あらすじ・解説
As of November 9, 2024, Lake Okeechobee is buzzing with activity, making it an exciting time to be out on the water. The lake's water level is currently rising, which is beneficial for navigation and fish habitat.
Weather conditions are mild, with temperatures in the mid-70s to low 80s, perfect for a day of fishing. Sunrise was at around 6:45 AM, and sunset is expected at about 5:30 PM, giving you ample time to catch both the morning and evening bites.
Fish activity has been robust, particularly for largemouth bass. The bass bite has been "on fire" lately, with many anglers reporting multiple catches throughout the day. Areas such as the Shoal, North shore, Dyess Ditch, and Tin House have been the most active spots. As the weather cools down, these areas will expand, allowing more boaters to catch bass.
For those targeting bass, lures like popping frogs, swim baits, swim jigs, and top water lures worked slowly and methodically around cover have been highly effective. Flipping and pitching techniques with worms and rattle traps are also producing good results.
Crappie fishing is a bit more challenging due to the warm water temperatures, but slow trolling or minimal wind drift in deeper water, especially around ledges and drop-offs, can yield some catches. Road Runners in Chartreuse/Black, White, and Electric Chicken colors are recommended.
Other hot spots include areas around Uncle Joe’s, Blue Hole, Turners Cove, East Wall, Kramer Island, and Houseboat Cut on the south end. On the north end, Monkey Box/Dupree Bar, Dyess Ditch/point of Horse, and areas around Indian Prairie and Tin House are worth exploring.
Panfish action has also been good, especially in moving water at John Stretch Park in South Bay and the Rim Canal near the Moore Haven Lock, where worms, crickets, and minnows are effective for catching mixed bags of bream and crappie.
Remember to respect other boaters and use courtesy while navigating the lake. With the right lures and a bit of patience, you're set for a productive and enjoyable day on Lake Okeechobee.
