Clewiston, FL

great value for money! We did the four-hour trip, which is done with Bass Online Fishing Guides. This is perfect for families, as the skill required is minimal. The team was friendly and helped out, and thanks a lot, Captain DJ. Everyone got at least one largemouth bass, and the view of Lake Okeechobee is stunning.

Lovely time with DJ Really we had a fantastic time. The captain DJ was honest, friendly, and professional, and we felt supported from when we started the fishing. We booked 6hr trip and caught large Largemouth bass.Would encourage anyone to try it, a truly enjoyable fishing day out.

2025 Lake trip My friend Mark and I had another great couple days fishing with Captain Mark. Mark knows exactly what what the fish are doing and the tactics to catch them. I can't say enough about his ability to put you on fish. My friend and I both caught our personal best largemouth this year. This is our 7th year fishing with Captain Mark. We are already looking forward to the next trip

Great day on Okeechobee We had a great day with Captain Mark fishing top water and caught more large mouth than we expected! Thank you bass online for a great experience!

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.

Captain Mark Shepard Caption Shepard worked hard on a very windy day and a bad moon and still put us on quality fish, caught some real nice fish in the 5-7 pound range in some poor conditions. Will definitely use Mark again under better conditions. Appreciate it Captain!

Mark Shepard We enjoyed our time greatly! Thank you Mark for making our fishing experience a wonderful time!

Mark Rose We enjoyed our time greatly! Thank you Mark for making our fishing experience a wonderful time!

Captain Mark Thanks Bassonline for getting us paired up with Mark! -We had Mark as our guide / captain all weekend….. was a great experience! Marks large boat made it nice for the 4 of to spread out and get lots of opportunities on fish! Thanks Captain Mark!

Fantastic time! We had a great day fishing with Mark! He knew all the great spots to do some catching!

Mark is the man Mark will find fish even on a slow day.Great guide but an even better teacher.On our trip I was exposed to different techniques and learned and really improved a lot. He is friendly and it is like going out fishing with a friend.Already planning my next trip

Mark took me and my buddy Bobby out today on lake Okechobee. Unbelievable trip, he put us on fish immediately, kept us on them for 8 hours. I caught my pb 8.1 lbs then caught a 6.4 lber as well. Very knowledgeable and great captain. We will definitely be back again.

A day with Mark Rose Had a great day fishing with Mark Rose. People were saying the lake was slow, but we caught non-stop. I learned a bunch and had a great time. I definitely will use him again

Mark does it again I have fished with Mark probably 10 times.. Recently, Dec.13,14 and 15 ,,2024, I had the wonderful opportunity (again) of. fishing with Mark. He consistently found great fish for us ( including three 8 lb. Bass) The three day total was over 75 fish with many 7. ,6, and 5 pounders. Mark is patient and a great teacher..I absolutlely recommend him for a great Okeechobee fishing experience. Bob Ziegler

Fish with Mark! Mark will put you on the fish! We caught so many large mouth I lost count. He is a great guide and we had a wonderful day. I can’t recommend him strongly enough! I’ve gone fishing with him twice now I and it won’t be the last!

Good times My son and I came down from Maryland and fished with Captain Mark. We had a great time fishing and learning so many things from Mark. He is an extremely knowledgeable fisherman and one of the nicest people you will ever meet. We look forward to coming back to do it again.

6 hours of great bass fishing!!!!! 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.

Okeechobee bass fishing Had a great time on Lake Okeechobee today. Mark put us on the bass even under the hammer sh conditions. It was a great trip. I would definitely recommend you book a trip with Mark.

Bass charter Had a really good trip. Caught a 7 pounder which really made the trip. Guide was very attentive and positive throughout the whole 6- hour trip.

Great Day Fishing What a great day fishing! Captain Mark started out the trip teaching us to use top water poppers; and we killed it! Then we fished using shiners and had good luck with those Overall we had a awesome day of fishing!

Beautiful day out Second time out with Mark great guy! Very unusual January weather. Went in am we caught 7 bass 2-6# missed a few. Fish not biting for pretty much everyone that day. Was with Mark in January before caught over 30 with 1-10#. Will be going out again would definitely recommend.

Great experience Lake Okeechobee - Clewiston - 4 hr Trip

True Pro Two day trip with Mark. The conditions ranged from cold, rainy and windy to beautiful. Regardless, Mark put us in position to catch fish. That included a 9 lbs largemouth. Helpful, positive, and a true professional. Thank you Mark!

A day fishing Lake Okeechobee On Tuesday, May 9, 2023, Jim Robertson and I fished on Lake Okeechobee with Mark Shepard as our guide. We caught 31 large mouth bass, most in the 3-4 lb range. Mark's knowledge of the lake is exceptional. He is patient and a gentleman at all times. You can take your friends and family fishing with Mark and be assured of a terrific experience.

definitely book a trip Mark put me on fish immediately (caught around 40), the boat was state of the art and the conversation was good. We will definitely book a trip with Mark in the near future.

Beast Mode! Been fishing with Mark a few times over the years, he always puts us on fish, went out today and caught a 7lb 14oz beast! What an experience, Very knowledgeable and a good guy. See you soon! Thanks

Captain Mark Great customer service and Captain Mark Shepard was outstanding and put us on some HAWGS!

