Our Lake Okeechobee trip just

bcklash · 03-01-12, 09:57 PM

got better. We are flying to Orlando Sat morning getting a rental car and driving to Roland Martin Marina. Gonna fish the BIG O Sun and Mon. and leave on Tues. and swing by Tampas Hard Rock Casino for a few hours. Then we are heading back to Orlando, BUT one of my dreams since the late 60s or early 70s was to visit The DETROIT TIGERS SPRING TRAINING HOME and I'm finally getting to visit. they are in Lakeland Fla half in between Tampa and Orlando.

This is going to be an awesome trip. I can't wait to get on that plane Sat morning

Sounds great, Ron. Hope you have a fantastic trip! Looking forward to the full report and pics when you get back.

Awesome, Lash!
Don't forget to do the wave!

Buy junebug skinny dippers, small bullet weight, slow wake them through the grass and let them drop in any open water. If you find beds, cast past the bed and bring them in slow. Just a hint, the guides may tell you other wise. Have a good time, fishing a tourney Saturday about 1 hour North of you.

That is awesome! You guys are going to have a great time. Great fishing and baseball, doesn't get much better than that!

When we hit the big O in January, we hit it right on a cold front... extreme cold front for down there... high 30's in the mornings and only gettin up to mid 50's in the afternoons. We caught a ton of fish, but nothing to brag about, our best 5 probably would have gone 15-16 pounds. I think you're hitting it at a great time though, hope you slay em

Bubba_Bruiser · 03-02-12, 04:00 AM

Good luck to y'all. Be sure to get us plenty of pics!

joedog · 03-02-12, 05:42 AM

Ron, Wow what a trip!
Now that I have access to you, my travel agent may want to be checking in to a career change!

Have fun, catch fish, take pics, get autographs, take pics, have Roland sign a packet of your helicopters, take pics, let Casino pay for trip, did I mention take pics, be safe and enjoy the trip and the company you have with!
Oh, forgot the most important step, share pics!
