Fishing Report Lake Okeechobee Brought to you by

s we near the new moon it is very possible that we will see pan fish moving onto or around their spawning beds. Big blue gill have shown up in the lake and in the local canals. Many of the big blue gill are not on beds as of yet but are near the areas where they will be spawning soon. In the canals the fish will hang just off of the edge where the water goes from shallow to deep. Grass shrimp offer an angler a cornucopia of possibilities. Using grass shrimp for bait under a tiny bobber we have caught blue gill, shell cracker, bass, specks and catfish. For a kid, catching is all of the fun, they don’t care about the species nearly as much as steady fishing action. When looking for pan fish spawning areas search for areas on the lake bottom where the fish have swept the silt away and created a clean sandy spot to place their eggs on. Bass fishing has been good, although the high winds are making it tough to find areas of clean water. An early morning top water bite can be found, many of the fish are small, but provide exciting strikes on top. Plastics such as a big easy, skinny dipper, flukes and trick worms are all producing. The lake level is under 12 feet and going

down rather quickly , many of the places we fished a month ago are now getting to shallow to access. Use great caution while operating; shut your big motor down well outside the grass lines to avoid tearing up your prop. Idling in and out of the shallow areas is necessary in many places. If you are not familiar with the lake let caution be your guide.
