Great Place and Lake

“
This place is a well hidden secret. A huge variety of fish, birds, bunnies and not to forget big bass and lots of alligators in every size can be seen. No fences in their natural habitat.”

Great trip with Capt. Ken
★★★★★

From booking to meeting at the dock, everything was smooth and professional. Capt. Ken is very personable and his knowledge of Rodman made for a perfect day. We had a day of catching a plethora of good size fish as well as great conversation. Thank you Capt. Ken for the great day and I look forward to doing it again in the future!”

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.”

First time in the sunshine state of Forida.Caught a 5LBer along with 50+ other bass that were over a pound. Justin put us on the bass and many of them. If you are considering booking, do it!!! Super kind to lend us his own personal baits to catch bass. Got some variety with some catfish aswell. Captian Justin had a wide variety of spinning and bait casting poles to use. Great tour”

Fishing with Mark Shepard was a truly satisfying experience. We had tough windy condition and still managed to boat 12 bass. Mark was willing to answer any question I threw at him. A true professional. I would highly recommend him to anyone who wants to catch some Largemouth Bass in Lake Okeechobee. My biggest was 6.75lbs. Sorry, pictures are on my phone.”

Super Captain Michael is Perfect
★★★★★
“
The trip was amazing, Super Captain Michael got all the bait we needed on short notice. He knew all the good places on the lake with beautiful views. He was Incredibly sociable and nice to talk to, made the slower moments of the trip a blast with fun conversation. The boat was a beautiful well kept vessel and he even had amazing equipment. 10/10 would absolutely book again, and request another charter from Super Captain Michael when I'm back in Florida.”

Lake Henderson
★★☆☆☆
“
I think the problem with the lake is the weed removal boat needs to go down deeper and have some gravel or sand for the bass to be able to spawn you got 6 feet of weeds on the bottom it’s choking. The lake weeds are good to appoint, but the fish have to be able to make a bed.”

We had a great day on Okeechobee with Captain Justin. We threw artificials in the morning and afternoon. When the fishing hit a lull midday Captain Justin took us to a little honey hole where we hammered them with shiners. Captain Justin took great care of us all day and was just a helluva nice guy to fish with. Highly recommend a day on the lake him!!”

“
Enjoyed fishing with Paul today. Bud & I fished 6 hrs with Paul today at Headwaters. 27 fish on a day after a cold front with bluebird skies and a cold north wind. Not ideal conditions. An excellent day. Very knowledgeable about fishing conditions, lake history and the bite. Good equipment, safe boat handling skills and a steward of others, a respect for a very valuable resource - the lake itself. Hire Paul for your next trip.”

Great Guide
★★★★★
“
I suspect one of Brad’s stranger charters, but left me hoping to fish with him again. Our full day we already expected to be shortened by weather and that was confirmed when for the first time in my 80 years, I fell in the lake. Balance goes downhill as we age apparently and due to Ranger’s and Mercury’s dedication to streamlining, not much to grab onto as you go into the water. As a dedicated fisherman I hung onto the rod and reel and always looking for information about L. Apopka. one of Brad’s first questions was: “What’s the bottom like?”. I reported firm and Sandy. The purpose of our trip was partly due to Brad being a native Minnesotan, who my 17 yr old grandson and I were familiar with from his tournament record back home. After spending 8 hours killing $125 worth of Golden Shiners the previous day on Rodman Reservoir (4 bass) we were enormously relieved when he told us first thing that we would NOT be fishing live bait. He provides a great boat and great equipment and is very personable everything you want ifor a great experience on the water. I highly recommend Capt Brad Leiferman”

Excellent Guide
★★★★★
“
It was a cool wet day with Scott on Rodman. He did a great job keeping us in fresh bait and searching for fish. Being capable of good conversation is vital on days like this Scott had plenty of info on the history and makeup of Rodman. There weren’t many bass for us but some “quality” gar and mudfish (Bowfin/ Dogfish) kept us alert. Warning: Be prepared for sticker shock at the end of your day. We added $125 to our bill for live bait. I recommend Capt Scott if you are looking for a chance to catch a trophy on Rodman Res..”

Booked a trip with captain Richard Hernandez and had an amazing day. I've been a captain myself for 35 plus years so I expect certain things out of a captain. Rick did not disappoint, explained what we'd be doing and was very personable. We caught a pile of Peacock, a couple of largemouth and my buddy was lucky enough to land a Clown Knife fish. Would highly recommend Captain Rick to anyone looking for a Florida adventure.”
