Summer is behind us and we have been having some great weather. The mornings have been nice and cool with nice warm sunny days. The water in the harbor is still tanned from the late rains that we had the last couple months. That should begin to clear up. Capt. Dave StephensOct 26th, 2015
Good day my friends in the land of fish, a fine howdy do and now let’s get to the fish. At the beginning of this year people were saying there are no Redfish, aliens had abducted them and they were on their way to Alpha Centauri.Fishin' FranksOct 26th, 2015
The fall season is now upon us, and as many fisherman know, bass fishing in October, November and December is often some of the best bass fishing of the year. Don NortonOct 26th, 2015
Although I don't get a chance to fish every lake in Highlands, Polk, or Okeechobee Counties to report on the fishing activity, I do fish many of the lakes on a regular basis and I often get the chance to talk with other fishermen who’ve fished the lakes as well. Don NortonOct 26th, 2015
Fall has arrived, that being said we are still in a bit of a summer pattern. Early morning fishing is by far the best right now, water levels are still rising but not fast, and the bass are on the move.Capt. Eddie PerryOct 26th, 2015

We’ve all been there before, we’re getting dressed for a night out on the town and you sense something is missing so you put on something extra, you put on some ‘bling’. So why not dress up that plastic worm of yours by adding a small spinner blade to the tail.Okeechobee EditionSep 29th, 2015
It is well known that Florida is home to a wide range of non-native plants and animals. The Burmese python is one of these that has established a foothold.Okeechobee EditionSep 29th, 2015
I know it's been a long hot summer but we're seeing some ducks early this year. Teal have been available early and late in the day along with some nice bass. The problem has been the heat, nobody wants to be out on the lake too long.Capt. Chris ChesleySep 29th, 2015
As summer begins to draw to a close, bass fishing enters a new chapter in south-central Florida and specifically at Lake Istokpoga. Water temperatures in the high 80’s and even the low 90’s in some areas will begin to cool and the baitfish, which seemed to disappear during the summer months will become much more evident in the shallower water as bass begin their seasonal migration, eating everything in sight in preparation for the cooler months ahead and eventually the spawn.

My first fishing rod was a hand-me-down from my father back in the 60’s. A 6’, medium action spinning rod, coupled with a Mitchell 300 reel was all I needed to tackle bass, walleye and panfish. Don NortonSep 29th, 2015
