Okeechobee, FL, United States
Based out of the City of Okeechobee, Fish-N-Maniac Bass Charters is your ticket to an unforgettable time exploring Central Florida’s exquisite lakes!
We welcome you aboard; our main priority is to get you on some fish. Why we fish various bodies of water, such as Lake Okeechobee, Lake Garcia, Fellsmere Reservoir/Headwaters, Stickmarsh, Farm 13, and Lake Kenansville. Our office is 5 minutes from the boat ramp, and Okeechobee is my primary lake.
Depending on the specific season and the day’s weather, you can expect to use techniques like spinning or baitcasting while you go after bass and Crappie. Speaking of which, you can choose 4 to 8-hour trips tailored to your specific needs according to the season.
Your fishing adventure starts on a 22-foot boat that can safely take up to four anglers. This boat features a wireless trolling motor. All the necessary fishing gear is included in the price of your trip. You can use it as best you can. Please make sure to buy a valid fishing license ahead of time.
You’re welcome to keep all legal species caught during the trip. The price of your trip also includes complimentary drinks, but you’re welcome to bring your own. Please let the captain know if you have any questions or special requests. This is a children-friendly charter, so you’re welcome to bring your kids on for a fun fishing adventure.
Book your trip now and hit the water with Fish-N-Maniac Bass Charters.

Best work trip getaway!
6 Hour Trip on November 4, 2025 • 3 adults
Captain Paul and Captain Cody took a group of my colleagues (6 total) out on Lake Okeechobee for a two day trip. Our group of six split up between two boats. This allowed us to each have enough room for casting and moving around. We fished in the general vicinity of each other and could see the fish the other group were bringing in which made the experience even better. Everyone on the trip caught multiple fish and had a million laughs. Thank you again Captain Paul and Cody! I highly recommend anyone reading this to book a trip!

Amazing trip with Paul!
6 Hour Trip on June 14, 2025 • 2 adults • 2 children
Thank you Paul! This was the best Father’s Day I’ve ever had, we caught 27 fish! I wanted to take my dad and two sons on a fishing trip for Father’s Day this year and this was perfect. We were so relaxed the whole time, Paul had everything under control and prepped for us. My boys are five and six years old. It was kid friendly, entertaining, very smooth, and we could not have planned a more perfect fishing trip! I highly recommend this to anyone seeking a professional fishing charter. We are very grateful and fortunate that we ended up with Paul and his company for our trip. Thanks again, we look forward to seeing you in the future.

Fishing with Fish N Maniac
4 Hour Trip (PM) on April 27, 2025 • 3 adults
This was the first of what will be an annual fishing trip with my adult sons.
Okachobee was a bucket list fishing trip for us and it was awesome that we knocked it out first!.
Our Captain, Justin, put us on fish immediately and we did slayed it all afternoon.
21 fish between the 2 of us, only my oldest son could make this trip, and my PB. My PB was the last cast of the day as we where about to head back to the launch. Awesome, all I can say is Awesome.
Looking forward to next year with Justin as our Captain again. He is a very personal guy and we felt like we where fishing with one of our buddies all day.
Can't say enough good things about him.
Again, Awesome!

SOUL RENEWING EXPERIENCE
6 Hour Trip on April 7, 2025 • 2 adults
AMAZING, STUPENDUS, TWO OF THE BEST DAYS OF MY LIFE !!! BUCKET LIST ITEM !!! The Legendary Captain Paul could not have been more helpful, patient or accommodating. We had moments of deep belly laughs and moments of solitude just taking in the beautiful sights, sounds and smells of the nature all around us. In two days we caught around 70 fish (that is only counting what made it to the boat). Many five pounders. This is my Husbands 2nd time to fish with the Legendary Captain Paul and his first experience was the same. He is very welcoming and personable and patient. I am a 65 year old woman and while a country girl am a novice fisherman. I never once felt uncomfortable and came away not so much a novice as he takes the time to teach you. We highly recommend Captain Paul based on our 2 experiences fishing with him, Once at Okeechobee this time at High Waters Lake, FL. He is the FISH WHISPERER.......LOL

Grandchildren trip
4 Hour Trip (PM) on June 24, 2025 • 2 adults • 2 children
Hello Fellow Anglers. My grand children 11,16, my grandson's friend 15 and of course, myself had a blast of a time. Capt. Paul instructed the children how to cast and how to reel in the catch when on line, so as not to loose it. My grand daughter 11, caught the first and largest large mouth bass, the boys got excited for her. The boys caught several fish. Fun trip will do it again.
Thank you Capt. Paul Dampier see you next time.
