Okeechobee Bass Charters by Fish-N-Maniac

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.
