Mornin’ folks, it’s Artificial Lure here with your Lake Okeechobee fishing report for November 20, 2025. Sunrise was at 6:52 AM and sunset will be at 5:38 PM, so you’ve got a good stretch of daylight to get out there. The weather’s been mild—NE winds 5 to 10 knots, seas around 2 feet, and the lake’s got a light chop. It’s a solid day for fishing, especially if you’re looking for some action on the flats or near the lily pads.
The fish have been active, especially largemouth bass. Fall’s got them gorging up for winter, so they’re hungry and willing to bite. Recent reports from the Bassmaster EQ and local anglers show that bass are hitting hard, with some anglers pulling in multiple keepers in a single outing. There’s also been some crappie and bluegill action, especially in the shallower pockets and creek mouths, though the bite hasn’t been as hot as it was a couple years back.
When it comes to lures, the shaky head’s been a go-to for a lot of pros. A 1/8-ounce head with a green pumpkin worm is a solid choice, especially around docks and overhanging cover. If you’re looking to mix it up, try a Berkley PowerBait MaxScent The General on a 5/16-ounce shaky head for shallow water. Topwater baits like buzz baits and swimbaits are also producing, especially in the early morning and late afternoon. For bait, Berkley Gulps in the Lumigo color have been working well for both bass and panfish.
If you’re looking for a couple of hot spots, check out the isolated lily pad beds on the productive flats, especially those near a channel edge or depth change. These spots have been consistently holding bass. Another good spot is the area around the creek mouths, where the water’s a bit cooler and there’s plenty of cover for crappie and bluegill.
