This Ocklawaha Fishing Report
From Ocklawaha Fishing Guide Captain Nick
Be Careful Out There
We fished the Oklawaha River Saturday, 5/23, and man was it up.. About 2 feet from where it was a week ago!
The bite was slow, although we did manage a few small Bass, as well as one over four pounds. I expect the fishing to greatly improve as soon as the level stabilizes…
Our hearts go out to the families involved in the Memorial Day weekend boating fatalities on Lake George.
I can’t tell you how many times I’ve had to run from storms on that Lake, especially this time of year. The location, as well as the size of Lake George (second largest lake in the state), make it a breeding ground for bad weather. It can go from slick-calm to 6 foot sea’s in a matter of minutes…
The shame of it all is that boating “accidents” like these can be avoided. It’s never just one thing, but a series of poor decisions that puts people at risk.
Following basic safety rules and using a little common sense goes a long way.
Two of the easiest and most beneficial things one can do is, leave a float plan with someone ashore, and.
have someone monitor the local radar for approaching bad weather..My wife is an expert at this. She has saved us from a wet ass or worse many ,many times.
Again, a reminder to check on the homepage of Outdoorupdate.com for helpful links for forecasts and radars.
