[cartrader]

going to the big O for first time in late march. what to carry in tackle? I fish tenn river and throw crank baits, spinner baits, mostly, fish some grass. do I even did to pack any crank baits or just palstics and top waters? thanks guys

I will give you my 2 cents.....skinny dippers, craws for flipping, 10 inch worms, senkos and maybe a spinnerbait.
All thrown on braided line for me.

When in "late" March? The Lake Okeechobee Rally is the 18-25 of March......

Average depth of entire lake is 6'.... Unless you want too fish the rim ditch leave the DEEP diving crank baits at home. Fishing Florida style takes some adjusting.... As Deana was eluding too, come to the rally.... You will get great info on the lake and cut your learning curve in half.

thanks, I use a lot of white, black, green pumpkin colors here on the tenn river. will these work? or does the neutral colors work better . on the skinny dippers are the bigger ones better?
