What anglers said about fishing in Lake Okeechobee

According to Captain Wood we couldnโ€™t go far into the lake due to controlled water levels. So where you can go may be limited if they are letting water out like this season.

Dress for Florida's HOT weather. Early morning was the best time to go... not too hot, comfy. Remember your sunglasses and hat and wear light colored clothing.

Learn the techniques more than focusing on all the flashy bait. Learn and know the types of poles that are best for fishing largemouth bass. Always come with a beginner's mindset and you will leave happy.

Itโ€™s hot, but thereโ€™s a good breeze and we still caught a good amount of fish.

I would say that Okeechobee was an interesting place to fish because not only do you catch fish but you see other animals as well. We saw about twenty gators, one pig, and bunch of birds. So it was great for nature goers!

We had great fishing, but because of the wind we didnโ€™t fish out of Clewiston. We fished out of the Everglades.

Take your time, listen to the captain, get live bait, toss lures into the vegetation, dark colors worked better on our day. Do strong hook-sets.

Wait until February when the water gets warmer and be sure there are no big fishing events the week before. Clients should be advised of these things BEFORE they book.

Make sure changing weather patterns do not mess up the bite. Pay close attention to fluctuations in temp and look for a steady cold temp.

Water is fairly shallow so it does not get rough. Few weeds and obstructions. Easy fishing.
