Ron, Thanks so much for the recent 3 day fishing trip. My son Dave will
never forget it, as will I. The 3-3/4 bass Dave caught has grown in size and
weight since we got back. If you could send me a copy of the picture, I would
greatly appreciate it. Please send it to TrackWin1@aol.com. My computer does
not have Zip files. Give Red a extra honey bun on us. Thanks again

Florida wild shiner bass fishing anglers Bob Craley and his 12 year-old son Lee (York, PA - ph: 717-757-7696 - e-mal: Butch918@aol.com or TeresaC@yorktwn.com) put up with gale force winds during the first afternoon of their wild shiner bass fishing trip on October 9, 2001 with Cap'n Ron. To stay out of the wind we fished the cuts of Harney Pond Canal where Bob's son Lee caught 2 bass up to 4 1/2 lbs. Bob accidentally hooked into a manatee that required the line to be cut before Bob was pulled overboard! The wind clalmed down overnight to allow us to get out on the lake the next morning October 10, 2001. Bob and his son Lee caught 7 bass during their morning trip that inclued a 6 1/4 lb., 5 1/4 lb. and 4 lb'er that were caught by Bob's son. Two channel catfish were also boated. All fish were released except the 6 1/4 lb'er which is being mounted. Bass and catfish were caught in the Harney Pond Canal and North Shore areas of Lake Okeechobee.

Ed caught the 7 1/2 lb. and the 6 lb'er. An unusual cold front and windy weather for this time of the year slowed down the fishing action. We boated about 200 fish counting the bowfin (mudfish) up to 10 lbs, catfish and gar. I fished the Point Of The Reef out on the lake when the wind was down. Fished the Harney Pond Canal and Moore Haven Canal areas with good results when the wind was blowing real hard. Both the 7 1/2 lb. and the 6 lb'er were caught in the Harney Pond Canal. Ed caught the 7 1/2 lb'er on a worm (Red Shar Green Glitter) which he was casting while we were wild shiner fishing. Seems best fishing is still in the Harney Pond Canal area of Lake Okeechobee.

He's got a tourney there this weekend and asked me to ask you for a little info, he'd sure appreciate it....... his email address is Howjacalit@aol.com

Thanks for the info Ron. I'm coming down on the 2nd to pre-fish 2 days for my tourney on the 4th. The last time you gave me info this past spring it helped a lot. I had 3 previous Red Man tourneys on the lake this year and that north shore area was where about 80% of the boats fished. I was told that area has been holding fish all year since the winter high water. Hopefully my sluggo technique will also do well like it did last year at this time when my brother and I were fishing with you. I'll let you know how I do and also what the others were doing so it might help you out with your guide service.
Thanks again,
Dirk Oswald

Ron Relosky (Pittsburgh, PA - ph: 412-531-9183 - e-mail: Ronre@aol.com) and Willy Sans (West Palm Beach, FL - ph: 561-790-7877) caught 23 bass up to 4 1/2 lbs. during 1 day (Sept. 21, 1998) of wild shiner fishing with Ron’s Guide Service. Fish were taken on the North Shore in the open pockets scattered throughout the open water weed beds. All fish were released.

Frank Zdziarski (Shickshinny, PA - ph: 717-864-2403), Frank Oley Sr. and son Frank Jr. (Plains, PA - ph: 914-895-8798 - e-mail: FRANK1961@aol.com) caught 63 bass which included a 5 1/2, 6 and 7 1/2 lb'er. using shiners during the 3 days (May 5 - 7, 1998) they fished on Lake Okeechobee with Captain Ron. Frank Sr. landed the 5 1/2 and 6 lb'er. Frank Zdziarski landed the 7 1/2 lb'er. Frank Jr. "did a lot of missing". All the bass were released except the 7 1/2 lb'er which is being mounted.

7 1/4 lb. Lake Okeechobee trophy bass. Guided a husband and wife team Quincy & Carolyn Wang (Erie, PA - ph: 814-833-5057 - e-mail: QC9295@aol.com - e-mail: QCWang@pol.net) to 18 bass up to 7 1/4 lbs. Carolyn of course hooked and landed the 7 1/4 lb'er. All bass were caught off of the point of the reef along the pepper grass beds. Wild shiners were used to catch the fish. All fish were released except the 7 1/4 trophy that Quincy is having mounted.

Steve Wible (Mc Connellsbg., PA - ph: 717-485-0305 - e-mail: bestbid@epix.net) and Travis Buterbaugh (Norristown, PA - ph: 610-272-8934) caught 97 bass up to 3 lbs. during 1 day of fishing (June 13, 1998) with Captain Ron. They fished with wild shiners for a few hours during each 4 hour session of fishing. Wild shiner fishing however only produced 3 bass while topwater fishing produced 94 bass! We fished to dark trying to hit the 100 fish mark. Although we didn't hit the 100 fish mark we had a great time trying. The floating Rapala any color (size #11) caught 94 of the 97 bass landed. It seems a slow retrieve with short erratic twitches seemed to draw the best strikes. You will get at least 2 to 3 shots at hooking them if you don't pull the plug away from them when they blast it. Best hours for topwater action was from 6:30 - 8:00 a.m. and 7:00 - 8:30 p.m. All the bass which were released were caught in the Monkey Box area of Lake Okeechobee.

Dennis and Mike Reilley (Chadds Ford, PA - 610-388-1193) caught 22 bass up to 5 lbs. using shiners during a day and the half of fishing with Captain Ron.
