Go Fish! Like a Pro: Lake Okeechobee

DeMott Flips “Front Yards and Picnic Tables” to Success! 

 A tournament wouldn’t be a tournament on Lake Okeechobee without a cold front to challenge competitors. Don DeMott of Boca Raton, Florida braved the elements while trusting in a variety of Gambler Lures to produce in difficult circumstances to earn a 3^rd Place finish in the 2010 Southeastern FLW American Fishing Series.

With the exception of an impending cold front, conditions were ideal for fishing on Okeechobee.
