When you’ve spent most of your life chasing big bass on Lake Okeechobee, guiding others becomes more than just a job—it becomes a passion. I’m Captain Mark Shepard, and for me, guiding is about more than putting people on fish. It’s about sharing the experience of this incredible lake, teaching what I’ve learned over decades, and helping anglers of all levels connect with the thrill of bass fishing in Florida.
I’ve had the privilege of fishing professionally across the country, but no place has ever compared to Lake Okeechobee. This lake isn’t just my office—it’s home. Every sunrise on the Big “O” is a reminder of why I love what I do. Whether you’re here to chase your personal best, learn new techniques, or just enjoy a peaceful day on the water, let me be your Lake Okeechobee fishing guide to lead the way.
Let’s make your next fishing!
