Make some memories in Florida and go fishing with Forever Phishing. Captain Austin will be your guide, so you'll benefit from 18 years of local experience.

These waters are known for Largemouth Bass, During the trip, you might be spinning, jigging, or maybe something more specialized in this area. Any fish within the legal limit is yours to keep. Captain Austin fishes Lake Okeechobee, headwaters, stick marsh and farm 13

Your boat for the day is a 20' Bass boat with a capacity for 3 passengers. Captain Austin will provide rods and reels, along with lures. Live bait is included, but it's good to ask about this so you know if you'll be catching it yourself. Before coming aboard, you may be required to buy a local fishing license for everyone in your group. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain.

Kids are welcome! They must wear life vests, so find out if the appropriate size is available on board. Don't leave home without snacks, drinks, sunglasses, and sunscreen (non-spray). Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles. Some species may be off-limits or require a special tag, so make sure you know what to expect.

    Best day of fishing I’ve ever had

    Full Day Trip on March 10, 2025

    I’ve taken multiple day trips with different captains on my travels south and Austin is by far the best. We went out and started catching fish right away and it didn’t stop for hours Austin put us on some big ones too. We caught 3 over 5 pounds and one that almost 7 pounds. It was an amazing experience. Don’t let the hair fool you this guy is the real deal. Can’t wait to book again next year.

    Out on the water with Austin

    Half Day Trip on August 18, 2025

    Very friendly and down to earth made the trip an absolute pleasure! Super knowledgeable and patient. Taught me how to use a bait caster reel and how to tie a Palmer knot! So much more too that I will use the rest of my life. From top water poppin to deep water jigging, he knew how to find the fish! Some of the best fishing I’ve done.
