Lake Okeechobee, Florida Fishing Report - Daily
QP - Daily
17 NOV 2024 · As of November 17, 2024, Lake Okeechobee is buzzing with fishing activity, despite being an inland lake with no tidal influences. Here’s what you need to know for a successful day on the water.
### Weather and Time
The weather is expected to be partly cloudy with temperatures ranging from the mid-60s to the mid-70s. Sunrise is at around 6:45 AM, and sunset will be at approximately 5:20 PM.
### Water Levels and Conditions
The water level at Lake Okeechobee is still rising, currently at about 16 feet 7 inches, which has opened up new areas for fishing and improved navigation. However, be cautious of floating debris.
### Fish Activity
The bass bite has been on fire, with many anglers reporting significant catches. Late October through November is an excellent time to target largemouth bass, especially as the females start to move into the back flats. Peacock bass are also active in the inland lakes and canals.
### Types and Amounts of Fish
Yesterday, anglers caught a variety of fish including largemouth bass up to 8 pounds, peacock bass, bluegill, and shell crackers. Some reports indicate catching around 20 bass in a three-hour period using live bait and artificial lures.
### Best Lures and Bait
For bass, popping frogs, swim baits, swim jigs, and worms are producing well. Artificial baits like the Bass Assassin “Logger Toad” or “Die Dapper” are recommended for the flats around cover. 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 in the Vibe Runner or Curly Tail series is advised.
### Hot Spots
Some of the best areas to fish include the Shoal, North shore, Dyess Ditch, and Tin House. From the south end, try around Uncle Joe’s, Blue Hole, and Turners Cove. On the north end, Monkey box/Dupree bar and areas around Indian Prairie are also productive.
### Guides and Safety
Consider hiring a local guide like Captain Mark Shepard or Mike Jones, who have extensive knowledge of the lake and can ensure a safe and successful trip. Always be mindful of boater courtesy and respect other anglers on the water.
With the rising water levels and cooling temperatures, Lake Okeechobee is set for an exciting fishing season. Get out there and enjoy the adventure

16 NOV 2024 · As of November 16, 2024, Lake Okeechobee is offering some exciting fishing opportunities. Here’s what you need to know for a successful day on the water.
### Weather and Lake Conditions
The current weather at Lake Okeechobee is clear skies with a temperature of 82°F, humidity at 23%, and a gentle wind of 9 mph with gusts up to 12 mph[3].
The lake level is currently at 16.09 feet, which is still rising but providing good conditions for fishing[3].
### Sunrise and Sunset
Sunrise today is at around 6:45 AM, and sunset will be at approximately 5:20 PM, giving you a full day to enjoy the lake.
### Fish Activity
Bass fishing has been on fire lately. Bigger females are starting to show up in the reeds and under mats, making areas like the Shoal, North shore, Dyess Ditch, and Tin House hot spots[2][4].
For crappie, the bite is still a bit iffy due to warm water temps, but slow trolling or minimal wind drift in deeper water, especially around ledges and drop-offs, has been productive. You can expect to catch some smaller bass and bluegill while targeting crappie[4].
### Catch Reports
Yesterday saw a lot of action with bass up to 8 pounds being caught. Anglers reported going through multiple dozen baits in just a few hours, catching around 20 bass in that time frame[2].
Crappie fishing, though slower, still yielded some good catches, especially in areas like Uncle Joe’s, Blue Hole, and Turners Cove on the south end, and Monkey Box/Dupree bar on the north end[4].
### Best Lures and Bait
For bass, popping frogs, swim baits, swim jigs, and worms are producing well. Flipping and pitching around certain types of cover, and using top water lures worked slowly and methodically, have also been successful[4].
For crappie, Road Runners in the Vibe Runner or Curly Tail series, particularly in Chartreuse/Black, White, and Electric Chicken colors, are recommended[4].
### Hot Spots
- **Shoal and North Shore**: These areas have been active for bass, especially around the outside fringes of inshore spawning grounds and underwater hydrilla lines[5].
- **Dyess Ditch and Tin House**: These spots are also seeing a lot of bass activity, with concentrations showing up along the outermost points of cattails and bulrush[5].
- **Uncle Joe’s and Blue Hole**: On the south end, these areas are good for crappie and smaller bass[4].
With the right lures and bait, and by targeting these hot spots, you should have a productive and enjoyable day on Lake Okeechobee. Remember to use boater courtesy and respect other anglers on the water.

### Weather and Tidal Conditions
The weather today is partly cloudy with a high of 78 degrees Fahrenheit and a low of 58 degrees. Sunrise was at 6:43 AM, and sunset will be at 5:23 PM. There are no significant tidal changes to worry about on Lake Okeechobee, as it is a freshwater lake.
### Fish Activity
The largemouth bass bite has been on fire, with several reports of bigger females showing up in the reeds and under mats. Yesterday, anglers caught a significant number of bass, with some reaching up to 8 pounds. Crappie fishing is a bit iffy due to the warm water temperatures, but using a slow troll or minimal wind drift in deeper water, such as ledges and drop-offs, can yield some results.
### Types and Amounts of Fish
Bass were the stars of the show, with multiple catches reported in various areas of the lake. Crappie, bluegill, and shell crackers were also caught, although in smaller numbers. Peacock bass in the inland lakes and canals are also active.
### Best Lures and Bait
For bass, popping frogs, swim baits, swim jigs, and worms are producing well. Flipping and pitching lures around certain types of cover, such as reeds and mats, have been successful. Topwater lures worked slowly and methodically are also effective.

