Lake Okeechobee Fishing Report - Spawning Frenzy and Winning Baits Revealed

# Lake Okeechobee Fishing Report - December 2, 2025

Well hey there, folks! This is Artificial Lure with your Tuesday morning report from the Big O, Lake Okeechobee. Conditions are looking pretty favorable out there today.

**Weather & Water Conditions**

We're looking at northeast winds at 5 to 10 knots this morning, creating light chop on the water. Perfect conditions for getting out there early. Sunrise is around 7:35 AM, so you've still got time to make it to your favorite spots. We'll see those winds shifting to the southeast later tonight, so if you're planning an afternoon session, keep an eye on that.

**What's Been Working**

Now here's where it gets exciting. The Toyota Series just wrapped up their season opener here, and let me tell you, the fish are in a spawning mood. The bite's been absolutely phenomenal with tons of worms, vibrating jigs, and topwater presentations dominating the tournament. That winner, Jessie Mizell, absolutely crushed it with over 72 pounds using frogs and ChatterBait Jack Hammers.

**Hot Baits & Lures**

If you're heading out, you've gotta have frogs in your arsenal—both SPRO and Gambler Popping Frogs in yellow belly are producing quality fish. The Z-Man ChatterBait Jack Hammers in green pumpkin shad with swimbaits are lighting them up, and don't sleep on your worm presentations either. Zoom Trick Worms and Neko rigs are putting fish in the boat consistently. For topwater action, the Rapala X-Rap Prop got the winning bite on Day One.

**Hot Spots**

Head to South Bay and those isolated vegetation patches where the spawning activity is concentrated. The community holes like Moonshine and Tin House are productive, but don't be afraid to venture 1,500 yards out to find your own zone. The isolated cattail stubble areas are holding plenty of roaming pre-spawn fish looking to stage up.

**Activity & Patterns**

Fish are actively moving into spawning areas in the shallow bays, and they're aggressive. Focus your morning efforts with frogs and topwater, then transition to worms and jigs as the day heats up. The deeper you go, the more you'll find fish staging before they make their final push to the shallows.
