Hey Captain Mark
Daphne and I had a great time fishing with you last week. With an early morning temperatures of 48 and on the back-end of a cold front I knew fishing would be tough. We both have a good bit of fishing experience, but not bass fishing. The morning fishing was tough, but we both caught some hard fighting fish. You patiently spent a lot of time teaching us bass fishing techniques and kept hunting for fish. The afternoon was another story.The fishing picked as we became better at feeling and hooking fish. Then Daphne and doubled up on two 3 1/2 pound bass. A little while later I caught a nine pound largemouth bass. By far the largest largemouth bass that I have ever caught. I have attached pictures of the fish I just mentioned. The 14 foot alligator just three feet under the boat was pretty wild! Thanks again for a memorable trip and good luck on the pro tour.

Today I had out a wonderful couple from Fayetteville, GA on Lake Okeechobee. We had a great time together, although the day started out rather cold and a little windy they were real troopers. As the day progressed and the sun warned us and the water you could really see the fishing start to get better. For the rest of the story I will let John & Dephne tell you in there own works below…

You patiently spent a lot of time teaching us bass fishing techniques and kept hunting for fish.
The afternoon was another story. The fishing picked up as we became better at feeling and hooking fish. Then Daphne and I doubled up on two 3 1/2 pound bass (pictured above). A little while later I caught a my (9)nine pound largemouth bass(above). By far the largest largemouth bass that I have ever caught.
I have attached pictures of the fish I just mentioned. The 14 foot alligator just three feet under the boat was pretty wild also!
Thanks again for a memorable trip and good luck on the pro tour.

Allen and Billy Dyson are no strangers to Florida bass fishing, especially on Orange and Lochloosa lakes. The Hawthorne brothers have been casting for bigmouths in their home lakes since the 1960s when they were youngsters.
Since those days, the Dysons have caught lots of big fish and have a long list of amazing angling stories to tell. The most recent, however, will go straight to the top of the list.
Casting an old favorite bass plug on Orange Lake on Saturday morning, Allen had a huge swirl. As he called to Billy to cast to the spot, the fish struck again, this time, nailing the silver Devil’s Horse topwater lure.
“I thought it might be a big mudfish or even a gator,” Allen recounted. “But I knew it was big.”
He battled the big fish until it ran into a bed of hydrilla. When he worked the behemoth out of the grass, Billy was ready with the landing net. As Billy swung the full and writhing net aboard, the brothers were momentarily stunned. “We both said, ‘My God, what a fish.’”
Allen phoned his wife, Ginny, and son, Jeffrey, and they drove to the boat ramp at Heagy-Burry Park with camera and two hand-held digital scales.
On the scale made by Berkley, the monster weighed 13 pounds, 7 ounces. The Rapala digital showed 13-08.
After a thorough photographic chronicling, the Dysons took the brute back to the spot where she had struck, and released her in excellent condition.
Allen Dyson’s biggest bass up until last weekend had been 10-03, and now it will be nearly impossible to ever better his top fish. He doesn’t seem too upset about that.
At 13½ pounds, the bass ranks as one of the largest pulled from an Alachua County Lake in decades and should easily rank among the largest fish taken in all of Florida for 2009.

 - Florida Everglades
In April on the 8, 9, and 10, for three great days, I had the honor of fishing with two crazy guys Vinny and Melvin out of Pennsylvania. These Guys are repeat snowbird clients for the last four years that come to South Florida to thaw out from the cold weather. I informed the guys that they needed to be ready to catch a lot of fish and that the artificial bite was on! Needless to say Vinny and Melvin will be back to break their record of over one hundred and sixty fish. Everglades finest and best fishing.
Till next time tight lines and good fishing….
