What anglers said about fishing in South Bay

According to Captain Wood we couldn’t go far into the lake due to controlled water levels. So where you can go may be limited if they are letting water out like this season.

Learn the techniques more than focusing on all the flashy bait. Learn and know the types of poles that are best for fishing largemouth bass. Always come with a beginner's mindset and you will leave happy.

It’s hot, but there’s a good breeze and we still caught a good amount of fish.

Water is fairly shallow so it does not get rough. Few weeds and obstructions. Easy fishing.

Certain times of the year are better than others. We went during a slower time and still caught plenty of quality fish

A cold front had just gone through so the fish weren’t biting. I would recommend planning a trip from the middle of March through May, if possible.

Don’t expect to go fully into Lake Okeechobee, as water levels run low in May, making it so you’re forced to fish the islands and canals on the perimeter of the lake. While you may not catch trophy fish, the bite is still extremely hot and you will put plenty of good fighting and good sized fish in the boat.
