Okee_Steve Posted July 4, 2007 Posted July 4, 2007 I just stumbled across this site last night and replied to a couple of post and thought I should say "Hello" and tell you a little about myself. I'm from Okeechobee, Florida. I live in a small community on the north side of the lake. I've moved here just shortly after being discharged for the USMC in 1972 I grew up in Columbus, Ohio and have been fishing for Bass as long as I remember. My earliest memories of fishing was with my dad and granddad using a wooden row boat fishing for bream in Arkansas back in the '50's. In Ohio I mostly fished the Scioto River north of Gregg's Dam. I have fished the Hoover Reservoir, Alum Creek Reservoir and most of the lakes big and small from Lake Erie to Lake Logan. When I moved to Okeechobee in 1975, I worked as a fireman and fished every day off I had. After about 5 years I started guiding and for the next 27 years I have guided, fished tournaments, published a fishing magazine, "The Okeechobee Fisherman." and hosted a very popular South Florida radio talk show called, "Okeechobee Fishin'" I'm a single dad and have a 10 year old girl that lives with me, Billie Sue and she loves bass fishing as much as I do. I laid off guiding for the last 8 years and as soon as we get a little water in the lake I'll be getting back into it. If there is any questions you may have that I can answer I'll be more than happy to give you my opinion. Just remember they will be just the opinion of another fisherman, no more, no less. That pretty much sums up my life in 1500 characters or less. Not bad for a lifetime of stuff. Quote
