks for the incredible review! We're pumped Captain Justin delivered an unforgettable 10-hour trip packed with big bass, personal bests, and nonstop action. That 8.5-pounder is a beast! We appreciate your support and are glad you had such a blast—live bait for the win!

Great Captain and amazing day of fishing
8 Hour Trip - Bass Fishing on April 15, 20252 adults
We had a fantastic guided trip on the Everglades with Captain John. Me and my friend caught over 60 fish including largemouth bass, cichlids, peacocks & Oscars. John knew all the spots, what to use, and gave us tons of tips, #1 being don't shake a bloody fish over the edge of the boat with alligators around! You will see lots of gators but you don't have to worry at all. They swim away from the boats. If I ever make it back down to South Florida, I will be using his services again!

6 Hour Trip - Bass Fishing on January 18, 20262 adults
Capt Mark did his best to put us on fish after the cold front came through. Only caught a couple but not from lack of trying. Mark was very knowledgeable and pulled out all the stops to try and make it a good day.