Clewiston Fishing Capt. Mark Rose put us on some fish on a very tough day to fish. 52° and windy. My brother caught his personal best bass! I will definitely recommend Capt. Mark Rose and will be going again in the future!

Two fabulous days Thoroughly enjoyed our two days with Captain Mark. We were both total novices with bass. We used artificial worm, fluke, poppers and live bait, under the guidance of a very knowledgeable and patient captain. Caught lots of very decent sized fish and had so much fun. The banter was great and the day went so quickly. Will definitely book again. Thank you so much!

Quite place for fishing. Nice new 2022 boat with 5 seats, we caught only 3 catfish and one bass for about 3 hours of fishing, but we had good experience. Thanks Captain Mark!

Bass fishing Schedule a morning trip with Capt. Brett and Mark Shepherd filled in for Capt. Brett. I wanted to make sure I put a review on the sight Mark is on. We had an outstanding morning fishing with 3 fish over 5 lbs. I will be planning my next vacation around Captain Mark Shepherd's schedule. He is the real deal and put us on fish within minutes.12/09/2022.

Half day Trip Capt. Mark Shepherd did an outstanding job putting us on fish within minutes. I will book this trip again with Capt. Shepard!

Big Wind - Big Bass A cold front came in right before the day trip I had scheduled months prior. Forecast of 15 to 25 mph winds. I was concerned the long awaited trip would be canceled. Contacted Mark and he was confident the trip would be on.

He was right. He was smart about not getting too far out and onto fish. His boat was amazing. Large Ranger that was the most stable, smooth running fishing boat I have ever been on. I never once felt we were in an unstable situation despite the high winds.

Mark got us onto big bass…every bass was the size you might catch once in a week in lakes in Canada. My forearms hurt after reeling in these bass!!

Mark has the boat, gear, and knowledge to put you in a position to catch amazing smallmouths. It’s up to the fisherman from there but he puts the odds of success in your favor!

Great Teacher and Guide My son and I came down in late July (not prime time for large mouth) and Captain Mark still put us on some fish. He is an expert guide and captain and is a patient teacher. Captain Mark knows every inch of that lake and was an absolute pleasure to be with. We will be booking a January trip right away.

awesome Captain ,slays fish every day awesome fish and a great guy , it would be a trip of a life time awesome job brother, Captain Mark Rose, and Captain Mark Sheppard, are the best produce quality fish every day

Well organized trip First time out with DJ had 3 solid days of fishing in Okeechobee and the glades. This man put us on the fish every day Very personable and a very relaxing trip. He shared the technical info depending on our catch goal. Great experience will definitely be back. Thanks DJ

Mark is a true professional, highly competent, and is very personable. He is patient and provides great instruction and he provided us with the highest quality fishing equipment I have ever fished with and I’ve been fishing my whole life!!! Fishing with Mark is a guaranteed fun day and he will give you a real probability of catching fish. We highly recommend!!!! Jim and Kellie

Capt Mark puts you on fish! I called mark the night before I wanted to book a trip. Mark explained to me that Erie was slow at the time with very few fish being caught and recommended another body of water nearby. Boy was his recommendation right! It was nonstop action all day. If you want to catch fish and do it with comfort, then do it with mark and his 22 foot ranger. Smooth ride to the hole, boat handles chop in the water flawlessly and provides the best fishing platform of all bass boats. Book with capt mark you won’t regret it!

Thanks again for a wonderful afternoon! We had a great time as always and look forward to seeing you again soon. If it seems like the fishing is getting good for the lunkers, let us know and we will try to come down. We really enjoyed your book. It was a fun read and we will share and recommend it to our friends. Take care!

very helpful. very knowledgeable about the lakes, the area, & the history re: the canals, the fishing, etc... looking forward to fishing with Mark at the big o in the near future

Great Day Bass Fishing Had a fantastic day with Capt Mark Shepard on Lake O. Very knowledgeable with lots of experience. Great trip even though it was mid-summer and I will be going out with him again because he knows where to find them!

Our Best Bass Trip! I've been lucky to fish with some good guides in my life and Capt. Mark Shepard moved to the top of that list the other day (1/13/21) when he took us out on Okeechobee. We caught more bass than you'd believe so I won't disclose the number but as important we had a great time. Captain Mark has some stories he likes to share as well as accurate information about the big O and surrounding environment. You can't go wrong with Captain Mark Shepard. Book it!

The perfect guys trip Had a guys trip, booked Captain Mark Shepard and captain Mark Rose. Both of these guys worked their butt off to keep us rolling in the fish. Both days we caught 40 fish per boat in January! We pulled tons of 3-4 pounders. Several 5 pounders and a couple of 6. These guys even stayed an extra hour on the last day cause we were still hot. Fishing is boring catching is fun, come have fun with these guys, you won’t regret it.

Ripping lips all day! I had an amazing time Bass fishing with Captain Mark Rose and Mark Shepard. Both of them are true professionals. We fished 2 days back to back each 8 hour trips. We were hooked up on Bass right away and it lasted ALL DAY! They did NOT disappoint! I can’t wait to come back.

