Imagine
being able to brag about your fishing and/or hunting and have
your photos posted on your web page for all your family, friends
and a young hunter's school friends to see.
The
Seminole Indian name Okeechobee actually means big water, an appropriate
title for the largest freshwater lake in the United States occurring
entirely in one state. The lake including its access canals and
rim canals is approximately 37 miles long by 30 miles wide (448,000
acres, 700 square miles) with an average depth of almost 10 feet.
It has approximate 140 miles of levee around it with an average
height of 34 feet. It is the 2nd Largest Freshwater Lake in the
U.S. To fishermen nation wide, Okeechobee is renowned for the
sheer numbers of bass it contains per acre and the fact that it
produces more Florida trophy bass over 8 pounds than any lake
in Florida and the United States!
Our full day bass fishing rate is for a 8 hour straight
day of fishing from 6:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.

first picture a 10 lb. trophy bass was caught using a shiner in
October along with 47 other bass that also included an 8 1/4 lb,
7 3/4 lb and a 6 lb'er. The second picture a 7 lb'er and 84 other
bass up to 6 lbs were caught on shiners in July. The summer months
and early fall months produce good numbers of fish as well as
trophy bass. The spawn (November - April) when the fish are bedding
is considered to be the better months to catch a trophy Lake Okeechobee
bass. Click here for

taking someone affiliated with the NAFC out fishing for free.
