Although most of the country is in a deep, frigid freeze, the fishing season is just around the corner. Anglers are preparing for both the BASS Southern Open on Lake Okeechobee and the FLW American Series on Falcon. Both harbor Florida strain largemouth and both can be very difficult during cold fronts. A warming trend on both lakes could be a bonanza for both destinations. FLW will be fishing this weekend while BASS will start in a little over a week.
Okeechobee is again full and although its been a while since the Opens were on the Big O it looks to be a good one. Elite Series pro Chris Lane won the last BASS Open on Okeechobee in 2006. This event is scheduled for January 14-16, 2010. BASS allows 175 boats in its field.
Words are hard to find to describe Falcon and its unbelievable numbers of bass. FLW anglers heading to the fabled fishery are looking at what could be another record breaking tournament. Big fish have been biting and the century mark could be in jeapardy in the 3 day event scheduled for January 7-9, 2010. FLW allows 150 boats in its field.
We are ready for 2010 fishing to begin and stay tuned to Wired2Fish for details from both events.
