Fishing Trip - Capt Mark Rogers
★★★★★
“
Capt Mark and I fished Lake Okeechobee on July 25th. Yes, it was hot. Yes, it was off season for fishing in Florida. Yes, I had a great time and a very successful fishing trip. Mark did a great job of keeping me in great water all day. He provided the tackle/baits that were needed. He had tons of knowledge about the lake and the fishing techniques. Even in the heat of July, I still caught plenty of fish including a 6+ lb. Largemouth Bass. Thanks for a great time!”

I fished with Captain Rob Alfano on probably one of the toughest days of the year thanks to a cold front. He was an excellent guide and put me on fish despite the cold. Felt like fishing with an old buddy!”

Fantastic Fishing Day!
★★★★★
“
Had a great day fishing Lake Okeechobee with Captain Mark Rose. He put us on a hot spot and we caught a tonne of fish all day! I think between the two of us, we caught 40-50 fish, including a 9.4 lb whopper! We also missed landing at least another 15-20 fish...it was incredible!”

Good Time
★★★★★
“
Booked a fishing trip to celebrate my father and son’s birthday. The booking process was easy and they were able to accommodate 4 people which is not easy on a bass boat and and worked with our needs. The captain was knowledgeable, friendly and tried his best to make sure we had the best experience. Although the fish weren’t biting as much as we hoped, 17 in 4.5 hours kept us happy. I would strongly recommend Captain George!”

Great Okeechobee Bass Fishing Trip
★★★★★
“
We visited during late July/early August, which as we learned is also the toughest fishing of the year on Okeechobee due to the heat. In spite of the tough conditions, our guides Mark & Dave were able to put both boats onto great fish. We caught in excess of 30 bass, and were even able to land one over 5lbs! Incredible trip, great service, knowledgeable guides, great gear and boats.”

Challenging but rewarding
★★★★★
“
Captain Mark Shepard was great, he knew I preferred to fish artificial baits, and equipped with that information, he navigated us into the grass where the morning bite was good. When that began to taper, he was quick to move our location in an attempt to find the fish amidst the glaring mid day sun. He was a great source of knowledge and had no qualms about sharing it (I asked A LOT of questions). To wrap up the day, we spent the last hour or so winding down fishing shiners, while being accompanied by a family of Manatees, who seemed to be intrigued by our presence, as they were within inches of the boat at times. The day climaxed when I landed a monster 7.5 pounder! I will not hesitate to book with Mark again in the future.”

Capt Rob Alfano
★★★★★
“
I went out with Captain Rob again on Monday Jan 29th and had a great day on the lake. I am a return customer and really can't say enough great things about this guide. He is just so professional and will put you on the fish every time. The weather changes this time of year make it challenging but his expert ability to move around the lake and find the fish is awesome. I really enjoy being out with him and catching big fish. He is a lot of fun and makes the trip fun. I can't wait to get out with him again soon. Thanks Captain Rob!!! Your The Best!!”

My wife booked a trip for her Father and myself for his birthday. Capt Mark was fantastic! Even though the weather has been cold, he found the bass! He was extremely knowledgeable about his job and very passionate. He made sure we had the best possible time, and directed us as to what would end up being a great fishing day for bass! We have never caught so many in one day! It was awesome, and we look forward to returning next year to fish with Capt Mark Shepard!”

Mark Rose, best time ever
★★★★★
“
Hands down Mark Rose will put you on the fish! I was sceptical at first, but I'm telling you if your not sure about the water you're fishing, you need to book Mark Rose! Very nice, easy going guy, and help's you every which way he can! Not his fault but I missed some "Monster Bass!" He says, cast over there and get ready! Bam! I wasn't ready...Lol But we caught a ton of bass and had the best time!! I can't wait to book with Mark Rose again!”

I've been fishing with bass online guides for the past 10 years or so. Every guide I've worked with has been great. My particular favourite is Captain Mark Sheppard -- He always puts me over fish and even on tough days its a pleasure working the water with him. a true gentleman and sportsman!”

