						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

						Fun on Lake Ockeechobee We live in the Fla Keys but our roots go back to Alabama. My daughter wanted to go Bass fishing for spring break, so we looked up charter opportunities out of Clewiston as we were familiar with the area. We found Capt Mike, booked a charter (the first one had to be cancelled due to inclement weather) and had an absolute BLAST! Capt Mike was AWESOME! He made us feel super comfortable, and not so stupid, when it came to fishing Bass, lol. I would highly recommend Capt Mike Groshon and iOutdoor Fishing Adventures any day!

						Fishing okechober Going to be honest and fair. Really liked captain good guy. I reserved in advance not knowing weather and the captain did call concerned a little about sudden fall in temp. And wind. Got up , cold in low forties and wind blowing. Bought $80 dollars in minnows. Caught no fish and could not stand cold and wind . We came back in about 10:40 am in my direction . So was charged for half day and the minnows. While I do not blame the guide I wish he had just told me ahead it would be better to reschedule.

						Fishing Okeechobee Our guide Mark was great. Knowledgeable, laid back, and ready with quiet constructive suggestions when appropriate. Got us onto fish everyday and my brother -- who hasn't fished in about 40 years -- landed an 8 pound bass. So jealous. Anyway, we had a great time and enjoyed Mark's company and being on the lake.

						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.

						Challenging but rewarding Captain Mark Rogers 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.
