    I am not a south Florida guy but I was thinking about heading down this weekend for my first trip to the Big O and do some Hawg callin. That Pier 2 looks nice.

    Re: okeechobee (ldbass55)

    I should be down there friday about 5:00. White Chevy with black wheels and a Skeeter 20I. It looks like that pier 2 has a ramp and you lock thru to the lake? Or is is better to drive down to Scott Driver park? And from what I hear the water is up enough that I don't have to worry about hitting anything. Can't wait to lose my Lake O cherry.

    Re: okeechobee (fishhead2458)

    the north end of the lake is no problem to run with the water at the present level..the ramp at pier 2 isnt bad if you have someone to back you in..its fairly steep...the taylor creek lock is just a rocks throw away, and is usually always open...i will probably launch at scott driver...its about a 5 minute drive...

    Taylor Creek lock is closed for repairs so don't launch inside.
