May 11, 2010 onboard with George Rovnak from Rahway, New Jersey booked a last minute fishing trip for Lake Toho with Capt. John Leech.  George trip was such success, that he  booked a trip at the next available date to try to out catch the perfect fishing day. The Rovnak  first Largemouth bass  weight in at  8 1/2   and by  the day ends with a 8 1/2 , 9 1/2 and  yes the double digit mark of  10 1/4.  Cant’ wait to do it again!

Captain John,

After fishing with you, I took some of your advise. Downsized everything like you said, 10lb test with a 1/0 hook and caught three small ones (non-keepers) early in the morning then at about 5:30pm I caught this one on a fairly large shiner. Still, for a new moon and fairly low light conditions most of the day, considering all the cloud cover I thought I would’ve caught more, proving what you told me that some lakes are just set up to be more productive than others. Thanks!!

Today, I took out Stephen Knickerbocker from San Jose, California for a 6 hour live bait / artificial fishing trip on the Butler Chain of Lakes who has been anxious to come to Florida to go fishing and today although a little slow the final tally was 16 nice fish all over 4 pounds except 2 and had 3 over 6 pounds we did lose a fish that may have been 8 or 9 pounds right at the boat, it just saw us and bolted and broke the 20lb test big game (in a snap!)

Toward the end of the trip we decided to put 4 in the live-well for a group picture (of the fish) so I had to hustle and in the last 30 minutes we caught 3 nice fish that were the average size and one of the 2 small fish that we caught, too bad that it was a 2 pounder and not another 4 or 5. We had a great day otherwise. The fishing has been phenomenal for the past several weeks and with it warming up it will only get better.

Till next time tight lines and good fishing….

Lori,

I just wanted to take time to send you a couple pictures and thank you.

Allen was great!  We talked several times leading up to today’s trip.  Sunday
we talked, and Allen let me know that the bite would probably be very stingy
today, but he thought we could still catch fish at Saddle Creek.

True to his word we had a hard time figuring the fish out today, but Allen
did everything he could to put me on some fish.  He worked hard for his
money today.  We didn’t get a large number of fish in the boat, but we did
catch one huge fish, which we estimated at 9+ pounds, which is by far the
biggest fish I have ever caught by far.  I let another at least this big or
bigger get away before we got it to the boat.  Allen was also a lot of fun
and taught me a lot about bass fishing that I can use at home, although I
don’t know if I will be able to find a fish like this at home.

I had a great time and it was well worth the money.

Thanks,
Otey

On December 28,  Monday I had Otey from Ottawa IA visiting Family in Florida for the Holiday. I met Otey at Philips Bait & Tackle and took him to Saddle Creek.  We threw lures, crankbaits and used carolina rigs.  This guy had a great time and caught his biggest bass.

Thanks Otey!

We appreciate your business and look forward to fishing with you in the future.

Till next time tight lines and good fishing….
