Targeting largemouth in the Everglades and caught a few Peacock Bass. Aggressive rips was the key that day to trigger bites. St Croix LBTS 68 MXF rod paired with a Daiwa 3000 Ballistic MQ and 12 LB Floro was the delivery weapon that day! Oh what fun!

Saturday was a great day on Okeechobee Speck (crappie) fishing. I took my wife’s coworker/ friend and his son. We vertical jigged Jenko’s Kevin Roger warhead jig with the afterburner disco and the white knight in the Eagle Bay Area around scattered Cattail in five to seven of water. Temp early was 63 it heated up to 82 by mid day. The water temp stayed around 73 degrees. We caught around 80 fish in a six hour period. We kept 40 for a fish fry as it was his son’s birthday.
