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.

The Bass are Back In Town
Limits of keeper Bass continue to be caught on the Oklawaha River in the Ocala National Forest, although getting to them can be a little tricky.
Recently we fished an old haunt of mine about halfway between Gores Landing and the Silver River confluence, but it took some fancy maneuvering to get there…lots of fallen trees and snags.
The man upstairs came through again and answered our prayers for rain. No doubt it will improve the fishing, as well as other things.
Call me an incurable optimist, but I think things are looking up. The fish are biting, gas is cheaper than this time last year, and we all woke up this morning…Count your blessings….

TIMING IS EVERYTHING
Although the water level on the Ocklawaha River near Ocala continues to drop, the Bass fishing has picked up. Recently we have had no problem limiting out on “keeper” Largemouths and several “lunkers” over 6 lbs..
This time of year the fish bite best early in the a.m. or late in the p.m.. Coincidentally, it’s also a very comfortable time of day to fish.
Best bait as always: “You either got wild shiners, or you need ‘em”.
