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!

Captain Billy put us on the snook and we caught 4 and got a number of strikes. Only one of the snook was within the keeper range. Also landed a 10+ lb jack which was really fun to handle. Great trip.
