16 NOV. 2024 · As of November 16, 2024, Lake Okeechobee is buzzing with fishing activity, despite the rising water levels. The weather is mild, making it an ideal day to be out on the water.
Sunrise today was at around 6:43 AM, and sunset is expected at about 5:23 PM, giving you a full day to enjoy the lake. There are no significant tidal changes to worry about on Lake Okeechobee, as it is a freshwater lake.
Fishing has been excellent, particularly for largemouth bass. The bass bite has been on fire, with many anglers reporting catches of up to 8 pounds. Females are on the move for spawning, making this a prime time to catch some big ones. Other species biting well include peacock bass, clown knife fish, bluegill, and shell crackers.
For bass, the best areas to try are the Shoal, North shore, Dyess Ditch, and Tin House. On the south end, areas around Uncle Joe’s, Blue Hole, and Turners Cove are also productive. On the north end, Monkey box/Dupree bar and areas around Indian Prairie are worth exploring.
In terms of lures, popping frogs, swim baits, swim jigs, and worms are producing well. Flipping and pitching lures, along with some rattle trap and top water lures worked slowly and methodically around cover, are also effective. For crappie, which are a bit iffy due to warm water temps, a slow troll or minimal wind drift in deeper water using Road Runners in colors like Chartreuse/Black, White, and Electric Chicken can be successful.
Live bait is also working well, especially live shiners for bass. Anglers have reported going through several dozen baits in just a few hours and catching around 20 bass.
Overall, the water quality looks good, although more aquatic vegetation would be beneficial for smaller fish and bait fish. With the mild weather and active fish, today is a great day to get out on Lake Okeechobee and enjoy some fantastic fishing. Just remember to use boater courtesy and respect those around you.
15 NOV. 2024 · As of November 15, 2024, Lake Okeechobee is buzzing with fishing activity, despite the rising water levels. The weather is mild, with temperatures in the mid-70s to low 80s, and a gentle breeze that's perfect for a day on the water.
Sunrise today was at around 6:45 AM, and sunset is expected at about 5:30 PM, giving you a full day to enjoy the lake. Since Lake Okeechobee is a freshwater lake, there are no tidal reports to consider.
The bass bite has been exceptional, with many anglers reporting catches of largemouth bass, some of which are bigger females moving into the reeds and under mats. 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. 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 also productive.
For bass, lures such as popping frogs, swim baits/swim jigs, flipping/pitching worms, rattle traps, and top water lures worked slowly and methodically around cover are producing well. Live bait, especially live shiners, has also been very effective.
Crappie fishing is a bit iffy due to the warm water temperatures, but this is expected to change in about three weeks as the water cools. Currently, the best way to target crappie is through slow trolling or minimal wind drift in deeper water, focusing on ledges and drop-offs. Road Runners in the Vibe Runner or Curly Tail series, especially in colors like Chartreuse/Black, White, and Electric Chicken, are recommended.
In addition to bass and crappie, anglers are also catching bluegill and smaller bass while trolling for crappie, making it a fun day for families and beginners.
The water quality looks good, with some areas clear enough to see the bottom, though more aquatic vegetation such as eel grass, pepper grass, shrimp grass, and hydrilla would be beneficial for smaller fish and bait fish.
Overall, Lake Okeechobee is offering a great fishing experience right now, with plenty of opportunities to catch a variety of species. Just remember to use boater courtesy and respect other anglers on the water.
10 NOV. 2024 · As of November 10, 2024, Lake Okeechobee is buzzing with fishing activity, despite the lack of tidal influences due to its inland location. Here’s what you need to know for a successful day on the water.
### Weather and Water Conditions
The water level at Lake Okeechobee is currently at 16.16 feet, slightly above its historical average. The weather forecast for today includes light rain with a high temperature and gentle winds, making it a relatively comfortable day for fishing. Sunrise was at around 6:45 AM, and sunset is expected at approximately 5:30 PM.
### Fish Activity
Bass fishing has been on fire lately, with larger females starting to show up in the reeds and under mats. The bass are staging for their winter spawning, concentrating along the outside fringes of inshore spawning grounds. Areas such as the Shoal, North shore, Dyess Ditch, and Tin House have been particularly active. For crappie, the best approach is a slow troll or minimal wind drift in deeper water, targeting ledges and drop-offs.
### Catch Reports
Yesterday saw a flurry of activity, with anglers catching a significant number of bass, some up to 8 pounds. Crappie and bluegill were also plentiful, especially in areas with moving water like John Stretch Park and the Rim Canal near the Moore Haven Lock. Panfish action has been excellent, with worms, crickets, and minnows proving effective.
### Best Lures and Bait
For bass, popping frogs, swim baits, swim jigs, and flipping/pitching with worms have been highly effective. Top water lures worked slowly and methodically around specific types of cover are also producing good results. For crappie, Road Runners in Chartreuse/Black, White, and Electric Chicken colors are recommended. Live bait, particularly shiners, has been best for the larger bass.
### Hot Spots
- **Shoal and North Shore**: These areas have been hot for bass, especially around the outermost points of cattails and bulrush.
- **Dyess Ditch and Tin House**: Concentrations of bass are staging here for their winter spawning.
- **Uncle Joe’s, Blue Hole, and Turners Cove**: These southern areas are good starting points once the crappie start moving into the shallows.
- **Monkey Box/Dupree Bar and Indian Prairie**: These northern areas are also seeing a lot of bass activity.
With the high water levels and favorable weather, today promises to be an excellent day for fishing on Lake Okeechobee. Make sure to respect other boaters and enjoy the abundant fish life this lake has to offer.

### Water Levels and Navigation
The water level at Lake Okeechobee is still on the rise, currently at about 16 feet 7 inches, which has opened up new areas to fish and improved navigation significantly. However, be cautious of floating debris and changing water conditions.
### Fish Activity
The bass bite has been on fire, with many anglers reporting significant catches.

Yesterday, anglers caught a substantial number of largemouth bass, with many in the 2-4 pound range and some up to 8 pounds.
### Best Lures and Bait
For bass, artificial baits such as the Bass Assassin “Logger Toad” or “Die Dapper” are highly effective in the flats around cover. Live bait, particularly shiners, has also been very successful. Areas with clear water, despite some muddy patches, have been producing a lot of fish. Popping frogs, swim baits, swim jigs, and topwater lures worked slowly around specific types of cover are also producing good results.
### Hot Spots
Some of the best areas to fish include Moonshine Bay, which has become accessible again due to the rise in water levels. The Shoal, North shore, Dyess Ditch, and Tin House are also active spots. On the south end, try around Uncle Joe’s, Blue Hole, Turners Cove, East Wall, Kramer Island, and Houseboat Cut. For those targeting schooling fish, the mouth of Harney Pond and areas above Dyess Ditch are worth exploring.
### Additional Tips
When fishing, pay attention to wind direction to find clear water, especially in areas that have been protected from the wind. For crappie, which are still a bit sluggish due to warm water temps, a slow troll or minimal wind drift in deeper water with lures like Road Runners can be effective.
With the right gear and knowledge of the lake, you’re set for an exciting and productive day on Lake Okeechobee. Enjoy your fishing adventure
