Lake Okeechobee Fishing Reports

Big Bass Daily

This is the year of the big bass on Lake Okeechobee, where big bass are being caught on a daily basis. There aren’t a lot of 10-12 pounders, but 4-8 pound fish are all over the place as was evident in the Bassmaster Elite Series event held on the big lake this past weekend.

Warm Waters Producing Monsters

Captain Michael Shellen of Shellen Guide Service out of Buckhead Ridge on Lake Okeechobee reported warm water and a 13-foot lake level is producing big largemouth bass. Pitching flukes and 10-inch worms into heavy cover and working spinner baits over that cover is getting the big fish strikes. Shell cracker fishing is picking up with the fish being found along the outside edges of the cover and along the edges of boat trails. Best baits for the shell crackers have been grass shrimp, red worms and crickets.

Conditions Have Been Windy

Windy conditions have blanketed Lake Okeechobee for two weeks now, but that hasn’t hurt the bass fishing. The majority of fish are done spawning thanks to a warm winter, but there were some fish still on the beds with last weekend’s full moon. Right now, the outside grass lines on the east side of the lake are covered up with fish. From J&S Fish Camp north to the locks, you can throw a Logger Toad or Cane Toad in the Kissimmee Grass and work it back to the boat and expect to catch 30 fish or more in a morning. Ritta Island on the south end of the lake has some nice big fish around it for anglers who want to fish live shiners.

Flipping plastic creature baits in thick vegetation and pitching plastic worms around reeds have been the best bets for bass given the cooler water temperatures. Another option is to fish crankbaits around rockpiles in the rim canal around Clewiston.

Look for night fishing to be excellent as the full moon arrives on Tuesday at 11:08 a.m.

Daytime fishing will not be rated as good as the majority of fish will feed at night. Look for fair conditions in the morning and at dusk.
