Lake Toho Bass Fishing is Miraculous!

  Vacationing in Orlando take bass fishing adventure. Jeannie & Bruce from New York did and had a miraculous day bass fishing in Orlando!

Jeannie and Bruce are just that couple, while tossing a shiner out on a free line, we notice the second line crossed the first. The first line got a bite and the shiner on the second line wrapped around the first. “WOW, is that confusing or what.”

So, Bruce sets the hook on the second line, minutes later Jeannie start to reel a fish in on the first line. Bruce has contact with his fish and it’s fighting incredibility hard, mean while Jeannie fish is starting to take drag. Both at the same time, both fighting and pulling like it’s the biggest fish in the lake.

At almost identically times, both fish get near the boat. Bruce cranks his up close, we see the fish..it’s a nice 6+ pound bass. Jeannie is reeling with all her might to land her fish. As Bruce gets his fish in the net, we noticed that Jeannie’s “fish” fishing line is hooked on Bruce’s line.

So, awesome catch for Bruce and false alarm for Jeannie. But as Bruce later described, “for 40 seconds it was the catch of Jeannie life,”… as we all laughed together!

As the day progressed and the catching continued, several other big fish were caught by both Jeannie and Bruce to top off there day of fishing in Orlando. Pictures prove both of them caught trophy bass in November on Lake Toho outside of Orlando Florida.

We appreciate your business and look forward to fishing with you in the future.

Till next time tight lines and good fishing….

One Prayer, One Big Bass!

October 3, 2009 on legendary Lake Toho, Paster Grady Coven came on board to do some trophy bass fishing. As we started out, I heard the Pastor say Lord just one big one,Amen.

Grady is from Alabama and very familiar with fishing for largemouth bass.

It was a gorgeous day and the Pastor was doing well with a small amount of fish. Grady was catching bass, when out of blues that nice Lunker of Bass took off with his bait.

The Lake Toho monster bass weighted in at 8 1/2 pounds and the blessing for the day was answered.

Also noted, for a 8 1/2 pound bass it was a big thick specimen of a Florida largemouth, a real healthy summertime fish.

We appreciate your business and look forward to fishing with in the future.

Till next time tight lines and good fishing….

Lake Osborne in September

Lake Osborne on September 8, I had John Person and son Jason on-board for a Palm Beach fishing adventure. The temperature outside was in the 90’s, water temperature was in the high 80’s. Jason Person had never caught a largemouth bass he was excited and ready to hook up. Actually Jason talked his dad into a trip on his last day of a family vacation. At first Jason missed a few fish, but learn quickly to set that hook and what can I say Jason landed his first bass. Once again a bass angler has been born, Jason can now say he caught a largemouth bass.

John Person and son had a hard 1/2 day fishing, but what young Jason set out to do was catch a bass, and that he accomplished. The memory’s made catching his first largemouth bass in Palm Beach Florida will always be burned in that young mans mind.

Thank you Person family for letting us have the honors of teaching Jason to bass fish!

Lake Okeechobee Hoover Dike Repair

Staff report Palm Beach Post

Wednesday, May 28, 2008

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has awarded $28.9 million to Bauer Foundation Corp. of Clearwater for rehabilitation work on portions of the Herbert Hoover Dike surrounding Lake Okeechobee in Martin and Palm Beach counties.

According to a Corps news release, the construction near the Sand Cut community in northwesternmost Palm Beach County includes a 3.5-mile wall extending from the dike crest and through the foundation to a depth of about 70 feet. The wall is intended to stop "piping," or internal erosion in the dike.

In all, a 22-mile wall is being built from Port Mayaca in Martin County to Belle Glade in Palm Beach County, a stretch considered the most vulnerable of the 143-mile dike. It's expected the Corps will award more job orders in June and August.

Once awarded a job, the contractor must build a 500-foot demonstration panel to prove the technique and finished panel meets rigorous engineering standards. Engineers test the panel prior to, during and after construction.

In 2007, the Corps named the Okeechobee dike among the six dams in the country most in need of repair.

"I'm very happy with the progress we are making with the rehabilitation of Herbert Hoover Dike," Col. Paul Grosskruger, commander of the Corp's Jacksonville district, said in a prepared statement. "Each phase of rehabilitation is a step forward in providing Lake Okeechobee residents with more protection than they had before."
