  • Fishing Forecast for Lake Okeechobee: Ideal Conditions for Bass and Crappie Anglers

    Fishing Forecast for Lake Okeechobee: Ideal Conditions for Bass and Crappie Anglers
    Dec 1 2024
    As of December 1, 2024, Lake Okeechobee is offering some fantastic fishing opportunities, despite the transitioning weather.

    ### Weather and Tidal Conditions
    Today, you can expect partly cloudy skies with a high of around 75°F and a low of 58°F. The water level on Lake Okeechobee remains higher than normal, which is beneficial for fishing. Since Lake Okeechobee is a freshwater lake, tidal reports are not applicable, but the water level is still rising.

    ### Sunrise and Sunset
    Sunrise is at 6:53 AM, and sunset is at 5:23 PM, giving you a good window for both morning and afternoon fishing.

    ### Fish Activity
    The bass bite has been exceptionally strong, with many anglers reporting catches in various areas around the lake. For bass, focus on areas like the Shoal, North Shore, Dyess Ditch, and Tin House. As the weather cools down, these areas will extend out, allowing more boaters to catch bass.

    Crappie fishing is also picking up, although it's still a bit iffy due to the warm water temperatures. For crappie, use a slow troll or minimal wind drift in deeper water, targeting ledges and drop-offs. Areas like Uncle Joe’s, Blue Hole, Turners Cove, and Kramer Island are good starting points.

    ### Types and Amounts of Fish Caught
    Yesterday, anglers reported catching a significant number of largemouth bass, with some catches up to 7 pounds. Crappie catches were also notable, especially during nighttime minnow fishing and daytime minnow bites in the lake and the Kissimmee River.

    ### Best Lures and Bait
    For bass, lures such as popping frogs, swim jigs/swim baits, worms, flipping/pitching creature-style lures like crawdads, spinner baits, shallow crank baits, spooks, and devil horses are producing well. Colors to consider include black/blue, white, red shad, June bug, tilapia, and Okeechobee craw.

    For crappie, Road Runners in the Vibe Runner or Curly Tail series are effective, with preferred colors being Chartreuse/Black, White, and Electric Chicken. The nighttime minnow bite has been particularly successful.

    ### Hot Spots
    - **North Shore**: This area has been very active for bass, especially around Dyess Ditch and Tin House.
    - **Uncle Joe’s and Blue Hole**: These spots are good for crappie, especially as they start moving into shallower waters to spawn.
    - **Monkey Box/Dupree Bar**: Another active area for bass, along with spots around Indian Prairie and Kings Bar.

    Remember to use boater courtesy and respect other anglers on the water. With the right lures and knowledge of the hot spots, you're set for a productive and enjoyable day on Lake Okeechobee.

  • Fishing Lake Okeechobee in November 2024 - Weather, Tides, Hot Spots, and More for a Successful Day

    Fishing Lake Okeechobee in November 2024 - Weather, Tides, Hot Spots, and More for a Successful Day
    Nov 30 2024
    As of November 30, 2024, Lake Okeechobee is buzzing with fishing activity despite the rising water levels. Here’s what you need to know for a successful day on the water.

    ### Weather and Tidal Conditions
    The weather is expected to be partly cloudy with a high of around 78°F and a low of 58°F. There are no significant tidal changes to worry about on Lake Okeechobee, as it is a freshwater lake.

    ### Sunrise and Sunset
    Sunrise is at 6:53 AM, and sunset is at 5:23 PM, giving you plenty of daylight to fish.

    ### Fish Activity
    The bass bite has been on fire lately. Largemouth bass, peacock bass, and even some clown knife fish are biting well on both live bait and artificial lures. Crappie are a bit more finicky due to the warm water temperatures, but they should start moving into shallower waters to spawn in about three weeks.

    ### Catch Reports
    Yesterday saw a lot of action, with anglers catching a significant number of bass, some up to 7 and 8 pounds. Crappie, bluegill, and smaller bass were also caught while trolling in deeper waters.

    ### Best Lures and Bait
    For bass, popping frogs, swim baits, swim jigs, flipping and pitching worms, and some rattle traps are producing good results. Top water lures worked slowly and methodically around cover are also effective. For crappie, a slow troll or minimal wind drift in deeper waters using Road Runners in the Vibe Runner or Curly Tail series is recommended. Preferred colors include Chartreuse/Black, White, and Electric Chicken, depending on water clarity.

    ### Hot Spots
    Some of the most active areas for bass include the Shoal, North shore, Dyess Ditch, and Tin House. From the south end, try around Uncle Joe’s, Blue Hole, Turners Cove, East Wall, Kramer Island, and Houseboat Cut. On the north end, Monkey box/Dupree bar, Dyess Ditch/point of Horse, and areas around Indian Prairie and Tin House are worth exploring.

    ### Additional Tips
    The water quality looks good, but more aquatic vegetation such as eel grass, pepper grass, shrimp grass, and hydrilla is needed to provide better coverage and food for smaller fish. Always use boater courtesy and respect those around you.

    With the right gear and knowledge, you’re set for a productive and fun day on Lake Okeechobee. Happy fishing

    Fishing Lake Okeechobee: Bass, Crappie, and Tips for a Successful Day on the Water
    Nov 29 2024
    As of November 29, 2024, Lake Okeechobee is buzzing with fishing activity. The water level is still rising, but this hasn't deterred the bass from biting aggressively. Here’s what you need to know for a successful day on the water.

    ### Weather and Tidal Conditions
    The weather is expected to be partly cloudy with a high of around 78°F and a low of 58°F. Since Lake Okeechobee is a freshwater lake, tidal conditions are not a factor, but water levels are currently on the rise.

    ### Sunrise and Sunset
    Sunrise is at 6:53 AM, and sunset is at 5:23 PM, giving you plenty of daylight to fish.

    ### Fish Activity
    Bass fishing has been on fire lately. Areas like the Shoal, North shore, Dyess Ditch, and Tin House have been particularly active. As the weather cools down, these areas will expand, allowing more boaters to catch bass. For those targeting the south end, try around Uncle Joe’s, Blue Hole, Turners Cove, East Wall, Kramer Island, and Houseboat Cut. On the north end, Monkey box/Dupree bar, Dyess Ditch/point of Horse, and areas around Indian Prairie and Tin House are hot spots.

    ### Types and Amounts of Fish
    Yesterday saw a good number of largemouth bass, with some bigger females showing up in the reeds and under mats. Peacock bass are also active in the inland lakes and canals. Crappie are still a bit iffy due to warm water temps, but a slow troll or minimal wind drift in deeper water can yield some catches. Bluegill and smaller bass are also being caught while trolling for crappie.

    ### Best Lures and Bait
    For bass, popping frogs, swim baits/swim jigs, flipping/pitching worms, rattle traps, and top water lures worked slowly around cover are producing well. For crappie, use Road Runners in the Vibe Runner or Curly Tail series, with colors like Chartreuse/Black, White, and Electric Chicken being effective.

    ### Additional Tips
    The water quality looks good, but more aquatic vegetation like eel grass, pepper grass, shrimp grass, and hydrilla is needed for better fish habitat. Use boater courtesy and respect other anglers.

    If you're looking for a guided trip, local guides like Mike Jones and Captain Reinaldo have been receiving high praise for their knowledge and patience.
