Make an adventure out of your next trip in Okeechobee and go fishing with Matt W Fishing Guide Service.

Depending on the season, you will hook into Largemouth Bass, Peacock Bass, and whatever else is biting. You can expect to do some spinning, or maybe something more specialized in this area.

If you’re traveling with the family, you will be glad to know that kids are welcome aboard! If you don’t have a child-sized life vest of your own, be sure to ask if there’s one on board. Also remember to bring snacks so that nobody gets cranky on an empty belly!

Capt. Matt runs a 20’ Bass Cat Eyra bass boat with capacity for 3 passengers. It has all the essentials. Rods, reels, and tackle are covered by the charter, as well as lures.

You will need to purchase a local fishing license before the trip. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain. Some species might be protected or require a tag to keep them, so make sure you know what to expect.

Some essentials to bring are sunglasses, sunscreen (non-spray), bottled water, and a hat. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but try to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Go ahead and treat yourself to a day on the water with Matt W Fishing Guide Service.