14 NOV 2024 · As of November 14, 2024, Lake Okeechobee is buzzing with fishing activity. The water level is still on the rise, but this hasn't deterred the fish from biting. Here’s what you need to know for a successful day on the lake.
### Weather and Tidal Conditions
The weather is expected to be partly cloudy with a high of around 78 degrees Fahrenheit and a low of 58 degrees. Sunrise is at 6:43 AM, and sunset will be at 5:23 PM. Since Lake Okeechobee is a freshwater lake, tidal reports are not applicable, but the rising water level is worth noting.
### Fish Activity
The largemouth bass bite has been exceptional, with many anglers reporting multiple catches. 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 bass, popping frogs, swim baits, swim jigs, and flipping or pitching worms have been highly effective. Some anglers have also had success with rattle traps and top water lures worked slowly around specific types of cover.
Crappie fishing is still a bit iffy due to the warm water temperatures, but this is expected to change in about three weeks as the main spawn season approaches. Currently, the best method for crappie is a slow troll or minimal wind drift in deeper water, targeting ledges and drop-offs. Road Runners in the Vibe Runner or Curly Tail series, especially in Chartreuse/Black, White, and Electric Chicken colors, have been recommended.
### Hot Spots
From the south end, try areas 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, Indian Prairie, and spots around Tin House are worth exploring. Kings Bar, Grassy, 1st/2nd points, and Nub N slough on the east side are also promising.
### Bait and Lures
For bass, live bait such as shiners has been very effective, especially when live lining. Artificial lures like popping frogs, swim baits, and swim jigs are also producing good results. For crappie, the aforementioned Road Runners and similar trolling setups are the way to go.
Overall, Lake Okeechobee is offering a great fishing experience right now, with plenty of bass and other species like bluegill and shell crackers being caught. Remember to use boater courtesy and respect other anglers on the water. If you're looking for a guided trip, local guides like Mike Jones and Captain Reinaldo have received high praise for their knowledge and patient guidance.

For crappie, a slow troll or minimal wind drift in deeper water with Road Runners in Chartreuse/Black, White, or Electric Chicken colors is recommended.
### Additional Tips
The water quality is good, but more aquatic vegetation like eel grass, pepper grass, and hydrilla would be beneficial for smaller fish and bait fish. When targeting crappie, use a rod made for trolling/drifting, such as the BnM Capps and Coleman 10ft trolling rod.
With the right gear and knowledge of these hot spots, you're set for a productive and enjoyable day on Lake Okeechobee. Remember to practice boater courtesy and respect other anglers on the water.

3 NOV 2024 · As of November 3, 2024, Lake Okeechobee is buzzing with exciting fishing opportunities. The lake level is currently at 12.74 and continues to fall, which is typical for this time of year. This drop in water level is pushing most fish to the outside areas of the lake.
The weather today is expected to be partly cloudy with a high of around 78 degrees Fahrenheit and a gentle breeze out of the northwest. Sunrise was at 6:43 AM, and sunset will be at 5:32 PM, providing ample daylight for a full day of fishing.
Fish activity has been robust, especially with the onset of winter spawning behaviors. Largemouth bass are staging for their winter procreation, concentrating along the outside fringes of inshore spawning grounds. Hot spots include the areas around the mouth of the Kissimmee River, King’s Bar, Fisheating Bay off the Harney Pond Canal, and the hayfields of the Bay Bottom area. Underwater hydrilla lines and the outermost points of cattails and bulrushes have been particularly productive.
Panfish action is also strong, with good catches of bream and crappie in the moving water at John Stretch Park in South Bay and in the Rim Canal near the Moore Haven Lock. Worms, crickets, and minnows have been excellent baits for these species.
For bass, flipping and pitching lures such as 1/2 oz tungsten weights with 4/0 Owner Rigging Hooks and lures like the Gambler Why Not in Junebug, Backatya, or Green Pumpkin colors have been very effective. Additionally, pitching Black Blue 3/4 to 1 oz jigs with a Black Blue Trailer into the reeds has yielded good results.
Live bait, particularly shiners, has also been highly successful for catching larger bass. The Observation Shoal area and Indian Prairie have been standout locations for this technique.
If you're looking to catch a variety of fish, consider heading to Pelican Bay, where you can find bass in the 1-3 pound range, often guarding beds or fry. Dead sticking a Watermelon Red Zoom Super Fluke or a Gambler Fat Ace in Watermelon Red or Junebug around the holes and pockets near lily pads can be very productive.
Overall, Lake Okeechobee is offering ideal conditions for a successful day on the water, with plenty of fish to be caught and beautiful weather to enjoy it in.

The best times to fish are late October through November, particularly in the flats around cover.
For lures, artificial baits such as the Bass Assassin “Logger Toad” or “Die Dapper” have been highly effective. Other successful lures include swim jigs, worms, flipping and pitching creature-style lures like crawdads, spinner baits, shallow crank baits, and spooks. Colors to consider are black/blue, white, red shad, June bug, tilapia, and Okeechobee craw.
Live bait is also producing great results, especially live shiners for targeting larger bass. Crappie fishing is also on fire, with minnows being the go-to bait, especially in areas like the Kissimmee River and the Rim Canal.
Hot spots include Moonshine Bay, which has become accessible again due to the higher water levels. Other prime areas are the Observation Shoal, King’s Bar, Hendry Creek, and the hayfields of the Bay Bottom area.
