 Artificial Lure here with your Lake Okeechobee fishing report for Saturday, June 21st, 2025.

We kicked off the morning with sunrise at 6:34 AM and calm, muggy South Florida air—typical for late June. Sunset’s lined up for 8:16 PM, so there’s plenty of daylight left to get in on the hot bite. Temperatures soared into the upper 80s by midday, with a southeast breeze keeping things just bearable on the open water. Water levels are hovering steady near 11 feet, according to Captain Angie’s recent report, which concentrates fish and keeps the action within easy reach of shoreline and canal anglers.

Let’s talk fish activity—Bass fishing remains on fire this June. Several locals and guide clients have landed real trophy bass, with plenty of four- and five-pounders and the occasional hawg over seven pounds. Most of this action is coming early, so beat the heat and get on the water at first light. Best results have come from the Kissimmee River channel, Canals, and main lake points like Tin House Cove, Indian Prairie, and the point at Horse Island.

Crappie (speck) fishing has also been excellent. Captain Experiences reports right now some groups are catching up to 100-150 crappie a day, with slabs running 12-14 inches and close to two pounds. Bridge pilings and shaded bends in canals are loaded with fish. Bluegill are still bedding in the shallow flats, providing non-stop fun—especially for folks fishing with kids.

When it comes to bait and lures, here’s what’s working:
- For bass: Big worms (Junebug, Redshad), deep-diving crankbaits in bream or tilapia patterns, white or watermelon/red soft plastics, and topwater plugs early. Swim baits and flipping jigs along outside grass edges have landed the biggest fish.
- For crappie: Small jigs or live minnows fished tight to structure are your best bet.
- For bluegill: Crickets or worms under a float can’t be beat.

Top hot spots for today:
- The Shoal on the west side is a proven area for both bass and bluegill, especially along the thick grass lines.
- Deeper water near Clewiston all the way to Ritta Island is still holding bigger bass, and the tin house area is reliable if you want to fish the flats for both panfish and bucket mouths.
- For peace and a chance at multi-species action, Fisheating Creek remains a local favorite for kayak and bank anglers.

Action's been best at dawn, slowing down by mid-day. Anglers are reporting some mid-afternoon bites picking up around windblown points as storms threaten, so don’t leave early if you’ve got the patience.

Thanks as always for tuning in to the Lake Okeechobee report, folks. Don’t forget to subscribe for the latest on where they’re biting and what’s hitting. This has been a quiet please production, for more check out quiet please dot ai.
