  • Lake Okeechobee Fishing Report: Bass Biting Hot, Crappie Picking Up as Temps Drop

    Lake Okeechobee Fishing Report: Bass Biting Hot, Crappie Picking Up as Temps Drop
    Nov 22 2024
    As of November 22, 2024, Lake Okeechobee is offering some fantastic fishing opportunities. Here’s what you need to know for a successful day on the water.

    First, let's talk about the conditions. The lake level is currently at 12.74, though there are reports that the water level is still rising in some areas. The weather is mild, with temperatures in the mid-70s to low 80s, making it ideal for fishing. Sunrise today is around 6:45 AM, and sunset will be at approximately 5:20 PM, perfect times for catching the early and late bites when fish are most active.

    Fish activity has been robust, especially for bass. The bass bite has been on fire, with many anglers reporting multiple catches throughout the day. Areas such as the Shoal, North shore, Dyess Ditch, and Tin House have been particularly active for bass. For those targeting bass, lures like popping frogs, swim baits/swim jigs, flipping/pitching worms, rattle traps, and top water lures worked slowly around cover like reeds, cattails, and bulrushes are producing well.

    Crappie fishing is a bit iffy due to the warm water temperatures, but this is expected to improve in about three weeks as the water cools down. For now, slow trolling or minimal wind drift in deeper water, targeting ledges and drop-offs, is the best approach. Use rods like the BnM Capps and Coleman 10ft trolling rod, and lures such as Road Runners in Chartreuse/Black, White, or Electric Chicken colors.

    Other fish like bluegill and smaller bass are also being caught while trolling for crappie, making it a fun experience for families. Hot spots to try include the areas around Uncle Joe’s, Blue Hole, and Turners Cove on the south end, and Monkey box/Dupree bar, Dyess Ditch/point of Horse, and areas around Indian Prairie and Tin House on the north end. The mouth of the Kissimmee River, King’s Bar, Fisheating Bay off the Harney Pond Canal, and the hayfields of the Bay Bottom area have also been producing good results.

    Remember to use boater courtesy and respect other anglers on the water. With the right gear and knowledge of these hot spots, you should have a productive and enjoyable day fishing on Lake Okeechobee.

  • "Reel in the Bass and Crappie at Lake Okeechobee: A Fishing Update for November 2024"

    "Reel in the Bass and Crappie at Lake Okeechobee: A Fishing Update for November 2024"
    Nov 21 2024
    As of November 21, 2024, Lake Okeechobee is offering some exciting fishing opportunities. Here’s what you need to know for a successful day on the water.

    First, let's talk about the conditions. The lake level is currently at 12.74 and has been falling, but according to recent reports, the water level is still rising in some areas[2][5]. The weather is mild, with temperatures in the mid-70s to low 80s, making it ideal for fishing.

    Sunrise today is at around 6:45 AM, and sunset will be at approximately 5:20 PM, giving you plenty of daylight to fish.

    Fish activity has been robust, especially for bass. The bass bite has been on fire, with many anglers reporting multiple catches throughout the day. Areas like the Shoal, North shore, Dyess Ditch, and Tin House have been particularly active for bass fishing[1][2].

    For crappie, the bite is still a bit iffy due to warm water temperatures, but this is expected to improve in about three weeks as the water cools down. Currently, the best way to target crappie is through slow trolling or minimal wind drift in deeper water, focusing on ledges and drop-offs. Areas around Uncle Joe’s, Blue Hole, Turners Cove, and Kramer Island are good spots to try[1].

    As for the types of fish caught, yesterday saw a mix of largemouth bass, peacock bass, and panfish like bluegill and crappie. Bass up to 8 pounds were common, and some anglers even caught larger ones[3][4].

    For lures, popping frogs, swim baits, swim jigs, and flipping/pitching with worms have been very effective. Top water lures worked slowly and methodically around certain types of cover are also producing good results. For crappie, Road Runners in the Vibe Runner or Curly Tail series, especially in colors like Chartreuse/Black, White, and Electric Chicken, are recommended[1].

    Live bait is also highly effective, especially for bigger fish. Live shiners and minnows have been working well for both bass and panfish[2][4].

    Some hot spots to consider include the Observation Shoal area, where flipping and pitching the outside grass has been productive. The mouth of the Kissimmee River, King’s Bar, and the hayfields of the Bay Bottom area are also worth checking out. For crappie, the Hog Pen and along the Rim Canal south toward Bear Beach Channel have been good areas[1][2].

    Remember to use boater courtesy and respect other anglers on the water. With the right gear and knowledge of these hot spots, you should have a productive and enjoyable day on Lake Okeechobee.

  • Lakeside Bounty: Okeechobee Fishing Frenzy on the Rise

    Lakeside Bounty: Okeechobee Fishing Frenzy on the Rise
    Nov 17 2024
    As of November 17, 2024, Lake Okeechobee is buzzing with fishing activity, and the conditions are ideal for a productive day on the water. Since Lake Okeechobee is an inland lake, it does not experience tidal influences, making it easier to predict fishing patterns.

    The weather today is expected to be partly cloudy with a high of 78 degrees Fahrenheit and a low of 58 degrees, perfect for the bass to start moving into their spawning areas. Sunrise was at 6:43 AM, and sunset will be at 5:23 PM, giving you ample time to enjoy the day.

    Fish activity has been robust, especially for largemouth bass. Yesterday, anglers reported catching numerous bass, with some weighing up to 8 pounds. Peacock bass and clown knife fish are also biting well, both on live bait and artificial lures. The crappie bite is still a bit slow due to the warm water temperatures, but it is expected to improve in the coming weeks.

    For bass, the best lures to use right now include popping frogs, swim baits, swim jigs, and worms. Flipping and pitching around cover such as reeds and mats have been particularly effective. Artificial baits like the Bass Assassin “Logger Toad” or “Die Dapper” are also recommended, especially in the flats around cover.

    Live bait, particularly live shiners, has been very successful for catching large bass. Areas such as the Shoal, North shore, Dyess Ditch, and Tin House have been the most active for bass. From the south end, try around Uncle Joe’s, Blue Hole, and Turners Cove.

    If you're looking for hot spots, consider Moonshine Bay, which has become accessible again due to the rise in water levels. The North shore, especially around Monkey Box and Dupree Bar, is also worth a visit. On the south end, Kramer Island and Houseboat Cut have been producing good results.

    Remember to be cautious of floating debris and to respect other boaters on the lake. With the water level still rising, navigation is safer, but it's always wise to be careful.

    Overall, Lake Okeechobee is offering some of the best fishing conditions of the season, so grab your gear and get ready for an exciting day on the water.
