2 Trips = 10 Stars I booked back to back trips with Bass Online. We fished two different lakes with two different guides but both were very professional. Both provided all of the tackle, bait, and necessary knowledge to have 2 very successful fishing trips. The number of bass we caught and the quality of bass we caught far exceeded my expectations considering we were fishing in late July in FL. I would absolutely use Bass Online again. Thanks for a great experience.

Great guide. Solid service Fished with Larry Crossman. Great guide. Patient, professional and accommodating. Had the ability to slide one day for better weather. No hassles and Larry suggested going earlier next day. This really paid off as fishing was active but only for first 2 hours. We had a blast, learned a lot and recommend Larry highly.

great day of fishing (a little catching) A buddy and I had a great day fishing with Captain Larry on the south end of Lake Okeechobee. The weather was beautiful, the wildlife plentiful, and we caught a few fish. It was very enjoyable and Captain Larry was a knowledgeable guide who worked hard to get us on fish in tough, low water conditions.

Okeechobee Fishing Charter Guides were friendly and knowledgeable, fishing was horrible. October is out of season for Bass which was not noted on the website.

Great day of fishing despite the weather!! We met with our captain on our scheduled day. A massive cold front had moved in dropping the water temps by 10 degrees. The wind was at 20 mph. But Captian Larry Crossman stuck with it and found us some bass. My biggest was a nearly 5 pound largemouth, my biggest ever. I'd go back on this charter in a heartbeat.

Good afternoon of fishing! I got this trip for my husband and son, after Captain Crossman go them to their location it was nothing but continuous reeling in of fish. I was hoping that they at least were able to catch a few, but it was much more than that and, not to mention, the biggest ones they have ever caught! They never moved from that spot, they didn't need to. Since we are not from the area we were not aware of the cost of live bait, we were aware it was additional to the outing but be prepared for an additional $20-24 per dozen. All in all great fishing day!

Great Bass Fishing with Larry Crossman! We had a great time with Larry Cross man as our fishing guide. He gave is lots of tips and insights on how to fish for bass, but also the town of Okeechobee and the lake itself. Had a lot of action until the sun came out and it got hot, but we had a blast. Thanks Larry!

He launches from Okeechobee City ramps, targeting the lake's grass lines, reed heads, and key structure across the Big O's vast shallows.
What species does he target?
Trips specialize in largemouth bass, leveraging the lake's reputation for 6-10 pound fish and high-volume catches.
Why choose Lake Okeechobee with Capt Larry?
The Big O's world-class bass fishery pairs perfectly with his local patterns, offering trophy potential year-round.
When is prime time for his trips?
Fall through spring excels for big bass, but he guides full-time adapting to all seasons.
