News & Reports

Late July on Lake Okeechobee

Posted by tom on July 29, 2013

20130719_073749_225x375.jpgHot, hot,  hot… man is it hot. The artificial bite remains just ok, it did take 25 pounds to win the Bass Busters tournament Saturday. Some schooling action in the morning with topwater  lipless crankbaits working the best. Most of this is taking place on the offshore reefs. With the lake being so high, 15.74 as I do this report, this is the highest I have seen it in July. I think a lot of fish have come back in to the outside grass lines. Flippin and texas- rigged Senkos and worms have been best on the outside. The live bait bite has been really good and still a lot of big fish being caught.

I have added a new feature on my website.  When you go to the fishing report, just one click and you can get the current Lake Okeechobee water level. If anyone is thinking of booking a trip this winter, do not wait too long. I will be booked solid from Christmas thru May. Calling soon will insure getting the dates you want. Come and fish the best bass fishing lake in the country…Lake Okeechobee.

 


June Bass Fishing on Lake Okeechobee

Posted by tom on June 21, 2013

20130621_083150.jpgLake Okeechobee is at 13.90. It’s been a long time since the lake has been in this good of shape going into the summer. Fishing has remained really good, it took 35lbs to win last Saturday and 30lbs to get 4th place. There are still plenty of fish in the grass and they are starting to show up offshore. The picture is of 10 year old Grant and he caught this nice fish this morning. I took him and his brother Reed for a 4 hour morning trip and they both caught some good fish. Swimjigs, Senkos and lipless crankbaits have been working best. As always, if you want to catch a big fish on Lake Okeechobee you want to take some shiners. I expect the lake to fish good all summer with this water level. Give me a call and come fish the best lake in the country.


Lake Okeechobee Big Bass Still Biting!

Posted by tom on May 28, 2013

20130525_081257.jpgThe past couple of weeks have been interesting on Lake Okeechobee. We had an early algae bloom that turned the water green, the good news is the fish are still biting. The last two tournaments took 37 and 34 last weekend. The live bait fishing has been great, the guys in the pic are Rocco (The Rock) and Jake Solomon, two brothers I took out this past Saturday. Rock caught his biggest bass ever…8.37 pounds and we caught lots of bass. The artificial bite has remained good. Some big fish are still being caught on the 1oz jigs. Numbers and big fish for me it’s the Senko in watermelon red. Another bait that I have fell in love with is the Kinami Psycho Dad. I have been pitching this bait in the isolated reed patches and catching some real good fish. If you have not tried this bait give it a try. I am sure you will like it. Lake Okeechobee water level is 13.40, still in great shape. As long as it stays high the fish will remain in the grass. Don’t hesitate to come fish the best bass lake in the country in the summer… it’s still good fishing.
