  • Bumper Crappie and Trophy Largemouth Haul on Lake Okeechobee

    Bumper Crappie and Trophy Largemouth Haul on Lake Okeechobee
    May 18 2025
    Good morning anglers this is Artificial Lure bringing you your May 18th Lake Okeechobee fishing report. We are waking up to a beautiful morning on the Big O with temperatures heading for the low 80s by midday. Winds are light so you can expect calm water across most of the lake.

    Sunrise hit at 6:47 AM and you will have fishing light until sunset at 8:03 PM. Water levels are still slowly falling and are now just above 11 feet, which is lower than average for May. This has pulled both bass and crappie into tighter groups, and the bite has been nothing short of outstanding all week long.

    Bass fishing is red hot right now. Reports are showing steady catches of 5 to 8 pound largemouths, with some trophy fish over 8 pounds landed in the last few days. Some boats are seeing up to 100 fish in a day. The FWC TrophyCatch program has tallied up over 400 lunker bass already this season. If you are looking for numbers and size, you will not be disappointed.

    Crappie anglers are grinning ear to ear with 100 to 150 fish days and plenty of big slabs in the 12 to 14 inch range, some pushing two pounds. This is top notch crappie fishing and a great chance to fill your cooler for a fish fry.

    For best results on bass, go with soft plastics like watermelon red or junebug worms, flukes or creature baits fished in and around hydrilla and reed patches. Early in the day, try topwater frogs and spooks for explosive strikes. Live wild shiners are always a slam dunk if you want to hook into the biggest fish of the day.

    Crappie are biting best on live minnows under the bobber and small jigs in white or chartreuse colors. Hit the edges of the grass lines or the mouths of canals, especially where moving water is bringing in bait.

    A couple of hot spots this week are the Tin House Cove area and the rim canal near Harney Pond. These places have both been producing big numbers and quality fish for bass and crappie alike.

    Tides are not a huge factor on Lake O, but wind-driven current around the lake edges can really stack the fish, so keep an eye out for moving water.

    All in all, weather and fishing conditions could not be better for a day on the water. Tight lines and good luck out there, folks.

  • Big O Fishing Report - Stellar Bass, Crappie & Bluegill Action on Lake Okeechobee

    Big O Fishing Report - Stellar Bass, Crappie & Bluegill Action on Lake Okeechobee
    May 17 2025
    Hey there, folks! Artificial Lure here with your Saturday morning fishing report for the Big O on May 17th, 2025.

    We're looking at another beautiful day on Lake Okeechobee with temperatures expected to hit the low 80s by afternoon. The sun rose at 6:45 AM, and you'll have good fishing light until sunset at 8:07 PM. Winds are staying light today at around 5-7 mph, creating near-perfect conditions across the lake.

    Water levels have been steadily falling for months now, currently sitting just above 11 feet, which is below our typical May average. This drop has concentrated the fish into predictable areas, and let me tell you, the fishing has been absolutely phenomenal!

    The bass bite remains red hot! We're consistently seeing 5-8 pounders coming to the boat, with many anglers reporting 50-100 fish days. Several trophy largemouths over 8 pounds were landed this past week. Your best bet for these chunky bass has been flipping heavy cover with creature baits or working topwater frogs early morning along the edges of hydrilla and peppergrass. The Rim Canal and Grassy Island have been particularly productive for bass.

    The crappie fishing has been on fire too! We've had reports of 100-150 fish days with some beautiful slabs in the 12-14 inch range weighing up to two pounds. Small minnows and jigs in chartreuse or white have been the ticket. Focus on the deeper holes in the Kissimmee River or around the submerged brush piles near Harney Pond for your best shot at filling the cooler.

    For you bluegill enthusiasts, the action is heating up too, with crickets and red wigglers producing limits of hand-sized fish along the north shore vegetation lines.

    Hot spots this week include Observation Shoal for those monster bass, especially during the first few hours after sunrise. Eagle Bay has been producing consistent numbers as well. For crappie, head to King's Bar or the mouth of the Kissimmee River where the deeper channels are holding schools of these tasty panfish.

    Remember, with water levels down, be extra cautious navigating the lake, especially in the western and southern sections where some underwater hazards might be lurking closer to the surface than usual.

    That's the report for today, May 17th. This is Artificial Lure saying tight lines, wet nets, and I'll see you on the water!

  • Lake Okeechobee Fishing Report - Epic Bass & Crappie Bite on the Big O

    Lake Okeechobee Fishing Report - Epic Bass & Crappie Bite on the Big O
    May 16 2025
    Hey there, fellow anglers! Artificial Lure here with your Lake Okeechobee fishing report for this beautiful Friday morning, May 16, 2025.

    We've got another gorgeous day shaping up on the Big O with temperatures expected to climb into the mid-80s by afternoon. Water levels have been slowly falling for months, which has concentrated the fish in certain areas and made for some fantastic action lately.

    The bass fishing has been nothing short of spectacular! Many anglers have been reporting excellent catches, with some lunkers in the 7-pound range being landed. Just last week, we had a gentleman catch the biggest bass of his life - a whopping 7-pounder! The bass are hitting hard on plastic worms and topwater lures early in the morning, especially around the vegetation edges.

    The crappie bite has been absolutely on fire in recent weeks! We've seen many 100-150 fish days with some really nice 12-14 inch specimens weighing up to two pounds. If you're targeting these tasty panfish, try using small jigs or minnows around deeper structure.

    For those looking for hot spots, I'd recommend checking out the areas around Observation Shoal and the Kissimmee River mouth. The vegetation edges near Harney Pond Canal have also been producing consistently good numbers of bass. For crappie, focus on the deeper channels and structure.

    Sunrise today was around 6:40 AM and sunset will be approximately 8:10 PM, giving you plenty of daylight hours on the water. The early morning and evening hours have been most productive, so plan accordingly.

    Best baits right now include wild shiners for those trophy bass, while artificial lure enthusiasts should focus on spinner baits, plastic worms in june bug or watermelon red colors, and topwater frogs around vegetation. For crappie, small jigs in chartreuse or white have been working wonders.

    The guides have been keeping busy, with Captains Mike and Bill putting clients on fish consistently. If you're new to the lake, booking a trip with a local guide can really help you dial in on the action.

    Remember folks, the fishing pressure has been relatively light during weekdays, so if you can swing it, try to get out there before the weekend crowds arrive. The fish are biting, the weather is perfect, and Lake Okeechobee is showing why it's known as the bass fishing capital of the South!

    This is Artificial Lure signing off until next time. Tight lines, y'all!
