Matt W Fishing Guide Service
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.

Half Day Trip on Lake Okeechobee on December 24, 2024
Great trip, caught nice bass. Little bit of sticker shock on the bait. Captain has nothing to do with setting the price on the bait but wow. Boat was clean and in very good condition would recommend this crew highly!

I did a 3 hour trip with a friend and we wanted to target Peacock Bass. Matt put us on the Peacock Bass minutes after getting in the boat. We pulled in fish the entire time. Great boat, Great guidance, And Great Vibes.

3/4 Day – Lake Okeechobee on July 21, 2024
We met Matt at the ramp on time, ready to go. He provided all gear we would need for the day, with an option to bring our own if we wanted. We took off within minutes and after a short ride we were at the first spot. He explained what we should be looking for and where we should be casting. I had the first fish within a couple minutes. Another quick bite after that and then that bite died off. It was hot and the fishing was tough but Matt didn’t quit. He worked hard to find us fish, and he did just that. Matt had us trying all techniques to catch em, from moving baits, dragging worms, top water and even punched a few mats! We ended the day with multiple catches for each of us. And a bit of a mixed bag with my first bowfin and a couple hybrid stripers to top it off. Matt was awesome, well organized, and had a plan for the day. I plan on booking him for future trips. If you want to catch fish, in some of the toughest conditions, he’s your guy! Already looking forward to the next trip!
