Largemouth Bass fishing on the Ocklawaha River has improved over the past few weeks. We’ve had several decent trips with limits of Bass being caught, along with several fish over 5 lbs. Look for conditions to improve over the next few weeks. Early morning is still your best bet for […]

The size and numbers of Largemouths being caught on the Ocklawaha River is up. On our most recent trips over half the Bass caught have been over 4 lbs. Not bad for April! I’m looking forward to the post spawn bite to get even better as summer approaches. Lately the […]
