Lake Okeechobee fishing report July, 2025, submitted by Capt. Angie Douthit, Okeechobee, FL
Lake O’s water level has been extremely low but bass and bream fishing has been on fire, both out on the lake and the Kissimmee River. Lower water level while navigating the lake is very dangerous, please use caution while navigating. The bluegill have been biting more aggressively out on the lake and fishing the River using red worms and ultra light spinning gear tackle. When lively crickets and grass shrimp are available I use them as bait as well. Quality and Quantity size bass are being caught around the Tin house and Observation Shoal areas of the lake and the Kissimmee River. Lures for bass that have been producing are: worms; crank baits; spinner baits; jigs; top water and C-Rigs. Color choices have been: red shad; june bug; white; watermelon/red flake; bream color (crank baits); green-pumpkin and tilapia. The Summer months is the best time to catch the bream on/around the beds and it provides a lot of fun action for everyone and provides some tasty meals as well. Meeting my clients at daylight fishing until around noon or so has been best to avoid afternoon t-storms and hot temperatures. Crappie are biting but it’s a slow bite, best time is early morning hours and late afternoon around structure such as bridge pilings; steep drop offs with lures or minnows. A good time of year to fish for crappie is the spawning months such as October-April which is the busy time of year so book your trip early in the season to get your preferred timeframe. I can accommodate groups; one-person trips (discount available); VET discounts and multi-days. If you have a certain timeframe that works best for you, that’s not a problem, I work around your schedule and can accommodate with a 4, 6 or 8 hour charter service, supply top of the line equipment to use; water; ice; sunscreen; rain gear if needed and you’ll fishing from a 21.5 ft fully rigged, newer bass boat that accommodate 3 guest. I also offer deep hotel discounts at the newest, best hotel in Okeechobee. I can recommend great places to eat and other attractions to enjoy while staying in Okeechobee. If you have questions, no problem, just give me a call at (863)228-7263 and we can discuss your trip or you can check out my website www.southfloridabassfishing.com where you’ll find up-to-date customers with their catches; past fishing reports; toll free number to purchase a fishing license; what to bring; what I provide for my customers and etc. My Sponsors include: Toho Marine; Mercury; BnM Poles; Bullet Weights; Gill; G-Loomis; Lews; Navionics; Mid-South Tackle; Gene Larew; Pradco Brands.