Two delightful days We had two delightful days fishing with Captain Mark Shepard on Lake Okeechobee. Captain Mark was on time early in the mornings and got us on the water and fishing in the right spots quickly. It was very obvious that Captain Mark knew the lake and the good fishing spots. There had been a big bass fishing tournament the weekend before we went but he was still able to put us on a lot of fish. This was an early Christmas present for my step-son, Thomas, and we both had a blast. Unfortunately for Thomas, I took his money for the biggest fish, ha, ha. I would recommend Captain Mark to anyone who wants to be successful bass fishing the lake.

Big O/Capt.M.Shepard 80+Bass, 9 dozen shiners, 1x 8.5lbs,1x 7.5lbs,and 6 more 5lb.-6lb. Bass! 30 more 3lb.-4lb. Bass! First bass was in the boat less than 1 min after first cast. Absolutely phenomenal day! You won't find a more genuine person than Capt.Mark Shepard. Thanks Mark, tight lines! comin' back for more!

Captain Mark Sheppard Captain Mark Sheppard knows where the fish are,for sure.! Not only is he a great fisherman who knows the lake, he makes you feel comfortable. He's an easy going guy, which makes for a nice relaxing, yet exciting when the fish are biting.

Captain Mark Sheppard was the best! Put us on fish during a very windy day. He knew the sheltered coves and grassy areas. We started catching fish almost the minute we dropped in a line. Captain Mark was great to talk to and gave us advice on catching the clunkers. I highly recommend him and certainly have a return trip!

A 10 out of 10! Had the best time with Capt. Mark Shepard! Great guy with a great boat and even better stories. Mark had us on the fish from start to finish. If you’re looking for a fishing trip of a lifetime, look no further. A 10 out of 10!

We had a great trip with Captain Mark Roger's. He was a very thoughtful guide who was concerned about our success on the water. He worked to find us fish on a tough day. We ended up catching several nice bass. Had a great time and would recommend Captain Mark Roger's to anyone.

Had a fantastic day with Capt Mark Shepard on Lake O. Very knowledgeable with lots of experience. Great trip even though it was mid-summer and I will be going out with him again because he knows where to find them! 👍😎

I am not a fisherman I am not a fisherman but wanted to experience fishing with my friends. What a great time. Capt Mark our guide was extremely professional and helpful. I will definitely recommend this service and I hope to do this again. It was life changing!

Spent seven days We just spent seven days fishing with Captain Mark Shepard and it was fantastic! He knows the lake, the lures and where the Lunkers roam! Mark is a professional with extensive knowledge of fishing and life. Crystal and I have booked several trips with Mark over fifteen years and consider him a close personal Friend.

My husband and I have fished with Captain Mark several times over the last 15 years. He is very knowledgeable and a great at instructing. Mark is also a lot of fun to be with. Fishing with Mark is always the highlight of our trips to Florida. We can’t wait to go again!

Capt. Mark Shepard Capt. Mark Shepard was our guide. He did an excellent job getting us hooked up on a ton of fish and keeping us entertained. If you're looking for a guide on Okeechobee, he's your man!

Great experience Mark Shepard is a 5 star guide. I been out with him two times now and both times he put us on quality fish. I would recommend going out with him if you want a experience you won’t forget!

Great experience! It was a great experience! Mark, not only was able to get us to catch fish, but taught us a lot about the fishery in the ecosystem. He was very kind, friendly, and helpful at every opportunity possible! He gave up tips and new knowledge that we will be able to apply to our own fishing in our hometown of Ohio. Book with Mark, you will have a blast!!

Bass fishing I have fished on rodman with Ken Walker, Toho with Steve Niemoler and ocachobee with Mark Sheppard. All are great lakes and great guides. Have done all numerous times. Your best fishiing experience ever

Awesome time with Captain Mark and Brett Took a short trip to Fort Lauderdale to do some fishing . Spent a great great day on the water with captain Mark Shepard. Not only did I catch my personal best but between me my wife and Captain Mark we solved all world problems lol. Then Kim and I spend a day In The Everglades with Captain Brett Isackson. The weather was not in our favor that day but we still caught fish. Captain Brett did everything he could to get on on the bite. But bad weather is something even he can’t control. Looking forward to fishing with both captain again. Thanks guys

My husband and I came down for a two day fishing trip with Captain Mark Shepard at Lake Okachobee. The weather wasn’t the best but we had a blast. Mark called to talk with us the day prior. He picked us up at the hotel each morning. He took pictures of the fish we caught and sent them to us at the end of each day. We HIGHLY recommend!

Bass fishing at it`s best Captain , Mark put me on the bass . Had a great 6 hour trip caught 12 bass and 6 other fish . I fish a lot but you can always learn from a pro. Bring a camera ,sun screen ,sun glasses and a big hat. Get ready to have fun. Out of Clewiston Fl.

Fishing Trip - Capt Mark Rogers Capt Mark and I fished Lake Okeechobee on July 25th. Yes, it was hot. Yes, it was off season for fishing in Florida. Yes, I had a great time and a very successful fishing trip. Mark did a great job of keeping me in great water all day. He provided the tackle/baits that were needed. He had tons of knowledge about the lake and the fishing techniques. Even in the heat of July, I still caught plenty of fish including a 6+ lb. Largemouth Bass. Thanks for a great time!

