It’s all about the timing

The Early Bird Gets the Bite Fish!

slick-charters-freshwater-glamour-shotLots of schooling Bass on the Ocklawaha River near Ocala, although the bite has slowed.

It’s all about the timing. If you can get out early enough, the fish will cooperate, but the “window of opportunity” is short.

Lately we’ve caught some really nice fish but the bite tapers off after about 8 a.m.. The early bird gets the fish!

The Heat Is On .. and So Are The Bass

This Ocklawaha Fishing Report

slick-charters-freshwater-glamour-shotTHE HEAT IS ON…AND SO ARE THE BASS

I’ve been fishing the Oklawaha River since 1982 and can’t remember the Bass fishing ever being so good in the months of June and July. 

Typically this time of year the bite slows for one reason or the other, but not this year.
 
Also, I’ve been getting reports of huge Specs (Crappie) being caught on Lake Lochloosa (Orange Lake).  Unheard of for this time of year.  Guess that just goes to show!
 
Expect the Stripers to start running up the spring fed runs off of Lake George soon. Best time to catch them is at night.  It is also the best time for a thunderstorm to develop, so BE CAREFUL!
