Great trip Fantastic weekend of fishing with Capt. Dave Lauer. My son and I had a great experience and can't wait until our next trip. 
Bucket list Great time - nice boat - Dave was fantastic and very knowledgeable about hot spots in Lake Okeechobee. Will definitely do it again. 
Great guide great experience! Would recommend Captain Dave any time of year. Even when the bite is slow on the lake. Caught decent largemouth even when the bite was slow. Local knowledge and experience can't be beat. Thanks Captain Dave!! We'll be back! 
Annual Bass fishing David Lauer did a great job helping my 85 year old father onto the boat and finding the fish. The Bass online outfit is a top notch above board operation. No cash only policy and no overcharging for bait either like we have experienced in the past with other so called guides.I do think David was steering all the big bass towards my dad! LOL
My dad and I will be back again next year!

Better than expect! Guide was excellent, Dave called prior to my outing to discuss the type of experience I was looking for and he met all of my expectations. Knows the lake and can put you on fish. 
Bass Fishing with Dave Lauer 3 of us fished with Dave Lauer at Lake Okeechobee, met at Slimâs Marina for bait and launched at the boat ramp nearby. We were in the boat leaving the boat ramp at the crack of dawn and we fished all morning and caught a lot of fish. So many, we lost track of the count. Each of us caught at least one bass over 4 lbs, one of us caught one about 5 lbs and all of us caught at least 6-8 bass and several channel catfish. We caught fish nearly non-stop and really didnât have time to eat lunch. Fishing with Dave was like fishing with a family friend, he was comfortable to fish with, funny and he really put us on the fish. Any time Iâm bass fishing near Okeechobee Dave Lauer is the only guy Iâll go with. Heâs a confident pro and knows bass. All of us said his was our best day of fishing- ever. Hereâs one the the biggest bass my son caught. What a day!! 
Awesome day on the water. Dave was extremely knowledgeable and very helpful with putting us in the right spot for the wind and sun conditions. I caught several fish and Dave took awesome pics of the biggest ones. I caught several more than expected. I will definitely do another trip with Dave on my next trip to Florida. 
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. 
1/2 on Lake O Good day on the lake with a knowledge captain, in Captain dave, who put us on fish all day long. We caught a much of Largemouth ranging from 2-6lbs in areas that were perfect for some personal bests. 
Lake OkeeChobee Bass Fishing trip Our Guide Dave (who is also a professional fisherman on the Pro Circuit) put us right on the fish! Within a couple minutes we started to catch some nice bass. If if things were not happening or it became 
Bass fishing lake O Excellent trip on lakeO. Shiner fishing. Guide Capt Dave lauer. My brother and father and I had a great time. Hot weather but very professional guide we all caught fish 
Walt Allison and walter Allison jr. Let me first start off by saying are guide Capt. Dave Lauer was top notch. We booked 3 trips had Dave for all 3 trips. 2 On okeechobee n 1 On lake Osborn. We learned which in hind sight I already knew I should of book the trip in Jan or Feb. but on are first day in the first hr my son caught an 8.2 pound large mouth n I caught an 8 pound even. Plus plenty of 3,4, n 5 pounders. The trip on lake Osborn was slow. Something going on in the lake. Lots of dead fish but we were still able to catch are first peacock bass n first clown knife and a needle fish. Peacock bass fight tremendously. Biggest weighing 5 or 6 pounds. What a great trip. Will definitely use this service again. I personally recommend this out fit. Top notch service. All about our fishing experience n satisfaction. Dave went way above and beyond to make are trip a success. Which I might add it was. If u want to know if Iâm experienced enough as a bass fisherman to make these bold statements about this trip just visit my fb page n look at my pictures of my New Jersey catches. Fishing is one of my passions. I wanted a 10 + pounder but didnât get it but I did get an 8 pounder and I donât know how many people can make that statement. I was told are pics were up on this website but I havenât located them yet. Again I personally recommend this outfit and my experience with Capt. Dave Lauer was to say the least was top notch. If ur planning a trip to fish Florida I implore u to get in touch with this outfit. I will request Capt. Dave Lauer again. Thanks again Dave. U made the trip of a father and son team a trip of a lifetime with memories n fish stories to share for the rest or are lives with are family. Again thank you. 
Bass fishing Excellent trip our guide Dave lauer put us on some good fish even though the condition were bad it was very windy and the water was very murky 
Great day of fishing on Lake Okeechobee Dave Lauer was a great guide for the day. He had us on fish the entire day. Great experience for my son and I. Would highly recommend using him again. 
Fishing with David Lauer I had a great time fishing with Dave. I caught a great deal of fish. Dave kept the day interesting by changing locations, using different baits and is a great guide. Looking forward to going fishing with him again! 
Good times on O Great 3 days of fishing with Dave Lauer. The bite was tough at times but Daveâs experience and skill would get us back on fish when it got slow. Iâll be back 
Lake Okeechobee with Capt Dave Lauer My wife and I did an afternoon charter with Capt Dave Lauer. We had a great time with Dave, this was a first for us fishing with shiners and he helped us with this new experience. We caught bass and also a couple other species like bowfin, gar and catfish that I wasn't expecting. It was a great day of fishing and looking forward to fishing with Capt Dave again. 
Bass fishing with Capt. Dave Dave Lauer was a great guy. Will hire him again. Worked hard, funny, great personality. Got us several bass. 
Excellent time! The crappie fishing was successful. As far as bass fishing, Captain Dave Lauer was above excellent! One of the best fishing guides of the many I have fished with. Had great success and lots of fun! We'd go with Captain Dave anytime! 
Awesome Okeechobee Bass Fishing Fished with Guide Dave Lauer. He got us on fish and we had a blast. Found a good school of fish and caught about 20 fish in 10 minutes! Highly recommend. 
Fished Okeechobee with Dave Lauer Dave is a fastastic guide. This is the second time we fished Okeechobee with him. Both times we caught many Largemouth Bass. All were good size. Several were huge! Dave knows the lake and where the fish are. Heâs also focused on your success and is a nice guy. 
This is why you need a good guide Captain Dave found out very quickly with the cooler weather that day that areas that worked great in prior days were very slow ... so he went to at least 10 different areas before we started to consistently hit good fish. Turned a difficult day into a great day....thx!
