Lake Okeechobee is alive and well. Water levels are rising and that is a good thing, but what’s even better is that it is rising slowly. This helps the vegetation to keep up with the water as it rises and doesn’t die off because of higher water. Capt. Eddie PerrySep 29th, 2015
October has arrived here in Florida and that means pumpkins, Halloween, and the start of cooler weather for some much needed relief for bass and man. It has been another very hot summer here in Florida but we have had a good amount of rain and the water level is going to be high enough to get us through the winter and spring.Capt. Mark KingSep 29th, 2015
I wait all year to say this, "Red" October, and yes, I am a big Sean Connery fan. October is the month when the schools of 30 pound plus Red Fish come home to Charlotte Harbor. During this month you’ll find them on the sand bars in front of Bull Bay, Turtle Bay, Jug Creek Shoals, and across over to the burnt store on the east side from Pirate Harbor south to Two Pines. Through-out October you should be seeing massive Reds feeding along the sand bars. Fishin' FranksSep 28th, 2015
Rain, rain, go away!! Hopefully with October here the summer rains will start to subside. This has got to be one of the wettest I’ve seen in a long time. I’m often asked if all this rain affects the fishing. I think the fish in Charlotte Harbor get used to the freshwater but on the other hand it does affect the bait.Capt. Dave StephensSep 28th, 2015
October is my favorite month of the year. The mullet run should be in full effect and well Halloween of course. Using top water plugs and shallow diving jerk baits will work well imitating the mullet. Snook, trout, tarpon and redfish will be working the schools that move in the river.Brian NelliSep 28th, 2015

The Peace River, located in the heart of Florida, is an amazing find. The river is a place that will transport you back in time to the Spanish Explorers. As an explorer myself, I am always on the look-out to go somewhere new and do something different.Misty WellsAug 27th, 2015
Lake Okeechobee has had its ups and downs as of late. We have had dirty water, low water, windy conditions, and all of these can make fishing tough, even on a lake as great as the Big-O. With winds blowing from the south and southeast, the water has become a bit muddy on the north end of the lake.Capt. Eddie PerryAug 26th, 2015
September is here on Lake Okeechobee and the weather is hot and the fishing has been pretty good for summer. The water level has been coming up as the rain continues to fall here in Florida and we can sure use some more north of us.Capt. Mark KingAug 26th, 2015
Over 40 years ago, in the early 70’s, the Bulldog BassMasters, a local club that I was a member of, fished a wide variety of lakes in northeast Ohio. One of them, Mosquito Reservoir was noted for its huge walleye population.Don NortonAug 26th, 2015
As the summer heat continues to bake Lake Okeechobee and area lakes, September is prime time to present frogs to hungry bass and the Pro-Z Bait Frog series is made with this in mind. Okeechobee EditionAug 26th, 2015

One of the most popular inshore game fish in south Florida is the snook which are known for their fighting ability as well as their table fare. The word snook comes from the Dutch word “snoek” meaning pike.Okeechobee EditionAug 26th, 2015
In recent months CAM Okeechobee has presented a series of articles discussing the various aquatic plant zones within Lake Okeechobee. The series would not be complete without a discussion on algae.Okeechobee EditionAug 26th, 2015
Hey boys & girls out there in the land of fish; the weather has not been great for going fishing but the fishing has gotten a lot better over the last couple of weeks when we can get out there. Fishin' FranksAug 26th, 2015
Early angler gets the fish. Fishing early or late in the day is still the key through September. The flats and inlets are holding large amounts of glass minnows. Using lures to imitate these baits will be your best bet. Fishing the inlets, docks and bridges will continue to be a great option.Brian NelliAug 26th, 2015
Rain has been in the forecast here in Florida the last few weeks. The Peace River is very high and all of its tributaries such as Horse Creek are dumping plenty of freshwater. The past few weeks the waters in Charlotte Harbor have become darkened due to this.Okeechobee EditionAug 26th, 2015
