FLORIDA
BASS FISHING REPORT SEPTEMBER 1999 The month of September has
come in with hot days, heavy rain showers and cooler mornings
and evenings. These changes have helped the Florida bass fishing
to a certain degree. Schooling bass are chasing shad in the open
areas of lake Okeechobee.
Chuck Tudor (Homestead,
FL - ph: 305-247-9846) caught 22 bass up to 9 lbs. during 2 half days (Sept. 28 & 29, 1999)
of Florida wild shiner fishing with Ron's Guide Service. Bass,
all of which except the 9 lb'er were released, were taken on the
North Shore of Okeechobee.
Milton Henry and his son (Durham, NC - e-mail: milton.henry@mindspring.com)
caught and released 35 bass up to 5 3/4 lbs. during 2 half days (Sept. 20 & 21, 1999)
of Florida wild shiner fishing with Ron's Guide Service. These
guys came during tropical storm Harvey and fished in the heavy
wind and rain conditions it produced. The storm conditions really
turned the bass on. Bass were taken in the secluded cuts along
Okeechobee's Harney Pond Canal.
Jeff Schadle and wife (Vinton, IA - ph: 319-472-5395) caught only
5
bass up to 6 1/2 lbs. during
2 half days (Sept. 6 & 7, 1999) of Florida wild shiner fishing
with Captain Ron. The poor fishing Jeff experienced we figure
was due to heavy evening showers and very hot days. The 6 1/2
lb'er however made Jeff's day. A fish of this size is a trophy
in the state of Iowa! Bass were taken on Okeechobee's North Shore
in the open pockets scattered throughout the open water weed beds.
All the bass were released.
Larry Bridges and his son Larry (Delray, FL - e-mail: penny@juno.com)
caught and released 11 bass up to 6 3/4 lbs. during 2 half days (Sept. 3 & 4, 1999)
of Florida wild shiner fishing with Captain Ron. Larry sr. caught
the 6 3/4 lb'er. Bass were taken on the North Shore of Okeechobee.
