  • Dynamite Fishing on Lake Okeechobee: Perfect Conditions for Largemouth Bass and Crappie Catch

    Dynamite Fishing on Lake Okeechobee: Perfect Conditions for Largemouth Bass and Crappie Catch
    Nov 2 2024
    As of November 2, 2024, Lake Okeechobee is buzzing with activity, making it an exciting time for anglers. The weather is mild, with temperatures ranging from the mid-60s to the mid-70s, perfect for a day on the water. Sunrise is at around 6:45 AM, and sunset is expected at about 5:30 PM.

    The water level on Lake Okeechobee has been higher than usual, thanks to recent rises, which has opened up new areas for fishing and improved navigation. However, be cautious of floating debris and changing water conditions.

    Fish activity is robust, especially with the cooler weather setting in. Largemouth bass are starting to move into the back flats as the females begin their migration. Yesterday, anglers reported catching a significant number of bass, with some females weighing up to 8 pounds. 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. The mouth of the Kissimmee River and the outermost points of cattails and bulrush are also hotspots for bass and panfish.

    Overall, Lake Okeechobee is offering some of the best fishing conditions of the year, so don't miss out on this opportunity to catch some big numbers and quality largemouth bass.

  • Fishing Lake Okeechobee: Bass, Panfish, and Top Spots for a Successful Day on the Water

    Fishing Lake Okeechobee: Bass, Panfish, and Top Spots for a Successful Day on the Water
    Nov 1 2024
    As of November 1, 2024, Lake Okeechobee is offering some exciting fishing opportunities. Here’s what you need to know for a successful day on the water.

    ### Conditions
    The water level at Lake Okeechobee is currently around 15 feet, with the level slightly fluctuating due to recent rains and the approaching winter season. The weather is mild, with temperatures ranging from the mid-60s to the mid-70s, making it ideal for fishing.

    ### Sunrise and Sunset
    Sunrise today is at around 7:15 AM, and sunset will be at approximately 5:45 PM. These times are crucial as the early morning and late afternoon to early evening periods are key for catching bass and bream.

    ### Fish Activity
    Fishing is picking up significantly, especially for largemouth bass, peacock bass, and panfish. Bass are staging for their winter spawn, concentrating along the outside fringes of inshore spawning grounds. Underwater hydrilla lines, the outermost points of cattails and bulrush, and areas around the mouth of the Kissimmee River and King’s Bar are hot spots.

    ### Types and Amounts of Fish
    Yesterday saw a good number of bass caught, with some larger females showing up in the reeds and under mats. Anglers reported catching around 20 bass in a few hours, with some fish weighing up to 8 pounds. Panfish action has also been very good, particularly in the moving water at John Stretch Park in South Bay and the Rim Canal near the Moore Haven Lock, where worms, crickets, and minnows were effective.

    ### Best Lures and Bait
    For bass, lures such as worms, swim baits, shallow crank baits, top water lures, frogs, and the flipping/pitching technique with creature-style lures like crawdads are working well. Color patterns that are catching bass include Junebug, Redbug, White, Okeechobee Craw, Alabama Craw, Tilapia, and black/blue. Live bait, especially live shiners and crickets, is also highly effective.

    ### Hot Spots
    - **Observation Shoal**: This area has been producing well, especially when flipping and pitching the outside grass and Buggy Whips.
    - **Harney Pond Canal**: The North shore area, including Dyess Ditch and Harney Pond, is another prime spot.
    - **King’s Bar and Fisheating Bay**: These areas are seeing concentrations of bass along the outermost points of cattails and bulrush.

    If you're launching on the West side, stop by Jack’s Big Water Bait & Tackle store for all your tackle needs. With the right gear and knowledge of these hot spots, you're set for a productive and fun-filled day on Lake Okeechobee.

    ### Weather and Tidal Conditions
    The weather is expected to be partly cloudy with a high of around 78 degrees Fahrenheit and a low of 63 degrees. There is a slight chance of rain, but it shouldn't hinder your fishing plans. Since Lake Okeechobee is a freshwater lake, tidal reports are not applicable, but water levels have been stable around the 15-foot mark.

    ### Sunrise and Sunset
    Sunrise today is at 7:30 AM, and sunset will be at 6:00 PM, providing ample time for both early morning and late afternoon fishing.

    ### Fish Activity
    Fishing has been picking up significantly, with largemouth bass, peacock bass, and bream all biting well. Yesterday saw a lot of action, particularly with bass moving into the shallows in preparation for the first spawn of the season. Anglers reported catching around 20 bass up to 8 pounds in just a few hours, using both live bait and artificial lures.

    ### Types and Amounts of Fish
    The primary catches include largemouth bass, peacock bass, bream, and some tropical invasive species like Mayan cichlids and Oscars. Bream are still active in and around their beds, and catfish are also being caught using live worms.

    ### Best Lures and Bait
    For bass, the most effective lures have been worms, swim baits, jigs, shallow crank baits, top water lures, and frogs. The flipping and pitching technique has also been successful. For bream, live crickets or worms are the way to go. When using worms, be prepared to catch catfish and other tropical invasive fish as well.

    ### Hot Spots
    Some of the best areas to fish include Buckhead Ridge, Tin House, the North shore area around Dyess Ditch and Harney Pond, Dupree bar, Monkey Box, and parts of Observation Shoal down to the Blue Hole area. If you're launching on the West side, stop by Jack’s Big Water Bait & Tackle store at the Harney Pond Canal for all your tackle needs.
