I DO NOT have this bite figured out and by no means can speak as an authority. Something is always bedding on Okeechobee….bass, bluegill, talapia/goggle-eyes, and Asian armored catfish. There is a cycle and way of life in the lake, in all lakes I suppose, that mirrors this to some…
Kyle catches big ones on Huddlestons. I think I met Kyle via Facebook. When I see a guy catching 8″ Huddleston fish, and I don’t care where, I try to pay attention. Kyle showed me a picture one time and I immediately recognized it as a pond in my…

Softbaits get the most bites (and tend to catch the biggest fish, ala 8" Huddleston). So when in Rome, throw a softbait! Okeechobee validated what I already…
