Now that is a bit different than what I am used to.
I want to be at their house when they’re done catching and start cookin!! That looked GOOD!!
That’s a bit too far into the cane for me but it does work. Good video.
That motor's reverse is 1 cool accessory, would be interesting to see how it would fair in thick hydrilla, like the lake attached to Fox lake out by you, I think they call it Grass lake. I also like his point on harvesting, keeping in mind the size of that body of water, of course....

Is fox lake or south lake worth fishing for bass or specks? I have never been there by boat and have been wanting to go explore it with my flats boat.Quote:

and had to resort to goosing the motor, then lifting the foot out of the water = dumping the hydrilla off the foot, then goosing the motor again to gain some few yards distance, then repeat
procedure until I finally got back out of the lake and back into the canal ..... Ain't been back .................... (haven't ever heard of them re=doing South lake) ......
All this happened around 2002 or so , been long long long time ..........
I have been back to Fox lake for different events, even putting my boat in and running around in the lake. Have seen a few folks fishing but couldn't say whether they were doing any good or not.
I would love to have that boat. What a rig.
Pretty much typical of how lots of Speck fishing is done at Okeechobee.
I bought one of those B n M Whitey Outlaw rods with no guides, the line runs thru the pole and out the tip.
Works pretty well for that type presentation.
Notice they did move to an area not as thick, so consider some of it for what it is, a boat add.
You can do it pretty well with just regular boats, lots of people do.
Yea, I have a subscription to blue Gabe rig is 30K.
Like Danny said, got stuck myself in that South lake a few yrs back, only thing I can add is within the hydrilla mats there were holes maybe 10 ft in diameter & was loaded with smaller 1-2lb bass on the edges....Fox lake does have specks, but very small body of water...Quote:

I usually would agree with you, except he has videos from a few years back doing the same in his Blackjack Bay Boat,Quote:

Looks a lot cleaner less to hang up. Can someone recommend a good tackle and bait store on the north end of lake Okeechobee. I noticed he was using a fly fishing real. What is the advantageQuote:

Fast Break tackle shop in Okeechobee supposedly carries ACC. Rear reel seat rods have an easier balancing factor when one-poling. I would recommend 10 or 11 footer. The rod tip section replacement(if ever needed) is 20 dollars vs. $30 for 12/13's.

Thanks for the info. I will check that out as soon as I get there. In the meantime merry Christmas to allQuote:
