You can get well in a hurry on Lake Okeechobee, and we’re seeing some indicators of that approaching the noon hour. Brett Hite has joined Timmy Horton in eclipsing the 20-pound mark, according to BASSTrakk. Chad Pipkens and Stephen Browning are over 19 pounds.
There’s still lots of prime fishing time left, and it simply doesn’t take long to make up ground here. As Chris Lane noted yesterday, “It’s Okeechobee. We are here during the spawn. It is Florida. If you get dialed in on the right deal, you can catch 20 pounds really, really quick.”
