Any here ever fish Lake Okeechobee in FL? When would be a better time to go, June or September? Im going to take my stepson fihing in search of a 5lbs bass. We will be renting a boat. Any advise on what works best? I figured I would bring some live shiners, 6" worms texas rigged, a few jigs, some spinners, anything else? Thanks

a zoom horny toad is a killer topwater lure for places like okechobee.

Late December thru Mid Feb. is the best time for big bass and there is really one place everybody goes to catch them...its the only place that the hurricane didn't wipe out.
