Fort Myers Fishing Report: Jan. 2016

Howdy boys and girls of the wonderful fishin’ world. Here we are in a brand new year with so many fish to look forward to. I can’t help but say see-ya, good bye, farewell, glad you’re outta here 2015! 2015 was a strange year, we started out thinking the Redfish had left Charlotte Harbor and then in August we had more Reds than any year I can remember.Dec 30th, 2015

Highlands Fishing Report: Jan. 2016

Weekly Okeechobee Fishing Report: Dec. 25 – 27

This weekend should be a great weekend for fishing. With the weatherman predicting a long steady period of warm temperatures, the fish should have adjusted from last weekend’s cold snap and getting back into their pre-spawn and spawning cycles. Speck fishing has improved both in fishing duration and quality of fish taken.Dec 24th, 2015

Weekly Okeechobee Fishing Report: Dec. 18 – 20

Last week’s cool front produced good results in local Speck, bass and catfishing. This weekend’s cold front should lower water temperatures even further and entice Lake Okeechobee bass onto the beds. Dec 17th, 2015

Weekly Okeechobee Fishing Report: Dec. 11-13

Finally some cool weather has set upon us with most of the area seeing upper-50’s to low 60’s at night. According to all pundits, this is exactly what we have been waiting for to turn-on the fishing. The north and west sides of Lake Okeechobee have been on fire for shiner fishermen these last few weeks so expect conditions to improve on the rest of the lake. Dec 10th, 2015

Another weekend and yet another weather front is to play a dominate roll in this weekend’s fishing.

Lake Okeechobee North End Fishing Report: Dec. 2015

Every month when I write this report I start with the bass fishing and move onto whatever else is biting, not this month. We're gonna start with the Speck fishing. Specks are moving into the edge of the grass lines, but your best bet still remains to drift the open water. Catches of 12-inch and up fish are caught daily with numbers in the 20 to 25 range.Nov 29th, 2015

Fort Myers Fishing Report: Dec. 2015

December is the Holiday Season and a time for remembering the past, which brings me to the subject of antique fishing reels and all the questions I get about them. In the old days, pre-internet that is, determining what a reel, lure, or old rod was worth used to be simple to figure out. Nov 29th, 2015
