あらすじ・解説
As of December 12, 2024, the fishing scene at Lake Okeechobee is buzzing with activity. The tide, though not a major factor in freshwater lakes like Okeechobee, is often influenced by other environmental conditions. However, for those interested, the nearby coastal areas are experiencing a rising tide, but this does not directly impact Lake Okeechobee.
The weather is mild, with sunrise at 6:30 AM and sunset at 8:19 PM, providing ample daylight for a full day of fishing. The bass and crappie bite is in full swing, making this an ideal time to hit the water.
Yesterday saw a strong catch of both largemouth bass and black crappie. For bass, anglers had success using worms, swim jigs, swim baits, spinner baits, slow-working top waters, popping frogs, and shallow jerk baits. The flipping and pitching technique also yielded good results. Crappie were caught using live minnows and specialist crappie jigs on light spinning gear.
If you're looking for hot spots, consider the Observation Shoal, particularly the area mid-way down towards the blue hole and back towards the second pole into Moonshine Bay. The Monkey Box, North/West side of Dupree Bar, around Dyess Ditch, and the point of Horse Island are also productive areas. Don't overlook the areas around Indian Prairie, Tin House, Kings Bar, Grassy, and Nub N Slough, especially on low wind days.
For those preferring to fish from shore or by boat, Clewiston on the Southwest shore is a great spot, especially the Monkey Box area for largemouth bass. Belle Glade, between Grassy Island and Torry Island, is renowned for its calm waters and excellent black crappie fishing.
With the right tackle and lures, you're set for a memorable day on Lake Okeechobee. Don't forget to bring a medium-size cooler with ice if you plan to take home some crappie, along with drinks and snacks to keep you energized throughout the day. Enjoy your fishing trip