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.

Bass Fishing Any day out with Mark Shepherd is a good day! Highly recommended as we are repeat customers An experience angler and former Pro like Mark is what you need when tackling the Big O! No matter the weather you will catch fish! Mark has always been professional, upfront and completely honest in the forecast. Trust no one else when making your selection

Mark Shepard Review I look forward every year to fishing with Mark Shepard. He is the ultimate guide; friendly, knowledgable,patient, great teacher and extremely hard working. He works tirelessly to put you on fish which is all you can ask for in a guide. I have fished with a lot of good guides but Mark is in a class by himself.

Another great day fishing with Mark !!! We have fished with Mark several times. This man knows were all the honey pots are! Spending six hours on the boat with Mark feels like two hours. See you next time Mark Thanks

Outstanding Experience I took my 10 yr old son fishing.. I caught a 9-1/4 lb Bass first hit.. My son caught a 7-1/2 lb Bass.. Mark Shepard guided us, if you can book Mark.. A professional all the way.. He made it happen for us, my son went on to catch more than 60 lbs of fish.. I will definitely return and fish with Mark.. A crazy good time..

Fishing trip with Captain Mark Shepard. Fishing trip with Captain Mark Shepard, who put us on fish 2 days in a row, with a catch of over 100 fish. Would recommend Mark for anyone wanting to catch fish every time.

Fun in the Florida Sun Captain Mark Shepard knows where the fish are, what they want, and the likelihood of how the weather will play into each scenario. He will always be my choice as Captain!

Amazing fishing guide trip Capt. Mark Shepard was an excellent guide and a great time to be with on the boat for a full day of fishing. He put us on great fish and made Florida bass fishing something to look forward to coming back to. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and experienced guide to make a great fishing adventure.

Great fishing experience My wife and I did a half day trip with Mark. He was awesome With my fishing novice spouse... she caught a 7lb and 6lb bass! We had a great time and caught a ton of fish. You can’t do Any better!

Captain Mark was great! Tough bite due to weather, but Captain Mark kept it fun. Very professional service which was greatly appreciated.

Excellent Trip I fished with Captain Rob Alfano on probably one of the toughest days of the year thanks to a cold front. He was an excellent guide and put me on fish despite the cold. Felt like fishing with an old buddy!

Big-O Had a great time learning Okeechobee with Captain Mark Rogers. Very informative and helpful guide! Will come back again...

A day you will never forget Went out with Capt Mark Rose out of Clewiston Fl. (bassonline.com) to enjoy the day and catch some bass. To say catch some bass was a understatement! We caught around 35 bass in 4 hours and caught two fish that I will never forget. One 7 lb and one 9 lb bass!! Lets just say after hauling in 35 bass my arms were a little tired! We had several bass in the 3-5 lb range and several double hook ups! My two boys did not want to come with (too boring) needless to say they missed out on a great adventure. If you are coming down to the area this is a must fish lake! Mark is a great guy very personable and and knowledgeable about the lake Thanks Mark for putting us on these awesome fish!!

Fantastic Fishing Day! Had a great day fishing Lake Okeechobee with Captain Mark Rose. He put us on a hot spot and we caught a tonne of fish all day! I think between the two of us, we caught 40-50 fish, including a 9.4 lb whopper! We also missed landing at least another 15-20 fish...it was incredible!

Good Time Booked a fishing trip to celebrate my father and son’s birthday. The booking process was easy and they were able to accommodate 4 people which is not easy on a bass boat and and worked with our needs. The captain was knowledgeable, friendly and tried his best to make sure we had the best experience. Although the fish weren’t biting as much as we hoped, 17 in 4.5 hours kept us happy. I would strongly recommend Captain George!

Dream come true Fishing Lake Okeechobee for giant largemouth bass has been a bucket list item of mine for a long time. Our guide Mark Shepard, was very honest and realistic of slow fishing conditions but gave us his very best effort and put me on an Okeechobee giant. It was a dream come true for me. We will be back in December.

Great Okeechobee Bass Fishing Trip We visited during late July/early August, which as we learned is also the toughest fishing of the year on Okeechobee due to the heat. In spite of the tough conditions, our guides Mark & Dave were able to put both boats onto great fish. We caught in excess of 30 bass, and were even able to land one over 5lbs! Incredible trip, great service, knowledgeable guides, great gear and boats.

Great experience Great experience for me and my two boys. Our guide, Mark Shepard, made us feel like family. Caught lots of fish while learning new tactics!

We had a great time!! The guides put us on the fish. We fished Lake Okeechobee. Caught around 40 largemouth bass. The guides have nice boats and tackle.

Challenging but rewarding Captain Mark Shepard was great, he knew I preferred to fish artificial baits, and equipped with that information, he navigated us into the grass where the morning bite was good. When that began to taper, he was quick to move our location in an attempt to find the fish amidst the glaring mid day sun. He was a great source of knowledge and had no qualms about sharing it (I asked A LOT of questions). To wrap up the day, we spent the last hour or so winding down fishing shiners, while being accompanied by a family of Manatees, who seemed to be intrigued by our presence, as they were within inches of the boat at times. The day climaxed when I landed a monster 7.5 pounder! I will not hesitate to book with Mark again in the future.

