  • Stellar Fishing on Lake Okeechobee: Late Spring Action Heats Up on Bass and Crappie

    Stellar Fishing on Lake Okeechobee: Late Spring Action Heats Up on Bass and Crappie
    May 23 2025
    This is Artificial Lure with your Lake Okeechobee fishing report for Friday, May 23, 2025. We’re coming off a string of stellar fishing days, and the action around the Big O is still red hot.

    Starting with the weather, we had a comfortable morning around the low 70s, climbing into the mid-80s as the day rolls on. Winds are light, making it easy to fish both open water and tucked-in spots along the grass lines. Sunrise was at 6:45 AM, and you’ll have good light on the water until sunset around 8:05 PM, so there’s still plenty of time to make something happen out there[5].

    Lake levels remain low for late May, sitting just above 11 feet. That’s been slowly dropping, and the falling water has bunched up the fish in more predictable areas. That’s been a big help, especially for anyone targeting both bass and crappie. You can expect most fish to be holding tight to structure, whether it’s grass mats, reed lines, or submerged brush piles[1][3][5].

    Let’s talk about what’s biting. Bass fishing has been absolutely electric. Most days, folks are reporting 30 to 80 bass per boat, and the quality is just as strong as the numbers. Five to eight pounders are coming in with regularity, and there have been several trophies over eight pounds caught this week. One fisherman even landed a seven-pounder that made his trip[4][5]. The best lures right now are black and blue jigs, Texas-rigged soft plastics in junebug and watermelon, and white swimbaits. Early morning topwater action is also strong with buzzbaits and frogs—perfect for the first couple hours after sunrise.

    Don’t sleep on the crappie either. The bite has been on fire for weeks now, with many boats catching limits of 12- to 14-inch slabs. Some days folks are catching 100 to 150 crappie per trip. Small jigs in chartreuse or pink, either tipped with minnows or fished solo, are the ticket. Focus on the deeper edges of the grass beds and submerged brush piles[2][4].

    A couple hot spots you’ll want to check out are the Tin House Cove shoreline and the grass flats near Harney Pond. Both areas are holding a mix of bass and crappie, especially early and late in the day. If the sun gets up and things slow down, try flipping the mats with heavier gear or drifting live shiners for a big bite.

    Tides don’t play as big a role here as in saltwater, but the current from wind-driven water does matter. Fish position changes with the wind, so keep an eye out for moving water and baitfish activity.

    All in all, it’s one of the best late spring runs we’ve seen in a while. Get out there and take advantage while the bite is hot. Good luck and happy fishing from Artificial Lure[5].

  • Reel in the Big Bass and Crappie Bonanza on Lake Okeechobee's Prolific Spring Fishing

    Reel in the Big Bass and Crappie Bonanza on Lake Okeechobee's Prolific Spring Fishing
    May 21 2025
    Artificial Lure here with your Lake Okeechobee fishing report for Wednesday, May 21, 2025. The Big O is living up to its reputation this week, with water levels still slowly falling and sitting just above 11 feet, lower than our typical May average. That drop has stacked up the bass and crappie in tighter schools, making for some prime fishing conditions out there.

    Weather today started off in the low 70s at sunrise, which was right around 6:45 AM, and we’re looking at a high in the mid-80s by later afternoon. Winds are staying easy, giving us glassy water across most of the lake. Sunset will be around 8:05 PM tonight, so there’s plenty of daylight to get in on the action[2][4].

    Bass fishing has been absolutely red hot. Anglers are reporting 50-100 fish days, with plenty of 5 to 8 pound largemouths being caught. There have even been some trophies over 8 pounds coming in this past week, and more than a few folks have said they’ve caught the biggest bass of their lives out here recently[2][3][5]. Crappie are also biting like crazy, with some boats pulling in 100-150 slabs a day, a lot of them in the 12-14 inch, two-pound range[3].

    As for lures, your best bet right now is working the outside grass lines with moving baits. Try a white or shad-colored chatterbait, spinnerbait, or a swim jig early in the morning. Once that sun gets high, switch over to soft plastics like Senkos or speed worms, especially in Junebug or watermelon red colors. Live wild shiners are always a sure thing if you want to go the bait route for big bass. For crappie, jigs in white or chartreuse are producing, and live minnows will fill your livewell in a hurry[5].

    If you’re looking for hot spots, South Bay is producing great bass action, especially along the outside grass edges. The Tin House Cove area is another solid choice, both for bass and slabs. Eagle Bay and the Kissimmee River mouth are loaded up with fish right now too, thanks to that lower water[2][4][5].

    With these water levels, be extra careful running outside the grass lines, as rocks and shallows are lurking just beneath the surface. If you’re not sure, best to idle through the tricky spots or link up with a local guide who knows the safe routes.

    Get out there and enjoy this prime spring bite on Lake Okeechobee. Tight lines and stay safe on the water!

  • "Big Bass, Slab Crappie, and Healthy Habitat on Lake Okeechobee"

    "Big Bass, Slab Crappie, and Healthy Habitat on Lake Okeechobee"
    May 19 2025
    Howdy folks, Artificial Lure here with your Lake Okeechobee fishing report for this fine Monday morning, May 19th, 2025.

    The water levels have been slowly falling for months now, sitting at about 12.5 feet above sea level. This lower water has been great for vegetation growth, which means better habitat for our bass population and improved water clarity thanks to those hardworking grass shrimp.

    Let me tell you, the fishing has been absolutely on fire lately! The Crappie bite has been spectacular with many anglers reporting 100-150 fish days. Some real slabs out there too, with 12-14 inchers weighing up to two pounds being caught regularly.

    As for the largemouth bass, they're still king on Big O. Guides have been reporting daily catches of bass in the 5-8 pound range, with some lucky anglers landing monsters up to 7 pounds. On a good day, you can expect to boat 50-100 quality fish if you know what you're doing.

    For those looking to get in on the action, I recommend focusing on the outside grass lines where the water's deeper. Be careful navigating though - there are rock formations scattered throughout the lake that can tear up your lower unit quicker than a gator can snap up a shiner. If you're new to the lake, consider hiring a local guide who knows the safe routes.

    Best spots right now? The areas around Clewiston have been producing consistently. Also worth checking out are the deeper vegetation edges where bass are holding before the real summer heat pushes them deeper.

    For tackle, plastic worms and swimbaits have been working great for the bass. For those crappie, small jigs in white and chartreuse are hard to beat. Live shiners are always a solid choice for the bigger bass if artificial lures aren't getting it done.

    Remember to stay off those grass beds and make sure you're idling in the appropriate zones. The FWC officers are out and about, and they don't take kindly to tearing up the habitat.

    Weather looks stable this week with typical May patterns - morning fishing should be your best bet before the afternoon heat and potential thunderstorms roll in.

    That's all for now, folks. This is Artificial Lure saying tight lines and good fishing to ya! Get out there while the bite is hot!
