Going to Okeechobee on my own for the first time ever, going with a buddy that's got an older nitro. What's the bite been like? Where they biting? Not asking for specific spots, just a good area to start on my own and get a feel of the big lake. I'll pass on my findings and info on Sunday or Monday. Maybe I'll go back out on Sunday

I'm really inexperienced on that lake but while camping at torry island I was consistently catching 3lbers on green pumpkin trick worms just flipping along the thick slop. This was in late June. Good luck brother. Let me know how you do.

belle glade or clewsiton?

Clewiston

I was gonna say try kreamer but depending on your boat, running from Clewiston could be challenging.

last time i was there they were pretty thick around the mouth of Uncle joes, just inside and running north in the reeds. 

Smashed em over in Pelican Bay today. Nothing over 6, but fun. Mostly everything I caught was on the inside edge of the grass. Had to go pretty far into it to find fish. Beautiful morning today. It was as flat as could be.

I ended up bailing early when the switch inside my TM died. 15 dollar part stops an 800 dollar motor cold.

Morning bite is on fire when the sun is cracked up about half way it slows down quite substantially.

 

For fun fishing you may want to consider going out at about 5:00pm till dark.
