Great shad spawn and topwater on Okeechobee

Спорт

I show how alive and well lake Okeechobee can be! It's the full moon of June, there a terrific shad spawn in the outside Kissimmee grass which lasts till 9:00-10:00 AM then the monster bass are roaming the bluegill bedding areas the rest of the day and with a little luck you can get a monster to take a big topwater plug!

    Roland, you look healthy, sonnnnnnn! That bit about positivity is so true. If you haven't had a bite for an hour, you drop your rod tip, don't watch the line, start checking your phone with your bait in the water, etc. There's no reason to cast a line out without the intention of getting a bite!

    Amen to that... Those are the forefathers of when fishing was about catching fish, as opposed to pushing buttons, or $25 baits. I remember when Al Linder did the demo of the very first weird, foreign, "doo-higgy", called a "trolling motor". What us old guys grew up with doesn't even remotely resemble what this industry is today, which now caters to people who can afford $100K bass boats, decked out with $25K worth of electronics, all so you can find a weed line, or patch of lilly pads, and cast a lure. Randy Blaukat just today posted a video on how it's destroying the industry, specifically the tournaments. And, we've all watched it unfold, in an incredibly predictable fashion, in slow motion over the decades.

I was lucky enough to be taken our for a private lesson one day with Edwin Evers and one day with Jacob Wheeler. I can’t tell you how much I’ve learned watching your videos. They truly have taught me so much and are almost like meditation watching them. I just wanted to let you know how much you’ve helped me. Thank You Adam

    Roland can you make a video that covers how to fish when you are trying to cover a lot of ground. Obviously the speed of retrieve and how you can feel the bite is much different when you are moving forward under trolling motor power or even fishing up current while moving forward with the trolling motor.

And I'll be coming down to Lake Okeechobee to fish for large mouth bass for the first time in my life next month in April! It will be a childhood dream of mine come true! I'll be coming into Clewiston as well. So looking forward to it!!! Are you doing guided trips now? If not, who would you recommend?? Online, I've come across positive reviews for Mark Shepard, Marc Rogers, Dave Lauer, Mark Rose, and Rob Alphano so far. I'm looking to make a decision this week!
