Lake Okeechobee Fishing Report Brought to you by
T
he number one question this week was how windy is it going to be, and where are we going to be able to fish? The intermittent rain and sometimes windy conditions made running all over the lake a tricky situation. Fly fishing anglers are still having a heyday using small poppers and floating rubber legged spiders. Small bass and blue gill are more than willing to crash the surface and gulp in a small offering floating on top. Local canals offer some shelter from the wind and also hold good numbers of fish. Bass fishing is still good, although the fish don’t seem to be holding in every area of the lake as they were all summer. The fish seem to be scattered, moving around following the available bait sources. The Kissimmee River is still yielding a lot of quality fish for those that like fishing the deeper water.
The water temperatures have cooled off considerably in the last few weeks and we are approaching the time of year when big bass will start showing up in big numbers. Shiner fishing is heating up with good numbers of fish eating live bait and there are some better fish in the mix. The north shore, Tin House Cove and Kings Bar are all yielding fish to determined anglers.
Okeechobee Main Street is in the process of gathering candy for the
2011 Halloween Celebration!
