26 MAR 2025 · Hey there, fellow anglers! Artificial Lure here with your Lake Okeechobee fishing report for March 26, 2025. Sunrise today is at 7:24 AM and sunset will be at 7:34 PM, giving us a full day of fishing action.
Weather-wise, we're looking at partly cloudy skies with temperatures in the mid-70s. There's a light breeze from the southeast at about 5-10 mph, which should make for some nice ripples on the water.
Now, let's talk fish! The bass bite has been on fire lately, folks. We've been seeing lots of pre-spawn and spawning activity, with some big girls in the 7-8 pound range being caught. The crappie fishing has also been excellent, with many anglers reporting 100-150 fish days and some real slabs in the 12-14 inch range.
For bass, the hot lures right now are bladed jigs, hollow-bodied frogs, and soft plastic stick baits. Don't forget to pack some punch rigs for the thick vegetation. If you're after crappie, minnows and small jigs are your best bet.
As for hot spots, the Monkey Box on the west shore has been producing some nice catches, especially for sight fishing those spawners. The North Shore area is also a good bet, with miles of cattails providing excellent cover for big bass. For you crappie enthusiasts, head to the southeast part of the lake near Belle Glade.
Live bait has been working well too. Wild shiners are always a good choice for trophy bass, while minnows and crickets are great for panfish.
One last tip: keep an eye out for those bluegill beds. They're starting to move into the shallows for their spawn, and the bass are following close behind. Throwing a swim jig or a swimbait that mimics a bluegill around these areas can lead to some explosive strikes.
That's all for now, folks. Remember to stay safe out there and respect our beautiful lake. Tight lines, and I'll catch y'all next time!

24 MAR 2025 · Hey there, fellow anglers! Artificial Lure here with your Lake Okeechobee fishing report for March 24, 2025. Sunrise today is at 7:24 AM and sunset will be at 7:34 PM, giving us a full 12 hours of daylight to wet our lines. Weather's looking mighty fine with highs around 82°F and a light breeze from the southeast at 5-10 mph. Perfect conditions for a day out on the Big O!
Now, onto the fishing. Bass activity has been hot lately, especially in the early morning and late afternoon. Anglers have been reporting solid catches of largemouth in the 3-5 pound range, with a few lunkers pushing 8-9 pounds. The spawn is winding down, but there are still some big females hanging around the beds. We've been seeing lots of 5-8 pounders, with a few lucky anglers landing some real monsters in the 10-12 pound range.
Crappie fishing has also been on fire, with reports of 100-150 fish days not uncommon. Some real slabs in the 12-14 inch range weighing up to 2 pounds have been caught. Bluegill and shellcracker are starting to move shallow too, so don't forget your crickets and red worms.
For lures, topwater action has been strong early with buzzbaits and walking baits. As the sun gets up, switch to soft plastics like worms and creature baits. Swimbaits and spinnerbaits have also been producing when fished around vegetation edges. Bladed jigs and hollow-body frogs have been the ticket lately. Throw those bad boys around vegetation edges and you're in for some explosive action. For live bait, wild shiners are always a good bet for big bass.
A couple hot spots to check out: The Monkey Box on the west side has been firing lately, and the North Shore area near the Kissimmee River is holding some good fish. Don't overlook the canals either - they've been producing some quality bass for those willing to put in the time. South Bay's been good too, with some nice beds of hydrilla holding fish.
Remember, the lake level is sitting at about 13.5 feet, so be careful navigating some of the shallower areas. And don't forget to practice catch and release to keep our fishery healthy for years to come.
That's all for now, anglers. Get out there and tight lines!

23 MAR 2025 · Hey there, fellow anglers! Artificial Lure here with your Lake Okeechobee fishing report for March 23, 2025. Sunrise today was at 7:29 AM, and we'll see the sun dip below the horizon at 7:33 PM, giving us a full day to wet our lines.
Weather's looking mighty fine with highs around 80°F and a light breeze from the southeast at 5-10 mph. No tides to worry about on this big ol' freshwater lake, but water levels are holding steady at about 14 feet.
Let me tell you, the fishing's been red hot lately! We've been seeing lots of chunky largemouth bass in the 5-8 pound range, with a few lucky anglers landing some real monsters pushing 10-12 pounds. The bass are in all stages of the spawn right now, so you can find 'em shallow and deep.
Crappie fishing has also been on fire, with reports of 100-150 fish days not uncommon. Some real slabs in the 12-14 inch range weighing up to 2 pounds have been caught. Don't forget about the bluegill and shellcracker either - they're starting to move shallow for their spawn.
For bass, bladed jigs and hollow-body frogs have been the ticket. Throw those bad boys around vegetation edges and you're in for some explosive action. Soft plastic stick baits like Senkos, rigged either wacky or Texas-style, are also producing well. Don't forget to pack some punch rigs with compact craws for the thick stuff.
If you're after crappie, minnows and small jigs are the way to go. Try fishing around brush piles and stake beds. Live shiners are always a good bet for big bass if you prefer live bait.
As for hot spots, the Monkey Box on the west shore has been producing some real hawgs. The North Shore area is also a good bet, especially if the wind kicks up. For a change of pace, try the Kissimmee River - that's where the big boys have been hanging out lately.
Remember, folks, the lake's fishing small this time of year, so don't be afraid to move around until you find the honey hole. Tight lines and good luck out there!

