Thank you! We had the most WONDERFUL time on the water today with Dawson! Dawson spent time with us individually and as a group showing us where to fish, giving us pointers on bait and how to present it to the native species in and around the canals. The day flew by, we caught lots of fish, and it was just one of those days that’s a core memory for me and the family. Thank you so very much. See you next year. David

Captain Bio
CAPT DAWSON BIO
Capt Dawson Wisner is 25 years old and lives in Okeechobee, Florida. I grew up in Westminster, Maryland, pond hopping and fishing from the bank at our local reservoirs until I turned 18 and joined the U.S. Army. The Army shipped me to Colorado, and that is where I discovered my passion for tournament bass fishing.
Once I was honorably discharged, I moved to the banks of the St. John’s River to begin my fishing career. My passion for fishing has allowed me to hold positions as a retail associate in the tackle industry and also become a captain.
Dawson teaches beginners to hook into their first trophy and the more experienced anglers to get their PBs, something to look forward to. He enjoys all levels of techniques and is well-versed in artificial lure trips, livebait trips, or a combination of both, as long as the experience is fun and memorable.
He can take you to explore the diverse fisheries on one of these lakes: Lake Okeechobee, Headwaters, or others. So hit me up, and let’s go fishing!
