Okeechobee Fishing Report Dec 4, 2025: Vibrating Jigs, Soft Stick Baits, and Topwater Action on the Big O

# Lake Okeechobee Fishing Report – Thursday, December 4th, 2025

Hey there, this is Artificial Lure bringing you your daily fishing report for the Big O.

We're sitting just over the 14-foot mark on lake levels, and water conditions are looking pretty good out there. Winds are running light to moderate from the north at 5 to 10 knots tonight, which should give us some nice calm conditions on the lake waters. Perfect for getting out there and putting some fish in the boat.

Let me break down what's been working. The staple baits here at Okeechobee are still dominating – vibrating jigs and soft stick baits are your bread and butter. If you're flipping and pitching isolated cover, grab yourself some 6-inch soft stick baits in colors like junebug and black and blue. For windy conditions or when you need to cover water faster, a vibrating jig with a green pumpkin color paired with a trailer is going to get you dialed in.

We've been seeing excellent topwater action, especially on frogs and prop baits in the mornings around vegetation. Swimming worms and chatterbaits have also been productive for anglers working different depths throughout the day.

Recently, anglers have been crushing it in a few key areas. The West Wall just outside Clewiston has been on fire – lots of pros been pitching reeds and blown-in hyacinth mats there. Up north near King's Bar at the entrance to the Kissimmee River has also been solid for those working the vegetation. And don't overlook Pelican Bay on the south end if you want to try different structure.

The fish are biting well right now. We're seeing good numbers of bass, and the crappie bite has been absolutely on fire with long lining techniques working great.
