Details
United StatesLake Okeechobee is located in central southern Florida, North of the Everglades and south of Orlando. Lake Okeechobee links the Atlantic and Gulf sides of Florida via the Port Mayaca Lock on the east side of the lake and the Moore Haven Lock on the lake's western side.Lake Okeechobee is approximately 37 miles long by 30 miles wide. over 700 square miles.
Lake Okeechobee is the second largest freshwater lake in the United States. The 730 square mile lake is located in south central Florida. It is shallow (average depth 9 feet or 2.7 meters) and provides an ideal habitat for bass.
The Big O is the place to go if you want to catch big bass. It is a fishermans paradise. You can expect to tangle with 7-10 pound bass. The lake record is 15 pounds 5 ounces. While fishing is very good year-round it is particularly spectacular during spawning season.
Lake Okeechobee has a number of famous fishing areas including the Monkey Box, Moonshine Bay, Fisheating Creek, Hay Fields, and the Cow Pasture.
We strongly promote a "catch and release" policy for all bass caught in Lake Okeechobee.
Mainly bulrush, eelgrass, and knotgrass.
Largemouth bass fishing should be best on the outside edges of the shoreline vegetation (mainly bulrush, eelgrass, and knotgrass).
Try spoons and spinner baits in the grass flats, and plastic worms and flipping jigs in the heaver cover. Florida wild shiners are the preferred bait for trophy bass and it is a natural food that they feed on daily here.
