March Fishing 2024 Booked two 6hr days fishing with Capt. Galen. 1st day live bait fishing was a relaxing productive day. 2nd day half live half artificial. Just as relaxing and fun as the first day. Had to work a little harder with the artificial, but Capt. Galen put us on fish both days. Had a great time. Capt. Galen is as knowledgeable, personable and friendly as you could want out of a guide.

Lake Okeechobee bass vs Captain Galen Today was a great day on world famous Lake Okeechobee. Fish were plentiful and so were the stories. Captain Galen Fugh was a great guide and outstanding “Wang” man! It was a day for checking off something on our bucket list and making memories. We highly recommend you let them hook you up with some bug bass!

outstanding -love it so much Been fishing with Capt Galen for 2 years and value each trip we get together. Forty to sixty fish days are not uncommon. Its like being with an old friend-one that takes you on your best day fishing you've had all year. Then you go the next day and its even BETTER! Galen represents his trade with integrity and devotion. He shows up to work and is prepared with the knowledge of where the fish are. You can hem and haw about which guide to choose or what price to pay but I'm on the phone with him right now booking my next trip.

Fun 1/2 day with Captain Galen My 13-year old son and I had a great time with Captain Galen. The bass were being picky but we were still able to bring a few onto the boat along with some other fish. I highly recommend Captain Galen if you are looking for a knowledgeable and fun guide.

Highly recommend BassOnline! Captain Galen went above and beyond for us. Not only did he put my wife and I on bass ALL day, he had an amazing personality. Fishing with him was like fishing with a lifelong friend. We all spent the day joking, sharing stories, and catching fish. We had very tough fishing conditions for our outing, but his knowledge ensured we caught a lot of fish. Book your Okeechobee trip with BassOnline and request Captain Galen Fugh.

Very knowledgeable Even though it was cold and windy, Capt Galen Fugh helped my brother and me catch a total of 31 bass in one day! We each caught a bass over 6 lbs (huge for where we come from). Capt Galen Fugh was professional, fun, and great company. We definitely hope to hire him again. Thanks for a great trip!

Our first time on the BIG O Captain Galen Fugh took me, my brother and uncle out on a split day and was it ever a good time. He had us on the fish in the first 30 minutes and we were catching them all day. The bite may have slowed a little in the afternoon but the fun was all day long. The mid day lunch break was a perfect way to load up on some good food and drinks before we got back at it. Galen even took the time to get us up close and personal with some huge gators. The only down side was when my brother hooked a snake and almost brought it in the boat. I was ready to jump in with the fish. LOL! Can't say enough about how much fun we had and how worth it it was to have such a quality guide like Galen. I highly suggest giving these guys a call for your next trip down.

First time on the Okeechobee Being from NY, I didn't want to waste time trying to figure out such a huge body of water. Back in February Galen Fugh took care of that by putting us, my brother and Uncle were also on the boat, on the bass all day long. We did the split day and caught fish in the morning. We enjoyed a nice lunch at the marina to fuel up for the afternoon and went right back to it. The afternoon proved to be just as much fun. If you only have a small window of time, Galen is the man you want taking you out. We can't say enough about how friendly and helpful he was. I will be giving him another call next time we head down so we can enjoy another day on the water.

Weather Rules Tough day of fishing after a front roles through. Leftover wind mad it difficult to fish what would generally be better fishing locations. Galen did his best to make it a good day. We had already rescheduled to Wednesday due to the front/all day rain on Tuesday. Disappointed my son, who was on college spring break, didn't get to experience the great fishing that Okeechobee is known for.

Both were very knowledgeable and professional. They put us on the fish both days and we caught a bunch! Look forward to next year with both of these guys
