Trip Summary

4/22/26 Capt Rich here. Last weekend we finally had a break in the strong winds and was able to get out. The fishing was outstanding! Customers caught good numbers of bass on artificial baits. The bluegill spawn has begun and should really be in full swing by the full moon. This is one of my favorite times of the year to fish for bass around the bluegill beds as they’re feeding on them. We have a little wind the past couple of days which has kept us close to the dock but conditions are goin to improve for the weekend.

5/10/26 Todays trip was one of those days where we caught bass till we couldn’t catch any more, we left em biting catching em on just about everything from chatterbaits spinnerbaits plastic worms and topwater. The bluegill are bedding all over the lake and the bass are terrorizing them. May and June are probably my 2 favorite months to fish Lake Okeechobeeas the bass are schooled up and feeding heavily! The weather is heating up and so is the fishing! I have plenty of open dates coming up.
