Stoty Posted January 29, 2009 Report Posted January 29, 2009 Now that I have your attention...lol. Just wondered if anyone has had success fishing Okeechobee? My buddy just offered me a 12 day trip, staying at his grandparents place, to fish Okeechobee from March 18-29. We will be launching out of Clewiston, and running in his 21ft Ranger with 225. So anywhere on the Lake is fish-able. Obviously the lake is pretty weed-choked, but just wondering if anyone has found a certain technique(s) seem to outproduce others? Cheers, *Stoty

Kirk Posted January 29, 2009 Report Posted January 29, 2009 Don't let the ex hear about any new found wealth...LOL Nothing brings a dog back into the bushes with her nose on the ground than the smell of money.
darsky Posted January 29, 2009 Report Posted January 29, 2009 no matter how warm it is-DON'T dip feet in the water
GBW Posted January 29, 2009 Report Posted January 29, 2009 Stoty, check out Scott Martin's site as I think it's his home lake so there may be tips there... just guessing though...
Radnine Posted January 29, 2009 Report Posted January 29, 2009 hahaha....naw just recently single! hahah I guess I won't mention my new 46" HDTV with wireless surround sound either How did you score alimony?
Greencoachdog Posted January 30, 2009 Report Posted January 30, 2009 Live Golden Shiner fishin' is the way to go for the big boys!!! Artificials won't catch much over 3 lbs.... unless you hook a Alligator on a buzzbait!
holdfast Posted January 30, 2009 Report Posted January 30, 2009 Don't let the ex hear about any new found wealth...LOL Nothing brings a dog back into the bushes with her nose on the ground than the smell of money. I almost lost my noodles on that one

Jigger Posted January 30, 2009 Report Posted January 30, 2009 I'm living vicariously through you Stoty. Have an awesome time man!
rbaquial Posted January 30, 2009 Report Posted January 30, 2009 I remember watching a couple TC shows of doing SHINER FISHING at Lake Okeechobee...and as HOLDFAST mentioned, they were using BALLOONS as their bobbers...? Hope you have fun!! Report back to us with pics... I heard there are PIGS in that lake!
Stoty Posted January 30, 2009 Author Report Posted January 30, 2009 Ya, I've done the whole live shiner thing, but this time, my buddy and I are going with only artificials. P.S - Let's just say that my (soon to be) ex-wife, has A LOT more to lose than I do! So...if she wants to play hardball...so be it! I will end up with a 21ft Ranger, brand new SUV and my own house!
Greencoachdog Posted January 30, 2009 Report Posted January 30, 2009 Ya, I've done the whole live shiner thing, but this time, my buddy and I are going with only artificials. I'd go with BIG plastics then, 12" plastic worms and 8-10" plastic lizards!
Stoty Posted January 30, 2009 Author Report Posted January 30, 2009 Both of which, I do not have living in Ontario! haha Thanks GDC, I'll have to keep my eyes open at the Spring Fishing Show in a few week!
