Okeechobee Tomorrow (5/2)

Taking the day off to do some weekday fishing. Hopefully I can wake up early enough to make the drive to the lake. Lake levels at a hair over 13 ft. Probably be going out of Slims. Anybody been hearing any reports on the south side of the lake?

Hoping to get onto a couple decent fish and test out a new prop for a bit tomorrow. Supposed to be some decent weather.

Buddy of mine went today, caught decent numbers but no size...  Slims BTW

Found good numbers and decent size out of Slims. Water around Ritta was pretty dirty. Didn't spend long there. Ended up finding a sweet spot around Kreamer that was loaded. Had 18 pounds after the first hour of fishing and slowly upgraded after. Probably finished with around 22-23. Nothing huge, but fun nonetheless.

Then I fried a piston heading back into the ramp. Happened right as I was getting ready to exit Boy Scout pass. Hopefully it's something simple like just the rings, but I'm expecting the worst. First and third cylinders have perfect compression, the number two reads absolutely zero right now. :(

Eric call my man Don at Don's Mobile Marine ;)

Went 2 weeks sgo(sorry for the delay). Had a small tourney out of Roland martins. We headed out through the pass and then south. We found an area of Kissimmee grass about a mile long with nothing but dinks. Then headed into the cattails with some mixed in pads...caught over 20lbs on Monday, over 20lbs on Tuesday and come wedneday for the tourney, 18.47lbs. No kicker that day. We had a 5,4,3,3,3. Still a decent day.

But does anyone know what that area might be called? If it has a name? It's between coots bay and the marina as far as east/west and between the big lake and the rim canal...don't know if that helps. Oh yeah, it's west of this big azz peninsula that I believe you have to run around to get to South Bay.

West wall is always a solid place to find some numbers. Size mixes in for most of the year. Up north of Roland Martin's and east of Monkey Box there's a pretty good size patch of eelgrass that holds hawgs this time of year. Cast and swim a jig and drop it when it reaches a bald spot. Boom!

   when it reaches a bald spot. Boom!

 

Hey now, leave me out of this!!!!
