I was planning on fishing out of Moorehaven this weekend. Some of my club buddies fished out of Belle Glade last weekend and they said it was real slow. One 4 lb and the rest were dinks. A lot of dead fish of all types were floating or under water.

Any current updates?

Some questions.

Would the rotting fish cause the fish to stop biting because of the chemistry of the water or is it more likely that the water temps last weekend (52-58) caused the bite to fall off?

Will the loss of the majority of the exotics be beneficial to the bass, crappie and bream population in the long run?

My sense is that Florida strain bass don't react well to change. There has been a heck of a lot of change these past couple weeks with the water being so cold and now warming up again. Some stability would be good. That being said, I am hearing some good reports particularly of fish coming up on beds. I think the key is find some clean water and go fishing. In the Open last week the bite evolved from a flip bite to a chase bite over the three days with Horny Toad/Cane Toads and Skinny Dippers. I think it's going to get good soon-hopefully this weekend as I have a club T out of Clewiston

so how'd ya do kevin? sorry i was short on the phone. i had a couple of high octane cocktails. fished lox today and stroked them.

With the gusty winds on Sunday, I decided to postpone the trip to Moorehaven until next weekend. Instead, I went out to Lox and caught 4 (1.5 -3 lb) in 60 minutes flippin wat/red flukes across from the first spillway. My trolling motor quit on me so I had to pack up early. I hear sawgrass is hot. Some of my club buddies slayed them on Saturday.
