Big O guides?

[Hoytlifer]

We’re headed to Fort Pierce from March 22-29. My son and I want to get a guide to take us on Okeechobee. Open for any advice or contacts. Thanks

Call Roland Martin's and ask for Mark King or Kevin Long. You will have a great time with either!

Can we fish with anything other than shiners?

Can we fish with anything other than shiners?

Yes. Your guide will let you fish however you want. Now he may recommend a specific type lure but all that I have ever fished with will let you fish however you want. Also, the guide typically provides the lures you will use but you can bring your own if you want. I would recommend that you discuss this with the guide prior to booking him so he knows what you want. Most likely he has different locations he'd bring shinner clients as opposed to artificial anglers. Either way, let him know what you want to do prior to booking him.

If you want to fish with touring pro's and fish artificial baits these are a great start

Kyle Monti guides out of Fast Break and is a Elite Series Pro, really nice young man with great values. He offers artificial and live bait trips.

Fished with Mike Jones. Wanted 6 hours but he only had time for 4 hours with us. Won’t be using him again. Amazing fishery.

[ScottOz]

Wow must have had an off day, I know Mike and His Son.

[Hoytlifer]

Mike is a great guide and fisherman, I came across a little negative, my bad. My son and I could have used a little more time on the water was all.
