Hi, I’m Captain Mark

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 trips in Lake Okeechobee more than just a memory—let’s make it a story worth telling.

   As an avid bass fisherwoman in TN, Okeechobee has always been on my bass lake bucket list and then add Mark Shephard as my guide and it couldn’t get much better! Fairly slow in the beginning but we ended up getting on a top water bite and it was game on! I will definitely be back!

   Another great day out on the “big O” with Mark. It’s like fishing with a friend he is an outstanding patient teacher and for a beginner like me it’s been the best thing to help me improve. Looking forward to booking a number of trips this winter.

   My son and I went out with Capt. DJ Timms on a recent trip and he was fantastic! Due to our schedule we had to book him for an afternoon trip which was not an ideal time. He quickly got us on a spot where we started catching quality bass right away - right from our first cast! In just a few hours we landed about 20 fish between us. His boat and equipment are all excellent. In addition to being a knowledgeable guide, he was a great fishing companion and really nice guy to spend an afternoon with trading stories and spending time on the water. I highly recommend Capt. DJ for a great fishing trip.

   Captain Mark Shepard provided an outstanding fishing trip on Lake Okeechobee! Even with the challenging conditions, the intense heat and relentless bugs, Mark knew exactly where to find the fish. Thanks to his experience, we landed several nice bass, including an incredible 7-pound largemouth that made the trip unforgettable.What really stood out was how patient and knowledgeable Mark was with my kids. He took the time to teach them valuable fishing techniques that they’ll be able to use for years to come. It was more than just a successful day of fishing, it was a great learning experience for our whole family.If you’re looking for a hardworking, knowledgeable guide who can put you on fish even when conditions are tough, I highly recommend Captain Mark Shepard!

   I just spent six days fishing with Captain Mark Shepard I have booked several trips with Mark over the last twenty years and consider him a close personal Friend. We fished for crappie the entire week as the spawn is on! The eight pictures were taken last month fishing for large mouth bass. Several in the 5-6 pound range. Still working to better my personal best of. 9 3/4 pound bass. Had the honor of the Title of Fisherman of the week for 2+ months. Can’t wait to get back to Florida‼️🎣🌴🐊. Mark will share the crappie pics with me and I will share them in my next review.
