I don't see Moe here much anymore...

Anyone have a recommendation for a good 1-day charter? It has to be
fairly close to a hotel and preferably on the south or southeast side of
the lake. I'm looking for a trip in December or January.

Thanks,
Dan

Dan, I recommend Jim Wells, who guides for Scott Martin out of Clewiston.
Bubba Martin and I went out with Jim for two full days a few years back, and
he put us on bass when no one else was able to coax a bite. Both days he
worked hard, trying a number of patterns and locations, until we connected.
Most places we caught a few bass, and both days ended up with 50+ bass over
the gunwales. Wells is an old-timer, and he knows the lower end of
Okeechobee probably better than anyone I know.

Lake Okeechobee Fishing Guides is owned and operated by Scott Martin in
conjunction with Roland Martin's Marina and Resort.

I called Scott and told him you might give him a shout. From what I hear,
vegetation on the lower end of the lake was drastically affected by last
year's hurricanes, and the fish are harder to locate and reach than in years
past.
