Taylor: I did throw the bull shads. Mike made me some golden shiner ones. The problem is that on Okeechobee right now, you can't fish a bait with hanging trebles very much at all. Very few pockets in the areas holding fish had enough open water to throw anything. I mean, no spinnerbaits even. Okeechobee is insane vegetation and thick muck fishing. You have to get 100s of yards into the muck to get into clear water, and once you're there, you gotta fish weedless baits only pretty much. The 6" Weedless Hudd fished great in some of the sparse areas/boat trails for me.
