Lake Okeechobee Bass Fishing Report:
February 2002

bass fishingFlorida bass fishing reports for each month of the 2002, 2001, 2000, 1999 and 1998 calendar years that describe the amount and size of bass caught, the Lake Okeechobee Florida bass fishing techniques used by guides to catch them, the areas of Lake Okeechobee that produced the best bass fishing action, and other bass fishing information is contained in our Lake Okeechobee Florida bass fishing reports. To ensure validity the angler's name address, city, state, phone number, e-mail address, date and year the party fished is also included in every fishing report.

The Lake Okeechobee bass fishing should be excellant this month. Unusual warm weather conditions that hit Florida with tempertures in the 80's will help to put the water temperture in the spawn range. The trophy bass fishing during this month is one of the peak times to be here. Take advantage of our special rate and come on down!

Ron-

Other than the weather the trip was great. We didn't go home with trophy bass but Wilson and I both caught bass the first day out and considering the weather I'm still pleased that we caught fish.

Hi Cap'n Ron,

Just wanted to say thanks for the fishing experience. The weather sucked
but Dave and I still had a swell time fishin' with Cap'n Ken. He's a good
ol' boy and we were lucky to have a guide so full of "Bullshit".
Please tell him thanks again and we will try to catch more MudFish next
time, as we will fish only with him..... provided he gets his aerator fixed.
Thanks again. Regardless of the weather, we endured and so did Ken. He is
alot like Dave and I when it comes to fishin'. Hot, cold, wind, rain, or
shine. He's a trooper and a "KEEPER". We look forward to another fishing
trip in the near future. Let me know if you got any good specials coming up
for guys from Virginia who love to fish and kinda know how.

Durrett "D" McSpadden

We had a WONDERFUL time!! Granted it was windy and the fish weren't biting like gangbusters. But we loved our guide Ray Maimone and had a great time. We will definitely consider using your services if we can ever get back there again! We each caught some bass every day. I believe the largest was over 5 lbs. (not big by Okeechobee standards, but definitely fun) Somehow, I even caught a seagull.
Thank you so much for some wonderful fun and memories. we will send along some photos if you would like,
Thanks again,
Sandy & Wayne
