LAKE OKEECHOBEE

Florida Bass FishingThe Seminole Indian name Okeechobee actually means big water, an appropriate title for the largest freshwater lake in the United States occurring entirely in one state. The lake including its access canals and rim canals is approximately 37 miles long by 30 miles wide (448,000 acres, 700 square miles) with an average depth of almost 10 feet. To fishermen nation wide, Okeechobee is renowned for the sheer numbers of bass it contains per acre and the fact that it produces more Florida trophy bass over 8 pounds than any lake in Florida and the United States!

florida wild shiner bass fishing

LAKE OKEECHOBEE RIM & ACCESS CANAL AREAS
WE GUIDE FISH ON

We primarily guide fish on Lake Okeechobee, the rim canals that surround Lake Okeechobee and the boat ramp access canals that give boaters access to Lake Okeechobee. A client will be fishing either out on Lake Okeechobee or just in the rim canals and/or access canals depending on where the fish have been located or thought to be holding by your guide. Your guide has sole priority over the area chosen to fish which is determined by the fishing conditions, the weather conditions, windy conditions and/or low water conditions which would make fishing out on the big lake not safe and dangerous.

We are presently fishing Okeechobee's boat ramp access canals and rim canals due to the low water conditions on Lake Okeechobee which has moved the fish into Okeechobee's deep water canals.

See the latest fishing reports and photos of bass and panfish caught in the canals.

FISHING WITH SHINERS

Is by far the most productive way to land a Florida trophy bass. The beauty of shiner fishing is that you don't have to be a bass fishing angler of the year to really experience the thrill of fighting trophy size bass. Fishing with shiners is a sure shot method of landing a Florida trophy bass. The going price for shiners is $14.00 per dozen. During the winter months when they become scarce they can cost as much as $18.00 per dozen! A party can expect to use - depending on how good the fish are biting - anywhere from 6 - 8 dozen shiners during a full day of fishing. That's $84.00 - $112.00 per day that you would pay in addition to your guide rate charges. Keep this in mine when you are planing your trip's budget. To take the sting out of this additional expense - which can amount into hundreds of dollars over a period of days - Captain Ron provides his party with 6 dozen shiners in the 2 half day 1 night Special Fishing Package rate free of charge. To sweeten the pot and your budget - FREE LODGING is also provided with our 2 half day fishing buddies package.

FISHING WITH ARTIFICIAL LURES

Is by far the most economical way to bass fish. At $150.00 for a 4 hour half day morning or afternoon of bass fishing for 2 persons or $250.00 for an 8 hour day of bass fishing for 2 persons ($125.00 per person a day) Captain Ron again offers a guide fishing rate a client can afford. A party may also combine some shiner fishing while they are fishing with artificial lures by purchasing a dozen or more shiners if they wish. Likewise, crappie, bluegill and shellcracker fishing can be combined under our artificial bass fishing rate.

WHEN'S THE BEST TIME TO COME?

Is the foremost question I am asked by every angler planning a trophy bass fishing trip to Lake Okeechobee. In the 21 years I have guided on Okeechobee I would honestly have to say that there really isn't a bad time to florida bass fishing, lake okeechobee trophy bass fishing, florida wild shiner fishing, USCG guide servicefish Okeechobee. Take for example the 2 pictures on this page. The first picture a 10 lb. trophy bass was caught using a shiner in October along with 47 other bass that also included an 8 1/4 lb, 7 3/4 lb and a 6 lb'er. The second picture a 7 lb'er and 84 other bass up to 6 lbs were caught on shiners in July. The summer months and early fall months produce good numbers of fish as well as trophy bass. The spawn (November - April) when the fish are bedding is considered to be the better months to catch a trophy Lake Okeechobee bass.