Excellent Clewiston bass fishing Captain Mark Rogers is the absolute best captain. Put us on fish all day long with some quality ones as well. Will do it again for sure.

Fishing lake okeechobee Was on a two day trip with Capt Mark Shepard, he gets it done right, he put us on good fish both days and would highly recommend Capt Shepard! Great trip

April trip Always want to fish Okeechobee and finally did so. Mark Rose was awesome. We caught some fish and lost some fish. Mark is very passionate and wants you to have the best experience possible. Hopefully I will get a chance to get back down and fish again with him.

Great fishing Lake O My wife, 2 teenage sons and I had a great afternoon fishing Lake Okeechobee with Captain Mark Rogers. He had a nice boat that fit us all and he was very fun to fish with. We fish for Bass in Michigan, but mainly with artificial bait. We fished Lake O with Live bait. It was different, but fun. Capt Mark took time to teach us how to hook the big bass. We fished multiple spots to keep the action going. We caught enough to make us want to go back and we will definitely go with Capt Mark again.

Fishing on Lake Okeechobee Captain Mark Rose is an excellent guide, and he put us on fish all day long! He is a lot of fun and an awesome guy. Captain Mark Rose will not disappoint!! -Kyle

FANTASTIC ADVENTURE with Cpt. Shepard We are family with relatively no fishing experience. For his 10th birthday, my son asked to go fishing. He'd been fishing but no luck catching any :-( He brags to anyone who will listen how he caught multiple fish on his birthday. My 11 y/o daughter who swore she was not going to fish, couldn't resist getting in on the action. Cpt. Shepard was awesome, very professional with a great sense of humor - WE SHALL NEVER FORGET OUR 1st FISHING TRIP on Lake Okeechobee or OUR 1st FISHING CAPTAIN!

Awesome day Excellent day fishing with Capt George

Mark Shepard Was Great Our second time on Lake Okeechobee. Our guide Mark Shepard was great. My son is an experienced fisherman and even he learned a bunch frmo Mark. Full of great stories and Old Boy wisdom - we really enjoyed our day

Great live shiner fishing Mark Shepard has fished Okeechobee since childhood and knows where the fish are. Note: you need to buy your own Florida fishing license and 5-6 dozen shiners.

Clewiston My girlfriend Courtney and I had our 1st trip out with Capt. Mike Groshon. It started out slow but Capt. Mike put us on the fish. He was very knowledgeable and professional. Very memorable trip. Can't wait to get back and fish with him again!

Did it again guys ! Once again guys you provided a great Okeechobee fishing experience . Me and my partner bought 9 fish a piece into the boat all good size one just over 6 lbs . Been using you guys for over 15 years . Captain Mark Shepard today as many times . I hope my buddy Guide Brian Brown doesn't see this as I did not have a chance to fish with him this time . Great guide too! Thanks again see you soon

Bass Fishing First time fishing on Lake Okeechobee and we had a great time. Captain Mark Rose was very nice and taught us a lot. He gave good instructions and helped us when needed. I would definitely go with him again. Such a great time!

OKeechobee Fishing Fished Lake Okeechobee out of Clewiston for 2 days with Capt. Galen Fugh. We caught so many fish we stopped counting. Great time on the water.

First time on the Big O Capt Scott showed me a great day on the lake. Can't wait to go back. Fished out of Clewiston and had a great lunch at Roland Martins place.

Captain Mark Captain Mark was absolutely awesome. very knowledgeable, friendly and just overall a great guy and a great Captain

Big Mouth Bass Fishing Great time with Capt. Mark Shepard on Lake Okeechobee. Caught plenty of fish and had a great first time experience. Would recommend him to everyone and will definitely be back again.

Capt Rob Alfano I went out with Captain Rob again on Monday Jan 29th and had a great day on the lake. I am a return customer and really can't say enough great things about this guide. He is just so professional and will put you on the fish every time. The weather changes this time of year make it challenging but his expert ability to move around the lake and find the fish is awesome. I really enjoy being out with him and catching big fish. He is a lot of fun and makes the trip fun. I can't wait to get out with him again soon. Thanks Captain Rob!!! Your The Best!!

Best guide ever On January 18, I got to fish with Captain Mark Shepard. The weather was not good that day with wind chills in the 20's and winds to 25 mph. Capt. Mark came to fish dressed like he had an upcoming audition for "Life Below Zero." We discussed not going out, but Mark was determined to make his customers happy with the fishing experience. With nobody else on the lake or in the boat launch parking lot, we went fishing. As expected, I didn't catch as many fish as normal, but nothing stopped Mark from making sure we caught some. I cannot ask for a better guide or a commitment to serve a paying customer. The whole organization, Bass-on-line, and its captains just can't be beaten. I would use their services always and will never be disappointed

Amazing Galen was an awesome guide! I’m a novice with regards to bass fishing. He made the ride and the 4 hours fly! Very entertaining jovial conversation! Expert guide! Times flies when you’re having fun! Many bass were caught this day! Thanks, Galen, for a memorable experience!

