Fishery biologists are in the process of restocking Medard Reservoir at Turkey Creek.

The public-access impoundment was drained to repair the dam in the fall of 2009, but it has been fixed and the water level is rising.

The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission reports a total of 477,000 juvenile sport fish will be stocked during the winter and spring. The fish will come from the FWC’s Largemouth Bass Research Center near Webster.

The FWC released 130,000 juvenile bluegills to start the restocking process last week. Another 170,000 bluegills and 77,000 shellcrackers will be added in the next few weeks. (more…)

Florida Bass Fishing Report, father and son on Lake Okeechobee.

Fishing with fathers and kids is some of my favorite trips. Trip today is with Keith Lane & son Anthony for Largemouth bass fishing on Lake Okeechobee. The Lanes are taking time out of there busy lives to spend time together and sharing the great outdoors is good way to do that.I love taking my daughter fishing and hunting we have great memories and adventures and I hope to have allot more. When we take our kids outdoors it is not only the adventures you share opportunities to learn about nature, appreciate the beauty and learn to respect it. I believe that you can teach a kid to fish, they will learn a relaxing hobby along with enjoy nature and may avoid trouble.
