Hi Ron,
I have been meaning to write you and tell you how much fun we had. Even though the weather did not want to cooperate you put us on to the largest bass either of us have ever caught ( 30 bass between 3 and 7 1/2 lbs isn't bad either! ). We cannot talk about anything without bringing up our trip and the great time we had! You are a great guy and a terrific guide. On our way back to Atlanta we decided to make it a yearly trip ( if not more often ) if you can handle us! We have been telling our friends to watch the site for the photos and you did not disappoint!! You may hear from more Atlantans after this! Your service has to be the best buy on Okeechobee! We will be emailing you the other photos that we mentioned as soon as we get them scanned.

Hi
We had a great time fishing. Danny and I fished with John the first day.
We had 13 bass, biggest was 17 in. My other two sons fished with Ken they had a
lot of fish but they used worms and they said they had 25 to 3o fish but most
of them were small bucks. On the 2nd day we had 8 bass and the boys with Ken did not do to good. One of them did not get any and Glenn had 3 or 4 small bass. The weather was not very good on the 2nd day. Even with the bad weather we all had a great time. We will be back to lake Okeechobee.

Captain Ron:

Hi. I am sorry it took so long for me to respond. It has been quite
hectic at work. I sure miss the Lake and John our guide. John was a
great guide. He kept us amused with his humor and tales and certainly
kept us focused on fish.

We caught 24 bass and I pickerel. It was nice that I caught 13 and my
"older" brother caught 11 bass. We had a great time and probably 3 of
our bass approached or exceeded 5 pounds. I have already recommended
your service to several other people and plan to come back within the
next year!!!

Thanks for a great time! Though, we were there to see the Super Bowl
and our Atlanta Falcons lost, we had the time of our life. The fishing
and being at the Super Bowl were experiences of a lifetime for us. It
was nice to get to meet you at Beck's and please give John our regards.

With kindest regard,

Jim Hershey (and Rickey)