Awesome trip
★★★★★
“
I booked a last minute trip with Capt. Mark Shepard. It turned out to be a great day on the water as i caught a bass on my first cast and on one of my last casts. I lost count of how many bass were caught but it had to be over 30. I learned a lot by fishing with Mark and he is quite knowledgeable regarding how to put fish in the boat. I would definitely charter with him again. Thanks for a great experience.”

What a Wonderful Day!
★★★★★
“
I'm not a fisherman so I didn't know what to expect, but Mark Rose made the day wonderful! I caught a fish within 5 minutes and I learned a lot. It was low stress and completely enjoyable. Mark managed to make it just challenging enough for very different skill levels. My husband, who loves to fish, is thrilled because I'm excited to go again! Thanks Mark Rose!!”

Fishing with Capt. Mark Shepard
★★★★★
“
My fishing buddy and i were fortunate to get to fish with Capt. Mark Shepard on March 4 on Okeechobee. Okeechobee has been on my bucket list. It was a windy day and Capt. Shepard had told us the day before that it might be a tough bite. We were able to catch 20 bass despite the windy conditions and had a very enjoyable day of fishing with Capt. Shepard. Thanks a bunch!!! Look forward to fishing with him again 🙂 🙂”

Captain Rob Alfano
★★★★★
“
This was my second trip to Okeechobee this month. We spent the first full day and the 1/2 day fishing out of Clewiston. It was good fishing we caught some nice 4 pounders and a lot of 2-3 pounders. The last day (after a front moved trough) we fished out of Okeechobee. We caught several 4 to 4-1/2 pounders and a 7 pounder. we boated 50 bass the last day even having to go back and get more shiners. This trip was so much fun and Captain Rob is the BEST!!! He really worked with us on the weather changing and put us on a ton of great fish. If you want to have a great time with a real Pro just book Captain Rob Alfano and you can't go wrong. I look forward to booking another trip with him. Thanks Bass Online and Captain Rob!!!”

An awesome guide
★★★★★
“
I have been bass fishing for 40 years. When I am on vacation near a lake I often hire a guide to go bass fishing. The best guide I have ever met is Captain Mark Shepard. He knows lake Okeechobee like it was his backyard. He turns on his magic and we go catch bass. The biggest bass of my life, an 11.3 pounder was on a trip with Mark. One time he found a huge school. I caught 100 bass in an hour. My arms got so tired I had to stop fishing. When the conditions are bad and no one is catching anything, Mark can always find some catchable fish. If you're looking for the best possible day of fishing call Bass Online”

Have been fishing with Mark for a number of years. Each time the experience is top notch. He always puts us on fish and will do anything to make sure you catch them. He is a true professional and gentleman. I could not imagine fishing Lake O without him. He's a great talker also and loves to talk about life. Truly, a 5-star guy and experience always”

Best Bass Fishing EVER!
★★★★★
“
The day my husband & I shared with Capt. Mark Shepard was incredible. It started with a glorious sunrise and continued with us catching bass all morning! Of course having a great day means having great Captain. Upon arrival, Mark was ready with the boat & equipment, so we didn't miss a minute of precious fishing time. He took excellent care of us & spent extra time with me (I'm a novice). The result? I caught a 6 pound bass! I highly recommend Capt. Mark Shepard. You will have a fishing experience to remember for years!”

Two friends and I contacted Bass Online and chartered a boat and fishing guide to take us Bass fishing on Lake Okeechobee. The guide we had was Mark Shepard. He was as good as they come. Besides taking us to the perfect spot (my friends and I must have cost at least 50 bass) he was both courteous and professional. We could not have asked for anything more that what was given to us.”

Dream come true
★★★★★
“
Fishing Lake Okeechobee for giant largemouth bass has been a bucket list item of mine for a long time. Our guide Mark Shepard, was very honest and realistic of slow fishing conditions but gave us his very best effort and put me on an Okeechobee giant. It was a dream come true for me. We will be back in December.”
