A Florida Bass Fishing Report: March 1998

A FLORIDA BASS FISHING REPORT:
MARCH 1998

I have managed to put together a Florida bass fishing report for the month of March. My Florida bass fishing guide parties have been consistently catching good numbers of trophy Florida bass. The Florida wild shiner is of course the only bait that will really entice a big bass. Trophy size bass have been holding in large numbers along the North Shore of Lake Okeechobee. Guides have been doing good drifting the open areas as well as anchoring down off the weed lines.

Bob Doyle (Wilmington, MA - e-mail: Bob.Doyle@fmr.com) caught and released approximately 70 bass during 3 days (Mar. 28, 29, 30, 1998) of wild shiner fishing with Ron's Guide Service. The three largest bass weighed in at 8 1/2 lbs., 8 1/4 lbs. and 6 1/2 lbs. All fish were caught on Lake Okeechobee's North Shore.

Bill Allen (Akron, OH - ph: 330-673-8578) who caught and released 54 bass up to 7 lbs. when he last fished with Ron's Guide Service in 1995 - did on this 3 day (Mar, 25, 26, 27, 1998) trip with Bob McQuown (Chagrin Falls, OH - ph: 216-248-1288) catch and released approximately the same amount of fish including an 8 lb'er. All fish were caught on Lake Okeechobee's North Shore.

The girl's of course won! All fish were caught on the North Shore of Lake Okeechobee.

Tom Symons (Bolivar, OH - ph: 330-874-3252) during one day of fishing with Ron's Guide Service landed about 25 bass including an "11 lb'er" that was released. All fish were caught in the Hay Field of Lake Okeechobee.
