What anglers said about fishing in Lake Okeechobee

I would say that Okeechobee was an interesting place to fish because not only do you catch fish but you see other animals as well. We saw about twenty gators, one pig, and bunch of birds. So it was great for nature goers!

We had great fishing, but because of the wind we didnโ€™t fish out of Clewiston. We fished out of the Everglades.

Take your time, listen to the captain, get live bait, toss lures into the vegetation, dark colors worked better on our day. Do strong hook-sets.

Wait until February when the water gets warmer and be sure there are no big fishing events the week before. Clients should be advised of these things BEFORE they book.

I think it depends on your guide and Capt. William Wood knows where they hide and how to draw them out and how to get them to the boat.

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

Our guide knew where the fish were. So we put in a little south! Make sure your guide is worthy like Captain John was!

Listen to the captain for catching large mouth bass. Once you get the feel and hang of it, itโ€™s awesome fishing
