Okeechobee!!

Not going to give y'all boys that many detail due to upcoming FCC club tournament! I took a little trip down to chobee yesterday to fish with a friend and get a feel for the lake since we have the tourney coming up and I had never been to the lake before! We fished all day from Indian Prairie down to the big pier and back again before we finally found fish and boy when we found em it was on!!! Caught a 3 man limit of quality fish in a little over 2 hours and had to leave then http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...0ccac63ed6.jpgchewing!!!

Yea I think you found some fish alright. Good luck come tourney day.

Not sure if they're big enough to put me in the money but it'll be close

Yep, that's the mother-load = this cold spell appears to be bunching them up...had to be O-lot-of fun thanks for sharing

I'll be down there for a week starting next Saturday. Can't wait to wet a line.

Good bunch of fish guys. Finding them in numbers like that is sure nuff fun.

No I want be able to make it, I've got a prior commitment. I wouldn't mind making a trip down there just to fish. Looks like it would be fun.

Great job, thanks for sharing, Good Luck with the Tourney! :ThumbsUp

WOW!! What a bunch of nice fish.

The fishing is good for sure Marvin the full moon coming up should really have the big ones primed up! I'm heading to crescent this weekend for my gf birthday! Hopefully we can get on some fish I've never been there either

Wow that's a lot of filleting, nice haul.

Have a great time..Crescent has some big ones..only fished it 3 times with the FCC but had some good success..good luck..I think we fish there again in March..

I'll be out there third week of march at south end. Looks like you caught those around Kings bar area just a guess.

That area!!!

NICE FISH

:cheers2Very nice mess of fish, best report I've seen from Okeechobee in a while - good luck in tournament !!

Great report Nick, your on the right track -looks like you got into aera that
the Yankee's haven't beat the reeds / cane to death.
Time your run back to launch, weigh in - both ways on trailer / on water

Wonderful pictures - "what a day" is crappie fishing fun

Anyone jigging in the reeds etc? I plan to give it a go next week.
Joe

Seen plenty of people jigging in the reeds around grasses island

Unbelievably windy this week. My son coined a new name (Oceanchobee).

You are so correct - it can get a little out on the Big O, when that happens - time to go up river and
fish the drop offs.................
They are almost all the time in that water................Spider riggin comes into play

Usually I fish cork and hook around the edges of the grass in between the hydrilla, I can cover more ground and move on with one pole. I'll be out there in two weeks out of slims going back to the west.

Just got back from a week of fishing the North side in the Buckhead ridge area. Had a great time & caught lots of fish. Several different species. You guys are so lucky to have such a wonderful resource. Can't wait to go back next year.

It's like that year round, sounds like you had a fun time fishin'

Great mess of fish. From the smiles looks like you had a blast.

Wind settled down?
Any recent reports of Crappie in reeds etc?

I think it's only a steady 30mph, good luck. I'll be out there in two weeks and post conditions and catch.

Anyone have a recent report on shallow water crappie?