Capt Mark Shepard My wife booked a trip for her Father and myself for his birthday. Capt Mark was fantastic! Even though the weather has been cold, he found the bass! He was extremely knowledgeable about his job and very passionate. He made sure we had the best possible time, and directed us as to what would end up being a great fishing day for bass! We have never caught so many in one day! It was awesome, and we look forward to returning next year to fish with Capt Mark Shepard!

Cold Front not a problem. On the morning of my trip it was only 41* even a bit chilly of this Minnesotan. I fished with Capt Mark Rogers. He was everything one could ask for. On time, very friendly, his boat and gear were in perfect working condition and he put me on fish. We fished with live shiners something I have never done before. This also was my first time in Florida and a first for the BigO. Mark put me on fish right away. I caught a lot of bass and I also caught a 5 lb. catfish. My biggest bass was a nice 5+ not what I was looking for but two of the fish I lost bringing them to the boat were exactly what I was looking for. Mark did everything in his power to try and get the monster I was looking for. I had a wonderful time Mark was very knowledgeable about the lake and the surrounding area. I didn't know they burned the cane fields before they harvested. I would recommend Capt Mark Rogers for your fishing adventure. I will sure ask for him on future adventures.

Cold front was'nt a problem. On the morning of my fishing trip it was only 41* even a little cold for this Minnesotan. But that wasn't going to be a problem, not much different than springtime fishing at home. I fished with guide Mark Rogers. He was everything anyone could ask for. On time, very friendly and most of all knew where the fish were. (I did get a giggle about all the clothes he wore to go out, bibs parka, hat and face mask) But he isn't from Minnesota so he gets a bye on that one. His boat and gear were all in perfect working condition. We fished with live shiners. I had never fished with them before, this also was my first time in Florida and fishing the BigO. The action was almost nonstop. I caught a lot of bass and I even caught a 5 lb. catfish. My biggest bass was a nice 5+ not really what I was looking for but two of the fish I lost coming to the boat were sure the ones I was looking for. Mark was great to fish with very knowledgeable about the lake and things around the surrounding area. I would recommend using him for your fishing adventure. Thanks again Mark for making my adventure all I could ask for.

amazing two days of fishing!!! Captain Mark Shepard gave my two 14 year old boys two amazing full days of fishing! They caught so many fish down in Clewiston Florida that we lost count! Captain Mark kept these boys laughing and entertained and gave them 100% of his attention! Both boys caught their personal best 8 1/2 and 7 3/4 lb bass! I highly recommend bassonline! This is our 2nd year with them and will definitely use them again! We were not even out of the parking lot and these boys were begging me to plan another trip here with them! Thank you Captain Mark for making this trip an amazing one!

Bass Fishing in FL We had a great time yesterday fishing on the Lake with Cap't Mark Shepard. We caught a lot of bass, thanks to Mark's skill in the art of how and where to catch them, and as alwats, it is a pleasure to be out with such a bona fide expert country boy!

Fishing w/ Captain Mark Rose My dad and I booked a 4 hour fishing trip w/ Mark Rose on the south side of Lake Okeechobee (Clewiston to be exact) and we had a great time. Caught quite a few large mouth bass. Would definitely recommend. Weather was perfect and captain was kind. Go fish!

Excellent Fishing Trip Captain Mark Rose really put us on the fish on Okeechobee today. We caught 50+ bass with many over 5-7lbs. Highly recommend using Bass Online to book your next fishing trip and Capt Mark Rose. He knows the lake well and you will have the opportunity for a trip of a lifetime

Best Florida Fishing Trip Mark Shepard was the best! What a great time! We caught over 50 fish in one day when it seemed no one else was doing very well. We highly recommend this to anyone wanting a great day of fishing.

Best Guide Bass Online's Mark Shepard is the best guide I have ever used. I have been fishing for 65 years. I've been using guides for 30 years. Mark is by far the best. He knows Lake Okeechobee like it was his living room. When conditions are bad Mark will figure out something different to find the fish. Last week I fished with Mark on Okeechobee for 3 days. I had a friend with me for 2 of the days. In total my friend and I caught 202 bass in 3 days. The biggest was 8 pounds and we had several 5-7 pounders. There was a big tournament on the lake on the first day. Most of the tournament anglers were fishless. Mark figured out what to do and we caught 57 bass that day when most people never got a bite. Too bad we weren't entered in the tournament.

Awsome Trip Spent a Great day on the water with Captain Mark Shepard. This is my second trip with Mark. Always a fun time. Mark is very knowledgeable about Okeechobee. Mark is one of those guys who takes care of the client. It’s your day on the water, you do the Fishing and Mark makes you feel right at home. Can’t wait for the next trip. Everyone at bass online thank you for putting it all together. 5-STARS.

Capt. Mark is GREAT Only wish I booked whole day. Hubby and i had a GREAT time looking forward to next vacation and fishing with Capt. Mark

Fishing trip Nest time fishing ever. Thank you Captain Mark. Hubby and I are looking forward to next trip. Only regret I didn't book full day. Next time. Best guide around!!!

Tried them all... Been coming to Clewiston for guided fishing trips for over 10 years. Have tried all of them, Bass Online stands heads above of the local unorganized and unprofessional marina's. Don't mess up like I did, use these guys!

