  • Fishing on Fire at Lake Okeechobee with Massive Bass and Crappie Catches
    May 25 2025
    Good morning anglers! Artificial Lure here with your Sunday fishing update for the Big O.

    We're looking at another gorgeous morning out on Lake Okeechobee with temps starting in the low 70s and expected to climb into the mid-80s by afternoon. The sun rose at about 6:45 AM and you'll have good fishing light until sunset around 8:05 PM. Winds are staying nice and light today, making for perfect conditions all across the lake.

    Water levels continue their steady decline, now sitting at 10.93 feet, down from 10.95 feet just yesterday. We're well below the typical May average, which has really concentrated the fish and created some exceptional fishing opportunities.

    Let me tell you folks, the bass fishing remains absolutely on fire! We're consistently seeing 5-8 pounders daily, with some boats reporting 50-100 fish days. Several trophy largemouths over 8 pounds were landed this past week. If you're after bass, focus on the outer edges of reed lines and isolated vegetation patches where they're holding tight with these lower water levels.

    The crappie bite has been equally impressive. Many anglers are reporting 100-150 fish days with some beautiful specimens in the 12-14 inch range, weighing up to two pounds. These slabs are really putting up a fight!

    For bass, I'm having great success with large plastic worms in junebug and red shad colors, slow-rolled spinnerbaits along drop-offs, and topwater frogs early morning near vegetation. For crappie, small minnows and jigs in chartreuse or white have been producing limits in no time.

    Hot spots this week include the Harney Pond Canal area where the lower water has created some excellent channels, and the Kissimmee River mouth where bass are stacking up. The north end of the lake near Indian Prairie Canal has been producing some monster catches as well.

    Local guides like Captain Bill and Mike have been putting clients on fish consistently, with many folks limiting out before noon. One fella caught the biggest bass of his life last week – a solid 7-pounder!

    Remember, with these dropping water levels, be extra cautious about navigation. Some normally passable areas are getting skinny, so keep an eye on your depth finder.

    That's your Lake O update for today, Sunday, May 25th. Get out there and wet a line – the fish are biting! This is Artificial Lure signing off until next time. Tight lines, y'all!

  • "Stellar Bass and Slab Crappie Bite Lights Up Lake Okeechobee"
    May 24 2025
    Good morning anglers! Artificial Lure here with your Saturday fishing update for the Big O.

    We've got another gorgeous day ahead on Lake Okeechobee with temperatures starting in the low 70s this morning and climbing to the upper 80s by afternoon. Sunrise was at 6:41 AM and you'll have plenty of fishing light until sunset at 8:10 PM. Winds are staying nice and light today, making for excellent conditions across the lake.

    Water levels continue their steady decline, now sitting just above 11 feet, which is lower than our typical May average. This has been a blessing in disguise, folks! The falling water has concentrated both bass and crappie into predictable areas, creating some absolutely stellar fishing opportunities.

    Let me tell you, the bass fishing has been nothing short of spectacular lately! We're consistently seeing 5-8 pounders coming to the boat, with some guides reporting 50-100 fish days. Several trophy largemouths over 8 pounds have been landed this past week, including one fella who caught a 7-pounder that was the biggest bass of his life!

    The crappie bite has been absolutely on fire too! Many boats have been bringing in 100-150 fish days with some real slabs in the mix - we're talking 12-14 inch beauties weighing up to two pounds each. That's some serious table fare, y'all!

    For bass fishing, try working the outside grass lines with large plastic worms, swim jigs, and lipless crankbaits. The fish are holding tight to structure as the water drops, so target isolated patches of vegetation, especially around deeper holes.

    For you crappie enthusiasts, minnows under a float are still producing the best numbers, but don't sleep on small jigs in chartreuse, white, or pink if you're looking to avoid constantly rebaiting.

    Hot spots this week include Harney Pond Canal, the Kissimmee River mouth, and the northwest side of the lake around Indian Prairie Canal. The areas around Observation Shoal have also been particularly productive as the fish congregate in the remaining deeper pockets.

    Remember to bring plenty of water and sunscreen - it's getting hot out there fast, folks! And if you're hiring a guide, book with Captain Mike or Captain Bill - both have been putting clients on exceptional fish this past month.

    That's all for today's report. Until next time, this is Artificial Lure reminding you that a bad day fishing still beats a good day working! Tight lines, y'all!

  • "Slay the Big O: Phenomenal Bass & Crappie Bite on Lake Okeechobee"
    May 23 2025
    This is Artificial Lure with your Lake Okeechobee fishing report for May 23, 2025. We are sitting in the thick of prime fishing season and the action has been outstanding all around the Big O.

    Today is starting with temperatures in the low 70s and it will warm up to the mid-80s by the afternoon. Winds are mellow and the weather is clear, making for perfect conditions to wet a line. Sunrise hit at 6:45 AM and sunset will be around 8:05 PM, so there is plenty of daylight to chase those trophies[4].

    Water levels remain just above 11 feet, which is a bit below the usual for late May. These falling levels have pulled both bass and crappie into tighter, more predictable spots along the lake's outer grass lines and near structure[1][3][4]. Be careful navigating—stick to the outside grass lines where it's deeper, since rocks can tear up your lower unit if you aren't careful[5].

    Bass fishing has been phenomenal. Boats are regularly reporting 50 to 100 fish days with lots of quality largemouth in the 5 to 8 pound range, and several trophy-sized bass—some over 8 pounds—caught just this week[4][5]. Most of the action is coming on soft plastics like Zoom Speed Worms, Senkos, and creature baits in watermelon red and junebug. For those who like to throw artificial, spinnerbaits and chatterbaits along the grass edges are also producing well, especially early and late in the day[4].

    The crappie bite is still hot, too. Anglers are pulling in limits with some slabs reaching 12 to 14 inches and up to 2 pounds. Jigs tipped with minnows are the ticket, fished around the thicker vegetation and in the shallower pockets as the water continues to recede[2][4].

    Live wild shiners are always a top choice for bigger bass, especially if you're after that trophy bite. But don’t overlook the action you’ll get working soft plastics through the holes in the grass mats or along the outside edges.

    A couple current hot spots I recommend: try the outside grass lines near Harney Pond and the Monkey Box area, which have both been consistent for good numbers and bigger fish. The north shore around Tin House Cove is another steady producer, especially if you’re targeting crappie or working for bass early in the morning before the sun gets high[4][5].

    All in all, today’s conditions are just about perfect for anglers looking to get in on the action. Stay safe, watch those shallows, and enjoy some of the best fishing Florida has to offer. Tight lines, and I’ll see you out on the water.
