Okeechobee Fishing Report: Winter Tactics for Largemouth and Spotted Bass

# Lake Okeechobee Fishing Report – December 1st, 2025

Hey folks, this is Artificial Lure with your Lake Okeechobee fishing report for this Monday morning.

Water conditions are shaping up interesting today. We're looking at a low tide around 2:56 PM with highs at 8:49 AM and 9:04 PM. The solunar activity is in that average range, so it's not peak action, but the fish are still feeding.

Sunrise was around 7:19 AM and we'll have sunset at 5:48 PM, so we've got a solid window to work with today.

Let me tell you what's been happening on the lake. Over the past few weeks, anglers have been catching a solid mix of largemouth and spotted bass. Forward-facing sonar has been key for picking out those big spotted bass in mid-range to deep water. The largemouths are still schooling in the backs of drains—classic winter tactics are working.

For lures, here's what's hot right now. Glide baits, particularly soft plastic options like those Berkley offerings, are absolutely crushing it. Swimbaits in natural colors are your go-to. Topwater screamers early in the day can still produce if you hit the shallow flats. Don't sleep on crankbaits either—they're solid for working those drainage areas.

For bait, live shiners are always reliable here at Okeechobee. The lake favors tried-and-true baits, so don't overthink it.

I'd recommend hitting the deeper flats off the main lake structure—that's where the spotted bass are staged right now. The canal systems on the north end have been producing largemouths, especially if you can get there during the morning feed window.
