I am looking for the best time of the year to go spec fishing on Okeechobee and a good guide. North or South end it doesn't matter.
Any comments suggestions appreciated.

That is definitely the way fishing goes. When you think you have crappie figured out, things
change and the results are often totally different.

Several bait shops on north end on highway 78 have guides posted in shop
Most of guides will put you on single pole jiggin in the canes/bull rushes etc
Fun time ....if they are on when your there
November thru February - closer to or around Christmas is hot time to be had
Last time I was there there was no Monkey Box, just the iron that held it up. Did they put up a new one? Also call Rons guide service out of Lakeport.Quote:
