CAPTAIN MIKE SHELLEN www.OkeechobeeBassFishing.com 863-357-0892 Speck fishermen are finding good catches of undersized specks during the nighttime hours. Anglers are targeting the mouth of the river as well as the artea a 1/2 mile outside the mouth of the river. Some anglers are finding better success by traveling well up the river where the water is moving. Anglers using small jigs in the heavy scattered grass lines are scoring better size speck, but not nearly the numbers. Bass fishing is productive with artificial baits, top water, spinner bait, senko, jigs and other flipping or pitching style baits are all drawing strikes. Grassy Island as well as the East side of the lake is yielding a lot of small bass with better size fish mixed in. Harney Pond is holding fish in the heavy hydrilla area where the ell grass is mixed in with it. Shiner fishing has been steady with good numbers of bass being caught daily, big trophy size bass are being taken on wild shiners by anglers using large shiners to target the larger fish. Areas of mixed cover with eel grass, pepper grass and hydrilla mixed in together are productive areas for both numbers of bass and big bass.
