Anyone with info?

Bassin Blvd is right. But if you've made up your mind to fish there Zara Spooks work well and you might get some peacocks on it as well. Fish traps outside the campground. Just a few things that come to mind.

In a boat or bank fishing? Many tournaments out of there. At times it can be some good fishing. I have not been there in a while. Bob

Congratulations. Bocabasser.

Nice Bass. Thanks for your service. Bob

Interesting they are having this in the middle of the month.

Thanks Todd that helped me out as well Bob

I agree. It's been a different winter out there this year. I say it's something in that water. But yet there have been some nice fish being caught at sawgrass so go figure. I'm with you. Cant wait till it comes back

Nice. Thanks

Hit sawgrass

Timing just was wrong for you. With the front that blew through I'll bet it was really rough out there today. There were several tournaments this weekend. But I have not heard how they faired. To bad you are leaving so soon. Next weekend maybe a whole different thing. Lately it's been taking well over 20# to cash a check. Bob

I was waiting on this post...The best way is to just have a CCW. Make life a whole lot easier. Thanks

And yes a CCW is a must. In fact I do beleave here in Florida you can open carry while fishing off shore or in the glades. If there is a LEO here maybe he can confirm. I have never seen anyone do it though.

That sucks. But going forward would the lesson be if at all possible point the bow into the wind then clean the prop? just asking.

You know I have fished HP a lot of years like most of you. A lot of times there have been high waters. So why is it so much worse this year? Part of me thinks it's the Ph in the water. Something is different this year. Not sure what.

Rob, I was wondering how that turned out. I went to the lake myself and wacked them. The cloud cover really had that top water bite going most of the day.Guess the park still struggling. Bob

By the way my bass pro mustang inflatable is a type II and does not have be worn. Bob

Bugman, Good luck I'll be on the South End Bob

It's funny you use the term "Shallow Water Sailors" But the regulations or State Status are pretty much the same whether the vessel is in five feet of water or off shore in two hundred feet. Now once we start talking larger vessels that's a whole other animal. I know in Florida there are plenty of waters with no bouys or channel markers. But vessels are still supose to follow the "rules of the road" so to speak.

Most folks do not realize the power the FWC has in Florida. No other law enforcement officer with exception of the FDLC has more power. These guys can conduct traffic stops, arrest, as well as seize property.

Just one other thing most boaters forget. Those flares. They have expiration dates. If the Coast Guard, Sheriff asks to see them they'll check those dates. Yep, you can get a ticket for that.

Well I beg to differ on the regulations. This came up when I took my Captians Course in Ft Lauderdale Fl. The Coast Guard does not normally patrol or respond to "Inland Waters" That is patroled by the FWC and the local Sheiff of the County or Township where the waters are located. Now in most cases the FWC "Florida WildLife Commision" Regulations mirror the Coast Guards but once in a while you'll find a few differences. Lake Okeechobee is patroled by the FWC and the Sheriff.

Probably need to get this battery load tested. Almost sounds like its getting a surface charge only. I'll bet its bad.

Dude you got some good info to go by. I've seen tournaments won on rattle traps in the area's they spoke about. Peacocks around the bridge as well. Thank those guys. They gave you good info. I may be out there this weekend as well. Bob

Nice video Shane.
