A simple pre-trip checklist

Plan your Captain D trip

A few details make an Okeechobee fishing day easier to plan. Use this checklist with the current rates and FAQ before you send a booking request.

  1. 1

    Choose a trip and request a date

    Review the Lake “O”, Headwaters, and Palm Beach County options in the rates section, then use the existing booking area to choose a trip and preferred date. A request is not a reservation until Captain D confirms it; the site says confirmation arrives within 12 hours.

  2. 2

    Check your fishing license

    Check the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission’s current freshwater fishing license requirements and exemptions before your trip. Requirements depend on factors such as age and residency. Confirm what each angler needs, then use the official licensing catalog if a purchase is required.

  3. 3

    Decide on bait

    The site offers live shiners or artificial lures. Live shiners are listed at current market price and paid separately before the trip. Captain D will contact you after booking to discuss the details.

  4. 4

    Leave room for weather decisions

    Weather and safety calls are made by Captain D. The FAQ says that if a trip is cancelled, you can reschedule. Check the current terms for the broader booking and cancellation conditions.

Getting there and staying nearby
