The Florida Fishing Experts
Specializing in Florida Bass Fishing on all of the Florida Freshwater Lakes.

Today I fished with the Hunek brothers they caught 40 fish by 9:00am. By the end of the day we had close to 100 Okeechobee bass. 

All the fish were caught on artificial baits . The wind was 25 out of the west and the fish were bitting plastics and spinerbaits. No giants were caught today, but only caught a few small ones. Overall just real good quality Lake Okeechobee bass, which was a lot of fun and a good workout.

The big lake is doing great, low water, fires the fish are biting!
Give me call, let’s go fishin,

Today I fished Lake Ida area with Gene & Neil from Wellington, Fl which seen my new article on Fly Fishing for Florida Peacock bass in the May 2008 Florida Sportsman magazine.

So, after they read the article we had full intentions of fly fishing for the peacock bass with some of the new techniques that were written about. As always, weather (high winds) are never predictable and today it left us with very few options to choice from. Even so we started with the flies and rapidly realized it wasn’t going to work and pulled out the spinning gear.

We then switch to topwater lures and even live bait in some cases to provoke the bite. All said in done, we caught around 10 peacock bass that ranged from 1-1/2lbs up to 5lbs.

Mother nature didn’t provide the day we were looking for, but Gene & Neil scheduled a new trip next month to fish the Florida Everglades while fly fishing for trophy largemouth bass.

If you are in the South Florida area and would like to get a couple of hours in on a Peacock bass fishing trip, give me call!

Today Mike Sr & Jr decided to try there luck on world famous Lake Okeechobee. Day 2 brought on heavy winds, which on Okeechobee can be not so good. Lake Okeechobee is dealing with low water, but the fishing has been just short of fabulous. If you take the simple fact that the same number of fish living in half the amount of water…it’s a slug fest when you find them.

Today would be no different, although with the wind change it took us most of the morning to locate this group of bass. Once we did, the boys started putt’in a Louisiana spanking on them bass. Nothing giant in size today, although Dad did have one on late in the day that could have been in the 6 to 7 lb range that lead him all over the boat. Started at the front then headed to the rear of the boat before it went and wrapped around the outboard and got off. All I could say was…next time, maybe next time…

Most of the fish caught today were in the 3 to 4lb class and were caught in shallow water with a slow retrieve. Because of the clear water, extra long cast were really important. We ended the day with just under 30 fish!

Day two for the Juneau family was done, with one day to go as they headed for the Everglades!

If you are interested in experiencing Lake Okeechobee with a fun day of fishing, give me a call.
