The recent cold weather and rain has cooled of lake temperatures and kicked started the winter patterns. The Crappie bite through-out the area is in full gear. You may have to search around to find a group of them but when you do, you’ll find the bite very active.Okeechobee EditionJan 14th, 2016
Gray skies and a chance of rain won’t stop this weekend’s fishing. The BFL Tournament is going out of C. Scott Driver this weekend and the King of the Glades is going out of Roland Martin’s on Sunday. Male bass have been steady in the beds and females are beginning to show up. These next few weeks should be good times for all local lakes. Okeechobee EditionJan 7th, 2016

The first thing I think of is Hank Williams Jr. and his famous song when I hear that phrase. Riding in the truck with my son Brennan, listening to music on his playlist “Family Tradition” came on and he was quite impressed I knew all the words.Misty WellsDec 30th, 2015
The Big-O is in its fall pattern right now, but winter is right around the corner. Water temperatures have been in the high 70s and low 80s which are great temperatures for catching just about everything on this lake. Bass fishing has been very good with live shiners, but very tough with artificials.Capt. Eddie PerryDec 30th, 2015
So far the Lake Okeechobee duck season looks as if it is off to a slow or late start. There seems to be more hunters than ducks. Those few flocks that are spotted in December were getting sky blasted by trigger happy hunters. Capt. Chris ChesleyDec 30th, 2015
January is here and the bass on Okeechobee are really starting to turn on now that the water temperature is finally dropping a little. We are catching really good numbers from twenty to forty bass a day with a few really good ones mixed in from day to day. Capt. Mark KingDec 30th, 2015
Pompano, bluefish, jacks and Spanish mackerel become more of the focus in January. I like to target areas near the inlets like the mouth of the Loxahatchee River in Jupiter and Sailfish Flats in Stuart. Brian NelliDec 30th, 2015
Well fellow anglers for me it’s time for long johns and jig heads, must be winter time. No the long johns are not some hot new secret lure. Their main function is to keep this Florida boy warm. To me there’s nothing I hate more than being cold while I am out fishing. Jig heads come into play for me during the colder winter months when shrimp become the bait of choice. Capt. Dave StephensDec 30th, 2015
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.Fishin' FranksDec 30th, 2015
Bass fishing over the last few weeks of November and into the early days of December has not been without its challenges. For those of you who have been on the water, you’re all too aware of the windy conditions since mid-November. Don NortonDec 30th, 2015
The Fluke series of baits by Zoom are a tried and true tournament competitor. Available in five sizes and a wide variety of colors there is a Fluke to handle just about any condition or presentation. They can be fished weightless with a simple off-set hook, they can be fished with a Carolina, Drop Shot, or Texas Rig, and they can be added onto a weighted jig or spinner for extra action.
