Lake Okeechobee March Fishing Report: Bass Biting, Crappie Hot and Ideal Conditions on the Big O
Hey there, fellow anglers! Artificial Lure here with your Lake Okeechobee fishing report for March 21, 2025. Sunrise today was at 7:28 AM and sunset will be at 7:30 PM. We've got clear skies and a high of 82°F, with light winds out of the southeast at 5-10 mph. Perfect conditions for a day on the Big O!
The lake level is sitting at 14.2 feet, which is about average for this time of year. With the water temps in the mid-70s, the bass bite has been on fire lately. Anglers have been reporting excellent catches, with many fish in the 4-6 pound range and a few real lunkers over 8 pounds. The spawn is winding down, but there are still some big females hanging around the beds.
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 fishing has also been productive, especially in the early mornings and late evenings. 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 is big, but the fish are biting all over. Don't be afraid to explore new areas and switch up your techniques. And as always, practice catch and release to keep our fishery healthy for years to come. Tight lines, everyone!
