Our expectations of this special day with our 10 year old grandson was exceeded by how many peacock bass we caught (catching even one was a bucket list item!), the great weather, and especially the friendliness & patience of Captain John! We learned so much and had fun while doing it! Can’t wait to come back!
I'm probably a tough grader. My day on Okeechobee with John Larsen was great! John is a fine fisherman and a pleasure to spend time with. He knows the lake and kept us safely and comfortably out of the high winds and roughest water all day. Between the two of us, we landed about 10 mid-size bass over 6 hours on the water, all on artifical lures. Ideally, we would have been on the fish more and had a more productive day, but I don't blame John for this. I will definitely hire John on my next trip to Okeechobee (if I can -- he's pretty heavily booked up) and would highly recommend him to anyone who takes their fishing seriously.
Thank you for taking the time to provide this feedback and leaving this recommendation. I wish every day could be a big number of catches, and all big fish, it just does not happen like that. We worked hard, especially with artificial lures to get on them and the biggest ones possible. I am glad you had a great time and look forward to fishing with you again in the future. Till next time!
We had a great time. Trip got cut a little short because of weather; but our giude Justin, was on it and got us on to some nice bass. we had a great time and would definitely go out on the water with Justin again.
Captain John knows what hes doing. He got us on fish right away even in super windy weather! We only had a couple hours to fish because of the weather and it felt like we were bring bass in the boat non stop. Captain John has a wealth of knowledge that even experienced anglers can learn from. Highly recommend!
Thank you for fishing with us on Lake Okeechobee and down in the Everglades! Our goal is to make every trip memorable, and we’re glad to hear we delivered. Come back and see us again anytime Justin!
Capt Mark did his best to put us on fish after the cold front came through. Only caught a couple but not from lack of trying. Mark was very knowledgeable and pulled out all the stops to try and make it a good day.
Thanks Tom for this great review. Looking forward to our next trip on the water when it gets warmer.
