Florida Wild Shiner Bass Fishing Report: March 2003

Florida Wild Shiner Bass Fishing Report: March 2003

Florida bass fishing reports for each month of the 2003, 2002, 2001, 2000, 1999 and 1998 calendar years that describe the amount and size of bass caught, the Florida shiner and artificial lure 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 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.

High water conditions which has Okeechobee's bass bunched up in the weedy areas, making them hard to catch, is not producing as many bass catches for my wild shiner guide fishing parties. These results would get better as the lake water gets lower. My guide parties are landing some trophy bass in spite of Okeechobee's high water and gale force wind conditions. We should have a large spawn this month and during April.Trophy bass fishing outlook for the rest of the month and the month of April should be excellent!

Cap'n Ron,
Thank you so very much!! The fishing trip you provided for Monica and
myself was absolutely wonderful. I believe I was more excited then her when
she landed that 6 3/4 lb'er. The air boat ride was also an experience we
will never forget, and of course I can still see red dog standing on the
front of the boat just waiting for a bird to go by. I have already
recommended your services to a number of my friends and will continue to
highly recommend you to anyone who wants to go fishing for a "trophy bass."

Sincerely,

Dana Earl & Monica Hensley

Captain Ron,

The trip was excellent. The amount of fish varied, obviously, per boat. Our boat did the best. Our two day total was around two dozen bass, a couple of gar and one mudfish. The other boats did pretty good, but overall it was somewhat slow. That was probably more to do with the water temperature and the fact that we opted to use artificial lures in most of the boats. The size of fish, though, was better than below average days around here. We all know about Danny's 8.5 lb'er, but he also caught a 5 lb'er that morning. Being from north of the Mason-Dixon line you should know that a 5 is a real big fish for us. Jason, who was with me, also caught his biggest fish--a 5 lb'er--albeit on a shiner (we all told him it doesn't count). I caught a 4.5 lb bass as well. The other fish caught were upwards of 2.5-3.5 lbs.

Hope to see you again next year.

Andrew Grimes