Great time I Fished with two different captains for two different types of fish, captain Mike Groshon for peacock bass on lake ida, and Captain Mark Shepard on the big “o” ( lake Okeechobee) they both worked hard to put me on the fish and it was two great days on the water boating lots of fish

Awesome Trip! Can't wait to go back and hang out with guide Mark Shepard again! Caught a bunch of fish and he was a world class host!

Honeymoon Fishing Capt. Mark Shepherd was great, he was really friendly,courteous and put us on the fish even just after hurricane Irma and was really impressed on his professionalism and would recommend to any fisherman wanting to fish lake okeechobee, thanks again Mark you guys are awesome

Okeechobee 6 hour fishing with Captain Mark Shepherd everything went off on time, equipment was up to date and performed well. Our guide, Captain Mark Shepherd put us on big bass in hot August and we caught several fish, which is unusual in August. Captain Shepherd worked very hard at baiting and netting our catches. I heartily recommend him for a successful fishing venture.

Great fishing trip! Mark was awesome! Tough time of year for fishing and he put us right on the fish! Would go again for sure!

Best Guided Trip Ever! I'm writing this review on behalf of my dad and my teenage son… I booked them a three day guided fishing trip with Mark Shepard and he was beyond amazing with our family! My dad had always dreamed of fishing on Lake Okeechobee and it finally came true and he cannot stop talking about how awesome this trip was! Mark was be on what we could ever ask for on a fishing guide, lots of fun, very helpful, the list goes on and on! I can't say enough good things about Mark and his personality and his guiding abilities! If ever in doubt don't be and just book this trip he won't be disappointed! We are already planning a trip back for January or February maybe next year the next!

Bass fishing. Great experience with captain Mark Shepherd. Had a blast and caught some good fish. Will be going back again in the future.

Bass Online Easy Booking and the absolute best guides. We went with Captain Mark Shepard and believe we have made a great friend. He was full of knowledge and gave us lots of tips. We are already planning a return trip to fish with Mark

Mark Shepard the best guide in the world I have been bass fishing for 60 years. I have fished all over the world. The best guide I have ever used is Capt. Mark Shepard. He knows how to find the bass on Lake Okeechobee. On my 69th birthday he put me on an 11lb 3 oz bass, the biggest of my life. I have used mark for 10 years and will continue to go to Florida every year to fish with Mark. I should'nt give him such good reviews so he would be available more often for me but too many people already know how good he is.. If you call BASS ONLINE and can't get Mark don't worry. Ask your guide to call Mark to find out what the fish are doing. All the guides at BASS ONLINE work together to make sure you have a great time.

Probably my best day of fishing ever -- No REALLY -- ever. I've been using Bassonline for many years now and their guides have always put me over fish every single time. Not every trip produces the kind of numbers and bag weight i enjoyed this trip but every trip is pure joy for the serious or even just recreational bass fisherman. This trip Captain Mark Sheppard showed his skill and experience finding not just lots of fish but big ones. had over 75 fish in the boat with half a dozen over 5 pounds, at least a dozen over 4 and just a handful under a pound. This while others fished around or near us getting next to nothing. Captain Mark gets full credit for this marvelous day of fishing. I will definitely be back!

not just great fishing -- great guys I've been fishing with bass online guides for the past 10 years or so. Every guide I've worked with has been great. My particular favourite is Captain Mark Sheppard -- He always puts me over fish and even on tough days its a pleasure working the water with him. a true gentleman and sportsman!

Awesome trip I booked a last minute trip with Capt. Mark Shepard. It turned out to be a great day on the water as i caught a bass on my first cast and on one of my last casts. I lost count of how many bass were caught but it had to be over 30. I learned a lot by fishing with Mark and he is quite knowledgeable regarding how to put fish in the boat. I would definitely charter with him again. Thanks for a great experience.

What a Wonderful Day! I'm not a fisherman so I didn't know what to expect, but Mark Rose made the day wonderful! I caught a fish within 5 minutes and I learned a lot. It was low stress and completely enjoyable. Mark managed to make it just challenging enough for very different skill levels. My husband, who loves to fish, is thrilled because I'm excited to go again! Thanks Mark Rose!!

Awesome I had an amazing trip today with Mark Shepard and I will definitely be back. He is a great guide and I had a blast. We caught a lot of fish and had good conversation all day. Okeechobee really flexed its muscles for me today. Thank you I'll definitely be back soon!!!

My experience with Mark Shepard I booked a full day with Mr. Shepard for me and my buddy from out of state and I couldn't be happier. We had one of the best days fishing we've ever had. That being said Mark is a great guy and very knowledgeable on what to do and when to do it and he will even give you some good BBQ tips! That being said the amount of quality fish that we're caught and my new personal best it's safe to say we have found our guide for any further trips. We plan on booking another asap. Thanks again Mr. Shepard hope to get out there again soon!

Fishing with Capt. Mark Shepard My fishing buddy and i were fortunate to get to fish with Capt. Mark Shepard on March 4 on Okeechobee. Okeechobee has been on my bucket list. It was a windy day and Capt. Shepard had told us the day before that it might be a tough bite. We were able to catch 20 bass despite the windy conditions and had a very enjoyable day of fishing with Capt. Shepard. Thanks a bunch!!! Look forward to fishing with him again :) :)

Capt. George Mro Captain George was great. We had an awesome trip and caught a lot of quality fish including a 9 pounder! Highly recommend!

