Okay, I'm back to 100% health and fishing again. Just completed 2 day outing with Mr. Mathew from Alabama. Mr. Mathew wanted to experience the best of both worlds. Meaning he wanted to fish both Toho and Okeechobee. We started out Monday morning fishing Lake Toho. Water temp in early A.M was 69 degrees warming to 72 as the morning progressed. Mr. Mathew wanted to just go fishing and stated he was really looking for numbers. Well, numbers he got ! We fished the middle of the lake, concentrating on the hydrilla edge with Watermelon/Green Pumpkin (Yamamoto color 912) Senkos. No real big fish and never really had a shot at one, but we did up with several 4 and 5 pounders. We ended the day with a grand total of 57 fish, with Mr. Mathew catching the most most.

 

Fished Okeechobee Tuesday, and again Mr. Mathew wanted numbers. We started our day throwing crank baits at the mouth of several cuts running out from the rim canal to the open lake. Caught quality fish this way with the biggest being 6 lbs. but it was one little point in the rim canal that really produced for us. Mr. Mathew caught 31 schooling size bass off that one point alone. All his fish were 1 to 2 lbs , but he caught a lot of them and numbers is what the man wanted and numbers he got. Okeechobee is really getting low so be careful when venturing out. I used the ramp at Slim's and went out on my trolling motor. No problem. Just be careful !
