If you're one of those fisherman that likes to stare at his rods before a trip and say; "I need to take that one", "I may need that one", "I should probably take that one just in case", then my advice to you is "TAKE EVERYTHING".

The weird-looking fish Larry is holding is a Tilapia, that hit a rubber worm. 10-year-old Matt is a good little fishermen, and caught his share--all the while having a great time. Read More

Bass fishing on the North end of the Lake Okeechobee has been as steady and as predictable as we've ever seen. Artificial baits are accounting for large numbers of bass daily. Top water baits, flukes, skinny dippers and senkos, have been working daily. Most days artificial baits will outperform live bait, especially for numbers, shiners however do account for more of the big bass that are caught than artificials. We have… Read More
