LAKE OKEECHOBEE JANUARY 2009

MAKE NO MISTAKE ABOUT IT....LAKE OKEECHOBEE HAS SOME SERIOUS ENVIRONMENTAL PROBLEMS.  FARMING AROUND THE LAKE IS NOT ONLY DEPLETING THE WATER LEVELS, BUT IS CAUSING A HUGE NUTRIENT OVERLOAD TO THE LAKE.  TO FIND FISH, EVERYONE IS GROUPED UP INTO SMALL FISHING AREAS THAT CONTAIN CLEAR WATER.  I REMEMBER IN THE MID 80'S THERE WERE SO MANY CLEAR WATER AREAS THAT PRODUCED LARGE BASS.  NOW I WOULD GUESS LESS THAN 10% OF THE LAKE IS SUITABLE  AND CAN SUSTAIN A POPULATION OF BASS.
