Subject: Lake Okeechobee & Stick marsh
THE STICK MARSH
Today I took out repeat costomers Bruce & Diane Jezek of Maryland and friend and business assoicate of theirs Scott Gotoff from Melbourne. The fishing was a little tough on the Marsh on Tuesday,with the high pressure, bluebird skys, and nil to no breeze. We started out on the SW corner on the Farm where we found all the boats,but no rods bending. After an hour went by Diane caught the first 2lb. bass on a worm. With only seeing one other boat catching a fish I decide to move around to find what I came here for. Finally, we started to work the East/West canal from the spillway to the fishermans hut. The first 100 yds. with no bites ,I decided to try something with some more action the Flappin Shad within a few cast, caught a nice 3.5lb. bass less then 5min.. later landed a 7.4lb. then Bruce hit 1 then Diane and missimg another over 5lb. After the third pass and arm tired Diane decide to sit back an fling a shiner behind the boat along the hydrilla and landing a nice 4lb. bass. With time running out and 1/2 of the shiner left they crew wanted to anchor up relax, and shiner fish, so back to the SW corner we went. Within a short time Scott, not realizing he had one on, thinking he was just stuck on some grass, set up as told, the bent over like a horse shoe, and after a nice fight landed the big fish of the day a 7.7lber to end a great day . The total fish caught today was only 9, but two of them were 7 lbers and about 8-10 misses. "TheHawghunter" also guides Lake Okeechobee, The Everglades, and Miami for The Peacock Bass the hardest fighting bass from the Amazon.

Lake Okeechobee
Talk about Lady Luck, Kathy and Burl Scherler from Colorado,went out on their first Largemouth Bass trip, and Kathy started out on the right foot. We headed out on the North end of the lake, throwing, whatelse, Flappin Shads. After about an hour of casting, Kathy, shouts out OH! I got one, me thinking she's just hung up on some eel grass, until this nice 6lb. largemouth came busting out of the water. The Colorado couple had a great day caught some fish, took a lot of nice pictures and it was just a beautiful day on the water. The nices part of meeting these people was that they invited me as their guest on their 4,000 acre farm for some pheasent hunting and fishing for rainbow trout in the streams this fall.I think there was a catch to this, they also wanted to teach me to run a carbind,so I could harvest a field while I'm staying with them,"only kidding". Fun! that's what it's all about, so come out for some of what your missing,Call "The Hawghunter" for next trip to sunny florida this winter and get out of the cold. good Fishin', Capt. Frank Carbone
