(Pomoxis annularis / nigromaculatus)
Fishing the second-biggest natural lake in the US is a joy to behold. At one with nature on the open water, you’ll search for delicious Crappie to fill the freezer. Known in Florida as “Speckled Perch,” these much-loved Panfish are a staple of every fisherman’s diet. Come Lake Okeechobee Crappie fishing and fill the boat with plenty of “Specks” like a true local.
What to Expect
The underrated Crappie gets far too little attention for its incredible value in taste and in game quality. Often overlooked in favor of Bass, the Crappie’s sheer number in this lake provides for a thrilling adventure.
Spend a half day, 3/4 of a day, or a full day with a Crappie fishing guide in Lake Okeechobee and see for yourself. Beginners are sure to land their first catch against this light creature, while avid anglers will get more bang for their buck than with any other fish.
You’ll fish from a purpose-built bass boat. Suitable to navigate the shallow waters of the lake, she’ll also speed off to the sweet spots in no time. Troll to entice the bite of the Crappies and Bass, or jig around any structures with live bait or minnows for the best results.
