Lake Okeechobee is nicknamed “The Bass Capital of The World” for good reason, there is no other lake that holds as many fish over 5 lbs as Lake Okeechobee does. This is evident with over 80% of the guide trips catching fish that exceed the 5 lb mark, these trips include novice to highly skilled…
What a great day I had getting to fish with Gary and Peter from London for their first ever trip to Lake Okeechobee. The weather made it a little tough with wind gust over 30 mph, however, we managed to catch 25 fish in 6 hours with several fish being huge (just ask Gary as…
Lake Okeechobee has really been fishing well as of late, although the wind has been fairly strong some days we have still managed to catch fish in almost every area of the lake. We have fished from Henry Creek all the way around the north end down to the west corner at Harney Pond. The…
I always love trips that are with young anglers especially when the trip is on a birthday. Jeff Shuman brought his son Johnathon to Lake Okeechobee for his 13th birthday. This was the first trip to Lake Okeechobee for both Jeff and Johanthon and Lake Okeechobee reputation lived up to it’s name, as Johnathon said…
As the first cold fronts of the year roll through Lake Okeechobee the water is starting to cool off and the big fish are really becoming active.

The last few weeks here on Lake Okeechobee the fishing has been good for the numbers game with most 4 hour trips catching well over 20 fish. The story to pay attention to is the number of big fish being caught, in my personal opinion I had no idea that the begging of October would…
It’s like clock work, everytime the nights get a little cooler the fish become more active and the recent trips have enjoyed some great catches. Lake Okeechobee is really just starting to heat up with big fish crushing top water. It’s hard to beat a giant Lake Okeechobee bass coming out of the water to…
Richie and Kyle from New Jersey fished with me on August 30, 2013. We had a great trip and I am sure Kyle is still bragging about catching a big Lake Okeechobee bass. The day started off with some artificial action and wouldn’t you know it Kyle caught the biggest fish of the day just…
David from Florida fished with Captain Angie on 08/27/13 and found some great success here on Lake Okeechobee. David fished artificial lures only with one of the best artificial guides on Lake Okeechobee. Check out the picture below of the biggest bass of the day, a solid 6 lb Lake Okeechobee largemouth. Lake Okeechobee is…
Lake Okeechobee is fishing just about the same way it has for the past few months with one exception, more big fish. During the summer the fish feed the heaviest during the coolest parts of the day which is at first light and last light. The morning bite continues to be really good for the…
