Captain Steve took great care of us.
★★★★★
“ Hope you get the chance to go out with Captain Steve. He was very knowledgeable and possessed respect and care for the fish we caught. Highly recommend him. If you want to have a good time and catch fish in a beautiful resource with a professional guide, he's the man. He was terrific with my teenagers and they will cherish the memories forever. My son caught a huge PB Bass! Dave B. from Silver Spring, MD.”

Bass galore

“ I am new to bass fishing, we live just down the street from the lake. My daughter and I go out in a small john boat 2-3 times a week for an hour or so. A slow day is 1 fish each. Often we land 3 or 4 good sized bass at sunset. Lots of fun.”

Great Fishing Experience
★★★★★
“ Me and a high school buddy of mine booked a two-day 6 hours each day cruise with Captain Justin April 1 & 2. We were both very happy with his personal service and his modern and well-maintained fishing equipment. On the first day he took us to a place where the bass fishing was exceptional. I'm guessing we caught somewhere between 30-40 bass - the biggest being a 24-inch 7 1/2-pound lunker. On the second day the winds were blowing too hard to go out on the open lake, but he took us to a sheltered place where the fishing was almost as good as the previous day. I want to say that I am a handicapped person with serious sciolous in my lower back. Captain Justin went out of his way to make sure I was comfortable and safe while travelling, boarding and exiting the boat. Captain Justin is personable and professional guide, and I would highly recommend you trust him to make your fishing date on Lake Okeechobee a memorable one.”

“ We have booked a bass trip every year with Mark Rose either in Florida or Erie,Pa. For 10 years. Nobody works harder to help us catch our limit than Mark. He has an amazing ability to find & target bass. He is so thrilled when we land a bass. He is intense & loves what he does. We look forward to getting together.”

“ Took my 20 and 17 year old daughter and son out with Capt Steve. We wanted to fish artificial only, and he was very accommodating. Didn't get my double digit but he tried his butt off to get us on some fish using artificial only. Thanks Capt Steve. Would definitely recommend!!!!!”

Captain Mark Shepard
★★★★★
“ True Professional! That is what you’re getting when Capt Shepard takes you fishing. What a pleasure we had taking my 11 yr old grandson on a birthday bass fishing trip. The patience and knowledge Capt Shepard shared with my grandson after just a 4hr trip will stay with him for his lifetime of fishing. After 4 hrs of difficult fishing conditions but still managing some nice fights, Capt Mark said he wanted to extend our trip an additional hour to give my grandson a chance to catch a trophy fish. What a kind offer and WHAT A GREAT CALL! My grandson was able to cap off his birthday by catching a quality lake O largemouth that dragged him in and out of the weeds and had the whole boat yelling with excitement. Just a fantastic time! Be sure to hook up with Capt Mark Shepard.”

★★★★★
“ Did a afternoon trip with Mark Rose today, we got right on the fish, caught 20+ in a short afternoon session, had a chance at something huge, but missed it. It was a great time, and I learned a lot. Mark is a very patient Charter Captain, and the boat is very comfortable. All in all it was a great experience that I can't wait to repeat.”

Flukin' in the grass
★★★★★
“ My son and I had a great trip with Captain Mark. He fit Us in on short notice when another guy had equipment problems. He taught us to fish a fluke on straight braid in the sawgrass. It was really fun yanking bass out of the grass. We had an awesome time throwing flukes in the grass.”

“ We came and accomplished what we came to do. Repeat customer and once again Captain Steve crushed it. The man knows his stuff and is a pleasure to fish with. Low key and steady, well until I hooked into my 9# 5oz monster. He was just as excited as I was. We boated many 3-6 pound bass, action throughout the day. Between last year and this we boated 82 fish. See ya next year Steve.”

February 5, 2025 - Family Fishing
★★★★★
“ Our family joined Mark on Lake Okeechobee this February 2025. Mark was amazing! He kept in touch with my husband as our fishing date approached to determine the best fishing spot for our visit. He was very knowledgeable of the area and very friendly to us and our three boys. His boat was so clean, his passion for the sport, and respect for nature shined through with each minute we were on his boat. We latched on to our first bass within 30 seconds of the first line hitting the water. All 5 of us were able to catch bass on our trip. Mark took and shared pictures with us as well. We are so grateful to have gotten to work with Mark and are excited to go again with him in the future! Thanks, Mark!”