Great experience Mark Shepard is a true professional. Very attentive to the client. Not only did he work his butt off to put us on fish is tough, windy conditions he took the time to teach me how to properly use my bait caster at home. A Larger than life, genuine person! I'll be back again.

Captain Rob Alfano This was my second trip to Okeechobee this month. We spent the first full day and the 1/2 day fishing out of Clewiston. It was good fishing we caught some nice 4 pounders and a lot of 2-3 pounders. The last day (after a front moved trough) we fished out of Okeechobee. We caught several 4 to 4-1/2 pounders and a 7 pounder. we boated 50 bass the last day even having to go back and get more shiners. This trip was so much fun and Captain Rob is the BEST!!! He really worked with us on the weather changing and put us on a ton of great fish. If you want to have a great time with a real Pro just book Captain Rob Alfano and you can't go wrong. I look forward to booking another trip with him. Thanks Bass Online and Captain Rob!!!

Bass fishing Had a great day on the water .perfect weather plenty of fish, several over 5#. Mark is a great captain and very good putting us in the fish.

Wonderful time on Lake Okeechobee Capt George, thanks again for showing my brother and I a wonderful time on Lake Okeechobee. Despite flat/calm weather, you put us on the fish and found the perfect spots! From start to finish, we had a great time took away some great memories! We appreciate your professionalism and patience. The next time my brother visits from California, we’ll reach out to you again. Best, Stuart Geller Wellington, FL

The BEST Bass guide on the Big "O" We've fished with Capt. Mark Shepard for years and had our usual terrific outing on Feb. 16th! Fishing was challenging, but our 5 dozen shiners yielded over 40 fish - many in the 4 to 8 pound range. Mark seems to know the Big "O" like the back of his hand and some unbelievable bass highways! In addition to his bass expertise, Mark is an entertaining story teller and a genuine nice guy! We'll keep on booking him for future trips. You cannot go wrong with a bass fishing trip with Mark!!!!

An awesome guide I have been bass fishing for 40 years. When I am on vacation near a lake I often hire a guide to go bass fishing. The best guide I have ever met is Captain Mark Shepard. He knows lake Okeechobee like it was his backyard. He turns on his magic and we go catch bass. The biggest bass of my life, an 11.3 pounder was on a trip with Mark. One time he found a huge school. I caught 100 bass in an hour. My arms got so tired I had to stop fishing. When the conditions are bad and no one is catching anything, Mark can always find some catchable fish. If you're looking for the best possible day of fishing call Bass Online

fish of a life time my son and I booked a trip with Captin Mark Rose on the big O we caught 40 to 50 fish and we each caught our biggest bass ever it was a trip we will never forget Captin Rose was a professional in every manor we will be back next year its a must do

Mark Shepard Have been fishing with Mark for a number of years. Each time the experience is top notch. He always puts us on fish and will do anything to make sure you catch them. He is a true professional and gentleman. I could not imagine fishing Lake O without him. He's a great talker also and loves to talk about life. Truly, a 5-star guy and experience always

Fishig with Mark Shepard Fished with Mark on January 19th with my buddy Bob Cundff. Had a fish filled day and many laughs. Always look forward to fishing the big "O" and Mark knows where they hang. Can't wait to do it again.

Best Bass Fishing EVER! The day my husband & I shared with Capt. Mark Shepard was incredible. It started with a glorious sunrise and continued with us catching bass all morning! Of course having a great day means having great Captain. Upon arrival, Mark was ready with the boat & equipment, so we didn't miss a minute of precious fishing time. He took excellent care of us & spent extra time with me (I'm a novice). The result? I caught a 6 pound bass! I highly recommend Capt. Mark Shepard. You will have a fishing experience to remember for years!

THE BIG ONE! Captain Mark is the best guide you will have. We highly recommend him. Our first guide out we caught numerous bass. Mark knows where to find them! The biggest catch of the day was my 8.6 pound bass. It was unbelievable. It made our trip so eventful we went back out with Mark two weeks later. The second trip was just as successful. Mark knows the lake and is a where to catch them. You won't be sorry if you book with Captain Mark. Kim and Woody Woodin, Ouray, Colorado

Great experience Had a great day with Mark Shepard! A true professional, an awesome guy. Caught lots of bass. We will be back.

We always look forward to spending a few awesome days with Mark! So much fun, great conversation and stories. And, we catch great fish. Mark is a special person in all the ways someone can be!

Mark Shepard is an awesome guide he's so good he inspired me to be a guide now. A great fishermen but a even better person.

Captain Mark is an amazing guide! His knowledge of the lake and Bass fishing is unbelievable! If you are looking for a trip of a lifetime give Capt a call!

Mark is the best guide on Okeechobee. Great times and great fishing.

My brother flies from Boston every year and we use mark as our guide. He is very professional but more important he is friendly and easy to get along with. He make fishing both exciting and fun. We always catch some nice size bass. I would not use anyone else. Looking forward to next year. It will be our 4th year and we are never disappointed. If mark is booked you can trust that anyone of his team will get you fish.
