AFFORDABLE RATES - LAKE OKEECHOBEE BASS FISHING GUIDE SERVICE

lake okeechobee bass fishing, florida freshwater bass fishing, lake okeechobee fishing guide serviceRon's Guide Service has strived for the last 22 years to make fishing on famous Lake Okeechobee an "affordable" dream for many. Our half and full day fishing rates which are the lowest around the lake is just one example of reaching this goal. Florida shiner fishing for trophy bass is a very expensive method of bass fishing that Captain Ron has managed to take the sting out of. This was achieved by simply including the shiners free of charge in the bass fishing guide rate. The most affordable goal reached by Captain Ron is his "2 four hour half day 1 night Special Fishing Package" offer where lodging is also provided along with 6 dozen shiners.
