Lake Okeechobee is firing off with numbers and size! Customers are catching em on topwater swimjigs swimming worms hollowbody frogs rattletraps and flippin the grass. Should be some of the best fishing we’ll see in the next couple months with the warmer weather.

This past week the weather warmed up and so did the bass fishing! Customers caught fish on swimjigs swimming worms popping frogs and pitching. We are coming into some of my favorite months of the year for bass fishing as winter is ending and spring is near should be some of the best fishing we’ll see all year!

The weather and water temps are warming up and the bass fishing has picked up! This past week there was plenty of bass caught on artificial baits from 2 to 7lbs. The water level is coming down and the fish are up shallow which makes for some fun fishing. The weather forecast for the next week is showing more warm weather and should keep the bass biting!

The past week we have experienced some of the coldest cold fromts on Lake Okeechobee and the coldest water temps I’ve seen in a long time. The cold water temps has slowed the bass fishing down this week but we should start to see the bite picking up after this weekend as we have some warmer weather forecasted all next week. Capt. Rich

The fishing on Lale Okeechobee has been good with some good numbers and quality size bass in between the cold fronts. Today father and son got to get out with me for their first time on Lake O and they had a blast catching around 20 bass. They caught em on a Gambler 6” burner worm and with some of the better size fish coming on swim jigs. This upcoming week we have another major cold front coming in thats goin to last for at least a week which will slow the artificial bite down and live wild shiners would be the best bet. Capt Rich.

January 10th 2026. I had some customers that really wanted to catch some peacocks with the cooler water temps we knew it might be tough on the bite. We got plenty of bass and clownknife fish to bite to make up for the peacockbass. I’ll be back out on Lake Okeechobee the up coming week as the bass fishing has really picked up.
