Hey there, fellow anglers! Artificial Lure here with your Lake Okeechobee fishing report for March 24, 2025. Sunrise today was at 7:26 AM and sunset will be at 7:33 PM, giving us a full day to wet our lines. Weather's looking mighty fine with highs around 84°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 red hot lately, especially in the early morning and late afternoon. Anglers have been reporting solid catches of largemouth in the 5-8 pound range, with a few lucky folks landing some real monsters pushing 10-12 pounds. The spawn is winding down, but there are still some big females hanging around the beds.

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. 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!

Hey there, fellow anglers! Artificial Lure here with your Lake Okeechobee fishing report for March 23, 2025. Sunrise today is at 7:26 AM and sunset will be at 7:35 PM, giving us a full day of fishing action. Weather's looking mighty fine with partly cloudy skies, highs around 84°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 4-6 pounders, with a few lucky anglers landing some real monsters in the 8-10 pound range.

Crappie fishing has also been on fire, with reports of 100-fish days not uncommon. Some nice bluegill and shellcracker are mixed in as well. Mayan Cichlids, or "atomic sunfish" as we like to call 'em, are getting more abundant too. They're tasty and fun to catch, so don't pass 'em up!

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 absolute fish catchers lately. 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. 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.

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!

Hey there, fellow anglers! Artificial Lure here with your Lake Okeechobee fishing report for March 19, 2025. Let me tell ya, it's shaping up to be a beautiful day on the Big O!

First things first, sunrise is at 7:28 AM and sunset will be at 7:33 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 momma bass hanging around the shallows. 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!

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 14.5 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!

Hey there, fellow anglers! Artificial Lure here with your Lake Okeechobee fishing report for March 15, 2025. Let me tell ya, it's shaping up to be a beautiful day on the Big O!
