Florida's Ultimate Bass Fishing Adventure

Get ready to chase some trophy bass in two of Florida's most legendary fishing spots. This 6-hour charter takes you through the wild Everglades and onto the expansive Lake Okeechobee, giving you a double dose of prime bass territory. We're talking serious fishing here - not for the faint of heart or those just looking to dip a line. If you've got some experience under your belt and want to step up your game, this is your chance to tangle with some real monsters.

Trip Overview

This isn't your average fishing trip. We're hitting two world-class bass fisheries in one day, maximizing your chances of landing that fish of a lifetime. Your pro guide knows these waters like the back of their hand and will put you on the fish. We provide all the top-notch gear, so you just need to bring your A-game. With 6 solid hours on the water, you'll have time to try different spots and techniques. Whether you're looking to fine-tune your skills or test out some new strategies, this trip delivers. It's perfect for anglers who want more than just a quick outing - we're talking a full-on bass quest here.

What to Expect on the Water

We'll kick things off early, meeting at the dock before sunrise. After a quick safety rundown, we'll head out to our first spot. Depending on the conditions and recent fish activity, we might start in the Everglades' labyrinth of channels and grass mats, or we could hit Lake Okeechobee's vast open water. Your guide will read the water and decide where the bass are most likely to be biting. We'll use a variety of techniques throughout the day - from flipping heavy cover to working topwater lures across lily pads. You might find yourself pitching into thick vegetation one minute and working a deep ledge the next. It's all about adapting to what the fish want on any given day.

Why Anglers Keep Coming Back

Let's be real - once you've fished the Everglades and Lake Okeechobee, other spots just don't quite measure up. The sheer variety of fishing opportunities is mind-blowing. In the Everglades, you're casting into primeval swamps where gators sun themselves on logs and ospreys dive for their lunch. Then you hit Okeechobee, and suddenly you're on a inland sea, with miles of open water dotted with grass islands and hidden honey holes. The bass here grow big and fight hard, thanks to the year-round growing season and abundant food. Plus, with 6 hours on the water, you've got time to really dial in your presentation and potentially rack up some serious numbers. It's the kind of fishing that gets in your blood and keeps you coming back for more.

Species You'll Want to Hook

Largemouth Bass: These are the stars of the show, and for good reason. Florida-strain largemouth are known for growing to trophy sizes, and both the Everglades and Lake Okeechobee are prime big bass factories. These fish can top 10 pounds, with even bigger ones lurking in the depths. They're ambush predators, often holding tight to cover like submerged logs, grass mats, or dock pilings. When they hit, it's explosive - there's nothing quite like seeing a big bass blow up on a topwater lure at dawn. Spring is generally prime time for big bass, but you can catch them year-round here. The key is adapting your tactics to the seasonal patterns.

Peacock Bass: While not native to Florida, these colorful fighters have established themselves in parts of the Everglades canal system. Originally from South America, peacock bass were introduced to control other non-native fish species, and they've thrived. They're known for their aggressive strikes and powerful runs. Peacocks prefer warm water, so they're most active in the hotter months. They're usually smaller than largemouth, averaging 2-4 pounds, but what they lack in size they make up for in ferocity. Sight-fishing for peacocks in clear canals is an absolute blast - you can often see them chase down your lure.

Top Catches This Season

This season has been on fire for big bass. We've seen multiple 8+ pounders come to the boat, with a few pushing double digits. One group last month managed to boat 3 fish over 7 pounds in a single day - that's the kind of action that keeps anglers up at night dreaming about their next trip. The peacock bass fishing has been equally hot, with several fish in the 4-5 pound range landed. These aren't just numbers - each one of these fish represents a memory that'll last a lifetime.

Time to Book Your Spot

Look, if you're serious about bass fishing, this trip needs to be on your bucket list. We're talking about two of the best bass fisheries in the country, guided by pros who live and breathe this water. With 6 full hours to work with, you've got time to really get dialed in and potentially experience some of the best fishing of your life. Whether you're after that new personal best largemouth or want to tangle with the hard-fighting peacocks, this trip delivers the goods. Spots fill up fast, especially during peak seasons, so don't wait to lock in your date. Get ready to put your skills to the test against some of the biggest, baddest bass Florida has to offer. Trust me, once you've fished these waters, you'll be counting the days until you can get back out here. Book now and let's get after those lunkers!

Learn more about the species

Largemouth Bass

The king of freshwater gamefish, largemouth bass are a favorite target in the Everglades and Lake Okeechobee. These green-bodied fighters typically range from 1 to 5 pounds, with trophy fish pushing 10 pounds or more. You'll find them lurking around submerged logs, grass beds, and lily pads in 3 to 15 feet of water. Spring and fall are prime seasons, but bass bite year-round here in Florida. Anglers love the explosive strikes and acrobatic jumps when hooked. Their big mouths can inhale large lures, so don't be afraid to go big. A local trick: work a dark-colored plastic worm slowly along the bottom on sunny afternoons. The bass can't resist it. Whether you're after numbers or that once-in-a-lifetime lunker, largemouth offer an exciting challenge for any skill level.

Peacock Bass

Peacock bass aren't true bass, but they fight like one on steroids. These colorful bruisers average 2-4 pounds, with some topping 10. Look for them in the warmer canals and lakes of South Florida, especially around bridges, fallen trees, and aquatic plants. They're most active in daylight hours, hunting smaller fish. Spring and fall are peak seasons, but you can catch them year-round. Anglers love peacocks for their aggressive strikes and bulldog fighting style. They'll smash topwater lures and crush live bait. Here's a local tip: use golden shiners (we call 'em "peacock candy") on a light spinning setup. Cast near structure and hold on tight. These fish hit hard and don't give up easily. It's a unique Florida experience you won't forget.
