I had the pleasure of fishing with the Puryear family on Saturday and then Sunday fished with Rick and Will. The trips were very similar with one trip catching 65 fish and the other catching 57. The Puryear family caught 65 fish up to 6lbs and the average fish weighed 3 lbs. This was the…
Captain Brad Gibson is catching some of the biggest crappie of his life this year, with good numbers in the mix as well. Trips have caught several crappie over 1 1/2 lbs with some catching fish in the 2 lb range as well. Trips have averaged 30-75 crappie depending on how long the trip is.…
I had the opportunity to fish with Laynce Nix twice over the last few days here on Lake Okeechobee and for Laynce’s first trip down, Lake Okeechobee didn’t disappoint.
