Florida Vacation 2025
Bass fishing on Lake Okeechobee March 9-25 My brother and I have been fishing Okeechobee for around 20 years now, we always stay at Rolland Martins, and rent a boat from Jolly Rogers. We spent most of our time during our 17 day bass fishing marathon in a community hole. Our first week most ofContinue reading “Florida Vacation 2025”
Fishing Before Work
June 26 I dragged a cut-plug herring around for a couple hours before work, and got one right before I had to head in.
Naha River May 11
Fished the river for the first time in around 20 years, and other than a little gravel around the dock it looks like the trail hasn’t seen any maintenance since then and I wouldn’t attempt it in the rain without calked boots. We started out trying for steelhead but did catch some nice trout, soContinue reading “Naha River May 11”

We managed to catch fish every day though we were often dressed like we were fishing for Winter Kings at home in Alaska than LargemouthContinue reading “Bass Fishing on Lake Okeechobee 2022”
Jigging and Whale Watching
I went fishing with my brother last weekend. The fishing was okay, we caught several small to medium sized lingcod, a few rockfish and a small halibut. We let everything go but 1 lingcod. The dozen or so orcas and 2 humpback whales that passed by were the highlights of the trip.
Florida Bass Fishing Vacation Part 4
We spent a few more days on Okeechobee and finished the trip clobbering the peacock bass and other fish in the Tamiami Canal. For peacock bass I used a white 2 inch rubber worm (1/2 of a 4 inch worm) just slightly longer than my hook which I rigged exposed, and Andy used a littleContinue reading “Florida Bass Fishing Vacation Part 4”
