2012 EverStart event at Lake Okeechobee

Posted On December 15, 2011
With 2012 fast approaching FLW opens with the EverStart event on the (Big O) Lake Okeechobee Fl. During this event the fish will be in a pre spawn and spawn mode, with grass beds being the main target areas along with the ditches that lead to them. Popular techniques include punching grass mats, casting frogs, swim baits, and spinnerbaits. These techniques can produce huge 5 fish limits, some over 30lbs. Site fishing will also play a major part in hooking up with these giants. Lures such as the Bed Bug by Garneau Baits matched up with an ABU Garcia 7"3 Vendetta med heavy rod and the Revo 7:1 ratio reel can produce some great catches. The Garneau Buzz Frog offers great top water action.

Stay tuned for results from this event that will come later.

Late winter early spring

Early spring brings cold mornings and hot bites. This time of the year bass in the south are moving toward spawning flats by way of ditches, stopping off on points and feeding along the way. Lightweight slow falling jigs with big profiles can produce big bites. Swallow running crankbaits and lipless crankbaits, along with lizards, hard and soft jerk baits also prove to be big producers.
