Lake Okeechobee Started On Fire Ended In A Simmer

2.24.15-3.5.15

The annual Big O fish derby was a 10 day event this year.

The lake was on fire as we started fishing on Tuesday, but a strong cold front and strong east winds confined our fishing to the inside of the south and west side of the lake.

The Larson fishing team brought some nice fish to the boat, the Chandler side brought some nice fish in too, but certainly not as many.

The first couple of days an area the size of a couple of football fields yielded more than 250 bass, many in excess of 4 lbs.  The day was filled with the two boats yelling back and forth the size of the fish they caught.  At the end of each day we said that was just stupid fishing.  But as usual bass fishing can take a turn and this turn after a cold front slid through was a big turn.

Some days we caught 50+ bass, but most were bucks.  Other days it was tough to get 15 to the boat.

Here is a photo essay of the fish brought boat side that smiled to get their picture taken.
