  • Summary

  • As of September 30, 2024, Lake Okeechobee is offering some exciting fishing opportunities despite the recent weather fluctuations. Here’s what you need to know for a successful day on the water.

    ### Weather and Tidal Conditions
    The weather is expected to be hot with occasional rain showers, typical for this time of year. Sunrise is at around 7:15 AM, and sunset will be at about 7:15 PM. The water temperature is just right, making it an ideal time for fishing.

    ### Fish Activity
    Fishing has been pretty good, especially coming off the full moon. Bass, particularly females, have been on the move for spawning. You can expect a strong bite as the water cools and bass feed up for winter. Crappie and bluegill are also active, with crappie starting to move into the shallows.

    ### Catch Reports
    Yesterday saw some impressive catches. Anglers reported catching around 20 bass up to 8 pounds using live shiners. Crappie, bluegill, and even some shell crackers were also landed. The fish are biting well, especially in the early mornings and late afternoons when the weather is more pleasant.

    ### Best Lures and Bait
    For bass, using both artificial lures and live bait is effective. Topwater lures and shiners are particularly good for this time of year. For crappie, jigging with small jigs or using minnows can yield great results. Bluegill are still on and around their beds, so small jigs or live worms work well.

    ### Hot Spots
    Some of the best areas to fish right now include the North shore, Tin House, Observation Shoal, Kissimmee River, J & S canal, and parts of Kings Bar. These spots offer good vegetation and shallow waters where bass and crappie tend to congregate.

    ### Tips
    To make the most of your day, get out on the water early in the morning or late in the afternoon to avoid the heat. Bring sunscreen, sun protection, and a smile, as the guides will provide the necessary rods, reels, and tackle. With the right gear and knowledge of the lake, you’re set for a fun-filled and productive day fishing Lake Okeechobee. Stay safe out on the water
