Two Florida Fishing Trips

Two Florida Fishing Trips

Lake Okeechobee Bass Fishing is turning on as we speak. The big bass that you have been waiting for are getting ready for that time of year. Two Florida Fishing Trips can keep you excited for what is to come.

I had the pleasure of fishing with Tom McCartney and Mitch Skop traveling from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and New Jersey. It was a two boat trip with Captain Mike Groshon who fished with Bruce and Bob.

We went out for two days out of the North end of Lake Okeechobee. The Florida bass fishing has been fantastic and is only about to begin.

Tom and Mitch had a great first day boating over 35 largemouth bass. The biggest bass weighed 6.5 pounds with several others in the 4 to 5 pound range.

Day 2 was also really great. The group together boated 100 fish with the biggest again being 6.5 pounds and another weighing 5 pounds. You can’t beat this action on Lake Okeechobee.

Largemouth bass are beginning to move in big time especially with the changes in weather we are experiencing. The colder to hotter weather are really turning the bite on full throttle.

We had great time fishing with this group and Tom and Mitch were awesome people to fish with. Come on down to Lake Okeechobee and don’t miss out on your adventure today.

Great day with Captain Justin on his 19’ Nitro / 200 Yamaha. He put us on bigmouth bass, bluegill, and crappie, and he knows the fish, alligators, manatees, and Florida birds as well as he knows the water. Capable boat, knowledgeable captain — we’d go again.
