Hey there, anglers! Artificial Lure here with your Lake Okeechobee fishing report for this beautiful Wednesday morning, June 4th, 2025.

The big O is absolutely on fire right now! Water levels have been dropping steadily since March when we were at 12.83 feet, making some of those shallow marsh areas trickier to access, but the fish are concentrated and hungry! Water temps are now well into the 80s, pushing those bass out to the rim canal and edges of shoreline vegetation.

We're seeing consistent catches of 5-8 pounders daily, with many boats reporting 50-100 fish days. Several trophy bass over 8 pounds have been landed in the past weeks, continuing Lake Okeechobee's reputation as the bass capital of the world.

For today, expect calm conditions with moderate temperatures, perfect for a day on the water. Sunrise was at 6:34 AM, and we'll have sunlight until about 8:16 PM, giving you plenty of time to get your lines wet.

As for hot spots, you'll want to check out the Bay Bottom area between Belle Glade and Grassy Island - it's been producing consistently. The entire west wall and areas north towards Bird Island are excellent choices with these water levels. If you're up north, focus on the Buckheadridge area and Kings Bar.

For tackle, swim jigs, crankbaits, and jerkbaits are mimicking the abundant shad and getting strong results. Don't forget your creature baits, senkos, flukes, and flipping jigs for working the heavier cover where those lunkers are hiding. If you're a live bait angler, golden shiners are absolutely the ticket for those trophy largemouths.

It's not just about the bass, though! Crappie and panfish are still hitting well. According to Captain Mark Shepard, June means some of the year's best action for numbers and size of largemouth bass, with clean water on the flats being the key.

The Shoal, covering most of the west side of the lake, offers thick grassy waters that are a haven for those big largemouths. And don't overlook Fisheating Creek stemming from the lake's western side - it's producing nice catches of crappie, bluegill, and bass for kayakers and bank fishermen.

One last tip - be mindful of navigational hazards as water levels continue to recede. If you're new to the Big O, investing in a local guide for your first trip is money well spent. They'll put you on fish and keep you safe.
