Lake Okeechobee Fishing Guides

Eric Woolace and his wife came down to enjoy a day on the Lake with Lake Okeechobee Fishing Guides/Shellen Guide Service and what a day it was. Today we struggled in the wind and the fish bit awkwardly. They chased the bait around would take the bait and bobber down and then let it go many many times. We did manage to land quite a few nice fish so Eric and his wife left Lake Okeechobee quite happy. As you can see by this fishes belly they are gorging themselves in preparation for spawning. One female bass can lay as many as 2,000 to 7,000 eggs per pound of body weight. The male guards the nest, fanning the eggs with his tail to keep off silt and debris. He will attack anything that swims near the nest. Despite the male’s vigilance, many eggs are eaten by other fish species such as catfish, bowfin, bluegill, cichlids, and more. We try to get big girls like this that are on beds back in the water quickly so she can get back to her bed to protect it from predators.
