  • Catch Largemouth and Crappie at Lake Okeechobee's Hotspots with the Right Lures and Tactics

    Catch Largemouth and Crappie at Lake Okeechobee's Hotspots with the Right Lures and Tactics
    Nov 23 2024
    As of November 23, 2024, Lake Okeechobee is offering some exceptional fishing conditions. Here’s what you need to know for a successful day on the water.

    ### Weather and Tidal Conditions
    The weather is looking good with mild temperatures and partly cloudy skies, ideal for a day of fishing. Sunrise was at around 6:45 AM, and sunset will be at approximately 5:20 PM. Since Lake Okeechobee is a freshwater lake, tidal reports aren't applicable, but water levels are still rising, which can affect fish behavior.

    ### Fish Activity
    The bass bite 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 extend out, allowing more boaters to catch bass. For those targeting crappie, the bite is still a bit iffy due to warm water temperatures, but it's expected to improve in about three weeks as temperatures drop. Crappie can be found in deeper water, such as ledges and drop-offs, and can be caught using a slow troll or minimal wind drift[1][5].

    ### Types and Amounts of Fish Caught
    Yesterday saw a lot of action with largemouth bass, peacock bass, and even some crappie being caught. Bass up to 8 pounds were reported, with some bigger females showing up in the reeds and under mats. Crappie, although not as abundant yet, are starting to pick up as temperatures drop[3][4].

    ### Best Lures and Bait
    For bass, lures like popping frogs, swim baits/swim jigs, flipping/pitching worms, rattle traps, and top water lures worked slowly and methodically around cover are producing well. For crappie, Road Runners in the Vibe Runner or Curly Tail series, especially in colors like Chartreuse/Black, White, and Electric Chicken, are recommended. Live bait such as shiners is also highly effective for bass[1][5].

    ### 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 areas, 1st/2nd points, and Nub N slough on the east side are also promising[1].

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

  • Lures, Locations, and Lake Okeechobee's Bountiful Bass and Crappie Bite

    Lures, Locations, and Lake Okeechobee's Bountiful Bass and Crappie Bite
    Nov 22 2024
    As of November 22, 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 water level on Lake Okeechobee is actually rising, which is a bit unusual but seems to be benefiting the bass bite immensely[1][2].

    The weather today is expected to be partly cloudy with temperatures in the mid-70s to low 80s, making it a perfect day to be out on the lake. Sunrise was at around 6:45 AM, and sunset will be at approximately 5:20 PM.

    Fish activity has been robust, particularly for largemouth bass. The bass bite has been on fire, with many anglers reporting multiple catches throughout the day. Bass are staging for their winter spawning, so they are starting to congregate around the outside fringes of inshore spawning grounds. Areas like the Observation Shoal, North shore, Dyess Ditch, and Tin House have been particularly active[1][2].

    For crappie, the bite is still a bit iffy due to the warm water temperatures, but this is expected to improve in about three weeks as the water cools down. Currently, the best method for crappie is a slow troll or minimal wind drift in deeper water, targeting ledges and drop-offs. 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[1].

    For bass, the most effective lures right now include popping frogs, swim baits/swim jigs, flipping/pitching worms, rattle traps, and top water lures worked slowly and methodically around cover. Areas around Uncle Joe’s, Blue Hole, Turners Cove, East Wall, Kramer Island, and Houseboat Cut 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 are hot spots[1].

    Panfish action has also been good, especially in moving water areas like John Stretch Park in South Bay and the Rim Canal near the Moore Haven Lock, where worms, crickets, and minnows are working well for mixed bags of bream and crappie[2].

    In terms of specific catches, yesterday saw a lot of bass in the 1-4 pound range, with some larger females showing up in the reeds and under mats. Crappie and bluegill were also caught in decent numbers, especially in the deeper waters and around aquatic vegetation like hydrilla and pepper grass[1][2].

    For bait, live bait such as shiners and minnows are always a good choice for bass, while for crappie, the artificial lures mentioned earlier are working well.

    If you're looking for hot spots, consider 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. These spots have been producing good numbers of fish recently[2].

    Remember to use boater courtesy and respect those around you while on the water. With the right gear and knowledge, you're set for a productive and enjoyable day on Lake Okeechobee.

  • Okeechobee Fishing Report Nov 2024: Bass Biting, Crappie Cooling, Top Spots to Try

    Okeechobee Fishing Report Nov 2024: Bass Biting, Crappie Cooling, Top Spots to Try
    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. These times are perfect 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[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. 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[1].

    Other fish like bluegill and smaller bass are also being caught while trolling for crappie, making it a fun experience for families.

    For bass, the best lures currently include popping frogs, swim baits/swim jigs, flipping/pitching worms, rattle traps, and top water lures worked slowly around cover like reeds, cattails, and bulrushes[1][2].

    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[1].

    Additionally, 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 been producing good results for both bass and panfish[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 fishing on Lake Okeechobee.
