Lake Okeechobee Fishing

[Mossy Oak]

Just got back from spending three days fishing Lake Okeechobee. Despite the horrible wind, we were still able to catch a bunch of fish. Here are a few.

Nice Fish.... I bet you had a time in that ocean with the wind. Those bigger Southern lakes can get rough.

It wasn't real bad early in the morning, but by mid afternoon, it was so rough that it really wasn't fun being out there. The guide said it was the worst weather they have had in a long time.

Thanks guys

Golden Shiners?

I'm not sure what kind of shiners they were, but they were expensive and about 4-5 inches long.

I used a guide through Roland Martin's Marina. I've used other guiding companies before but will stick with Roland Martin's guides the next time I go. They definitely knew what they were doing.

Golden Shiners are the bait/method to catch those big Okeechobee fish. And I am not surprised that Roland Martins guides are top notch. I think that their namesake has endured the test of time as America's best bass fisherman. KVD is obviously the top of the profession, but Roland Martin has competed at a top level long after the others of his generation had faded away.
