    I would like to spend a day fishing the everglades while we are there. What ramp would you recommend using? Coming from Clewiston.

    The thing about planned fishing vacations, I take them once a year also, is that you can’t stress about what the lake is doing or water height or whatever, you just have to go and deal with what you got. Adapt and find the fish, sometimes it’s easier to hire a guide for a day to basically pay for an insight for the pattern. I headed to Lake O in about 7 weeks.
    Sometimes I need my ATV when in my boat and sometimes I need my boat while riding my ATV.

    We had a great trip! Size wasnt great, but we did end up with 2 pushing 6lbs and 7 over 4 lbs. Spent 2 days in the glades and caugh 20+ each day there. Okeechobee got better each day and on Friday we landed over 100 bass. The big girls are moving up.

    Thanks for the post. What part of the lake were you in. On the North and East sides of the lake, many ramps and locks become un-useable when water nears 12 ft. I notice water has risen to 12.85. I'm hoping it will come up a bit more for my April and May trips. might let me get to a few spots I normally like to fish.

    I was hoping they would let it get a little higher also but they are going to be dumping water for the next 3 weeks.
