FLORIDA BASS FISHING
REFERENCES FROM: NORTH
CAROLINA
Florida bass fishing references
from the State Of North Carolina. I have put together a Lake Okeechobee
bass fishing report of trophy bass caught using shiners by North
Carolina residents. Their name,
address, home phone number and e-mail address (if they have one) are also included
so as to verify the contents and afford prospective clientele
the opportunity to get first hand information from folks who have
fished with our guide service.
Gary and
Connie Barnes (Henderson, TN - ph: 901-989-3745 - e-mail: CTW6998@aol.com) caught
and released about 20 bass up to 4 lbs during 1 day (Mar. 21,
1999) of wild shiner fishing with Ron's Guide Service. Bass where
caught in the Monkey Box area of Lake Okeechobee.

Subject: Re: Fishing trip
The fishing was a little
slow and we didn't catch any fish that we could brag
about, (lie about yes). Although a great time was had by my wife
and myself.
Ken really tried hard to put us on fish but with a tournament
going on and the
weather conditions less than desirable he had his work cut out
for him. We
could tell Ken was discouraged some, please let him know we had
a great time and he did a fantastic job with what he had to work
with. He even taught
Connie how to flip a shiner into the openings in the grass.
Again we had a great time
and we'll be back.

caught the 7 lber. All 80 bass were caught in the North

Emmett
Windham (Cary, NC - ph: 919-468-0423) and Wayne Cobb (Apex, NC
- ph: 919-362-5555) caught 32 bass using shiners during the 3
days (April 14 - 16, 1998) they fished lake Okeechobee with Rons
Guide Service. Although the fishing was very slow due to heavy
winds that pounded the lake they did manage to land a 7 1/2 and
a 6 1/4 lber along with about eight bass that ran from 5
- 5 1/2 lbs. Fish were caught in the Iron Stake area of Okeechobee.
All the bass were released.
Sam and wife Jenny Davis (Shelby, NC - ph: 704-482-8131) caught
43 bass using shiners during the 3 days (April 10, 11, 12, 1998)
they fished with Ron's Guide Service. Jenny who besides catching
most of the bass also did land a 8 1/2, 6 3/4 and two 5 lb'ers.
All fish were released except the 8 1/2 lb'er which after it is
mounted is going on the wall in Sam's den. Lake Okeechobee's North
Shore produced these nice fish.
6 1/2 and 6 1/4 lb. Okeechobee
bass was caught by Jean Barlow (Salisbury, NC - ph: 704-633-7822).
Jean's husband Dean caught a 6 lb'er. They had a total of 37 bass