22 MAR 2025 · Hey there, fellow anglers! Artificial Lure here with your Lake Okeechobee fishing report for March 22, 2025. Sunrise today is at 7:26 AM and sunset will be at 7:36 PM, giving us a solid 12 hours of fishing time.
Weather-wise, we're looking at a partly cloudy day with highs around 82°F and a light breeze from the southeast at 5-10 mph. No tides to worry about on this big ol' freshwater lake, but water levels are holding steady at about 13.5 feet.
Now, let's talk fish. The largemouth bass bite has been on fire lately. Anglers have been reporting excellent catches, with many fish in the 5-8 pound range and a few real lunkers pushing 10 pounds. The spawn is winding down, but there are still some big females hanging around the beds. Crappie fishing has also been productive, with limits being caught by those targeting them.
For bass, the hot lures right now are chatterbaits in white or chartreuse, large plastic worms in junebug or black/blue, and topwater frogs worked over matted vegetation. Don't forget to bring some wild shiners if you're looking for that trophy catch. Crappie anglers are having success with small jigs tipped with minnows or using Crappie Magnets in chartreuse/white.
As for hot spots, the Monkey Box on the west side of the lake has been producing some quality bass. Another area to check out is Observation Shoal, where anglers are finding good numbers of fish in the grass and reeds. For crappie, try the Kissimmee River or the canals around Clewiston.
Remember, folks, the lake level is currently at 13.5 feet, so be cautious when navigating shallow areas. And as always, practice catch and release to keep our fishery healthy for years to come.
That's all for now, anglers. Get out there and tight lines!

19 MAR 2025 · Hey y'all, Artificial Lure here with your Lake Okeechobee fishing report for March 19, 2025. The big lake's been fishing mighty fine lately, so let's dive right in.
Sunrise today was at 7:23 AM and sunset will be at 7:35 PM, giving us plenty of daylight to reel in some lunkers. Weather-wise, we're looking at partly cloudy skies with highs around 82°F and a light breeze from the southeast at 5-10 mph. Perfect conditions for a day on the water!
Now, onto the good stuff. The bass bite has been on fire recently, with lots of anglers reporting 20+ fish days. We've seen some real beauties coming in, with several 8-10 pounders caught this past week. The crappie fishing has been stellar too, with limits being caught regularly and some slabs pushing 2 pounds.
For you bass hunters, the hot lures right now are chatterbaits in white or chartreuse, big 10-inch worms in junebug or black/blue, and topwater frogs early in the morning. Don't forget to bring some wild shiners if you're looking for that trophy catch.
Crappie anglers are having success with small jigs tipped with minnows, especially around the deeper brush piles. Some folks are also doing well trolling with crankbaits.
As for hot spots, the Monkey Box has been producing some quality bass, especially around the scattered hydrilla patches. For crappie, try the deeper water near Harney Pond Canal or the grass edges in Pelican Bay.
Remember, the lake level is sitting at about 13.2 feet, so be careful navigating those shallow areas. No need for tidal reports here on the big O - we leave that ocean stuff to the coastal boys.
So grab your gear, hit the water, and let's see what you can catch. This is Artificial Lure signing off, and remember - a bad day fishing is still better than a good day at work!

17 MAR 2025 · Hey there, fellow anglers! Artificial Lure here with your Lake Okeechobee fishing report for March 17, 2025. Let me tell ya, it's shaping up to be a beautiful day on the Big O!
Sunrise was at 7:31 AM and sunset will be at 7:32 PM. Weather-wise, we're looking at partly cloudy skies with a high of 84°F and a light breeze from the southeast. Perfect conditions for a day on the water! Now, being a freshwater lake, we don't have tides to worry about, but the water level is sitting pretty at 13.2 feet above sea level.
Folks, the bass fishing has been on fire lately! We've been seeing some monster largemouths coming out of the lake, with several 8-10 pounders caught this past week. The spawn is winding down, but there are still some big females hanging around the beds.
For you crappie enthusiasts, the bite has been steady too. Anglers have been pulling in decent numbers of slabs, with some real jumbos in the 2-pound range.
As for lures, you can't go wrong with a large wild shiner if you're after those trophy bass. But if you're throwing artificials, I've been hearing great things about swimjigs in white or green pumpkin, rigged with a Zoom Super Speed Craw. Topwater frogs are working well in the early morning, especially around the lily pads.
For the crappie, small minnows are always a good bet, but if you're jigging, try a 1/16 oz jighead with a chartreuse or white soft plastic.
Now, let me hip you to a couple of hot spots. The Monkey Box on the west side of the lake has been producing some real hawgs. Also, don't overlook Harney Pond Canal - it's been on fire for both bass and crappie.
Remember, folks, the fish are there and they're hungry. You just gotta outsmart 'em! Tight lines, and I'll catch y'all next time!
