When it comes to freshwater bass fishing down south, what is the most famous destination, and does anyone know who the big name guides or guide services are?

[Beekeeper]

Lake Okeechobee in Florida comes to mind. Guides all over the place, but Roland Martin has made his career there. He ownes a Marina and guide service out of Clewiston.

Thanks a million! I'll give him a call.

I grew up in Fla. Okeechobee is famous because of Roland Martin and it is certainly among the best. However, if you go a little farther North the average bass is a little bigger. Lake Panasoffkee in FEB. with live wild shiners is the thing to do if you want a 10 lb or larger Bass. Contact Jim Veal at Pana vista Lodge. The lake is a couple miles West of I-75 Near Wildwood. Jim and I went to school together. Just google pana vista lodge. There are many other good places also.

BTW Roland did one of his shows on Lake Panasoffkee (old indian name). Did I mention vegetarian is an old indian word that means bad hunter.
