Lake Okeechobee fishing report, June 2025 submitted by Capt. Angie, Okeechobee, Fl

Lake Okeechobee’s water level continues to remain around the 11.00 ft mark. The weather has been a mixture of hot temps; afternoon and some windier days. Most of the fishing these past 3 months or so have been in the Kissimmee River and the Canals for bass, bluegill and the crappie bite around bridge pilings. The month of June moving forward into the Summer months is a great time to fish deep water for bass and for a shallow fun bite is the pan fish bite and offers lots of non-stop action to keep the kiddo’s engaged !! For bass fishing, try throwing big worms; deep diving crank baits; topwater and small/mid-size swim baits worked along the river/canal edges, worms around drop-offs and ledges. These lures have been producing some big bass for my guide clients. Howard, from IL had the best day of his life with two “trophy catch” entries on the same day, twenty minutes apart !! Patience and fishing slowly/methodically has paid off big time !! Lure colors for bass are: Junebug; redshad; white; watermelon/red; tilapia and bream-colored crank baits. If you know the lake well and want to try fishing on the lake areas are: Tin house; Indian Praire; point of Horse Island; some areas on the shoal for both bass and bream. If you’re bream fishing, grass shrimp, crickets and red worms will all work and will catch fish. I use a 7 ft ultra-light spinning rod/reel, 4 lb test mono, small round weight tagged on the line about 8 inches above the hook or you can choose to use a weighted bobber. Now is the time to book your bream and/or bass trip. I give VET discounts as well as one-person trip discounts. Deep hotel discounts are available, I provide all tackle, rain gear if needed, water, sunscreen and ice. Group trips and multi-days can be accommodated. First daylight until about noon has been best and do offer split day trips as well.
