 Artificial Lure here with your Lake Okeechobee fishing report for Sunday, June 22nd, 2025.

We kicked the day off with sunrise at 6:34 a.m., and anglers hit the water under classic June conditions—hot, humid, and just enough breeze to keep things interesting. Expect daytime highs in the upper 80s to low 90s, with a typical scattered shower rolling in by late afternoon. Sunset will close the day at 8:20 p.m.

Lake levels are holding steady around 11 feet, and the summer pattern is in full swing. Bass fishing is on fire, especially along river and canal edges. The Kissimmee River, Indian Prairie, and the point of Horse Island continue to produce quality largemouth, with big worms, deep-diving crankbaits, and topwater plugs being the go-to choices. Best colors right now: junebug, red shad, white, watermelon/red, along with tilapia and bream-hued crankbaits. If you’re patient and work your baits slow along drop-offs and ledges, the big girls are hitting—just ask Howard from Illinois, who bagged two “trophy catch” bass in under half an hour earlier this week, according to Captain Angie Douthit’s latest update.

The panfish bite is keeping things lively for families and shore anglers. Bluegill and shellcracker are stacking up around the grass beds, especially near the shoal, Fisheating Creek, and the bridge pilings. Crickets and red wigglers under a cork are your ticket for steady action, with some slabs still being caught on small beetle spins and mini-jigs. The crappie (speck) bite, while winding down from spring’s frenzy, is still good early in the morning using jigs or minnows around deeper water and bridge structures. Recent reports have anglers boating upwards of 100 fish on good days, with 12- to 14-inch slabs topping the stringers.

For folks seeking a peaceful day, Fisheating Creek is a must-visit. It’s perfect for kayak and bank fishing, and you’ll find a healthy mix of crappie, bluegill, and the occasional bonus bass.

Top hotspots this week:
- Indian Prairie and Horse Island point for bass and bream action.
- The shoal for both bass and panfish.
- Fisheating Creek for a tranquil, mixed-bag experience.
- Kissimmee River and canals for deeper, cooler water and consistent bass bites.

The fish are there if you put in your time and fish smart—early mornings and late evenings are prime, especially with the water heating up by midday.
