Super windy day on Lake Ida chain in Delray Beach, Florida, gusting over 30 mph. We just had to find the leeward areas to fish! Largemouth and peacock bass were biting though!

The Crappie bite has been on fire recently in Lake Okeechobee, we've had a lot of 100-150 fish days with some really nice 12-14in fish weighing up to Two Pounds! We've been consistently catching multiple limits in just a few hours with people of all ages!

Mike was an amazing host. Took my 9 year old grandson who doesn’t fish very much and taught him quickly how to live line shiners for some very large bass. We went through 4 dozen baits in three hours and I am guessing we caught around 20 bass up to 8 pounds. He has the patience you need and a lot of fun to fish with. Highly recommend!

We fished for crappie, caught Cichlid ( which were delicious), Bass, Bluegill and shell crackers not to mention crappie Captain Reinaldo is very knowledgeable on lake okeechobee. I would definitely book another trip when I come back to Florida. I’m an avid crappie fisherman he did everything I would have done Robert Killen Smithville Tn
