Artificial Lure here with your Lake Okeechobee fishing report for Tuesday, November 11th, 2025. The sun crested the horizon at 6:39 a.m. and we’re heading for a brisk, clear day—temps dipping into the low 40s overnight, with daytime highs bouncing into the lower-to-mid 60s according to Okeechobee County alerts and yesterday’s readings. Skies are mostly sunny, with a light north wind keeping things cool and manageable. Sunset tonight will be at 5:32 p.m., so you’ve got a nice, tight window for prime action before the evening chill sets in.

Okeechobee’s fishing scene is firing on all cylinders after that cold snap last night. Water temps have dropped, pushing the largemouth bass off the super-shallows and staging them up in deeper hydrilla lines, reed edges, and around that good vegetation mix. Spawner traffic is building, while well-fed slabs of crappie are stacking up for anyone ready to vertical jig. According to the latest from “Lake Okeechobee, Florida Fishing Report Today,” the bite’s steady but you’ve got to adjust to these seasonal dips—so bundle up and expect those bass to hit best mid-morning as the sun warms things up. Crappie have been smashing minnows off the Observation Shoal and Tin House.

This week’s tourney results are in, and the pros are hauling in solid numbers with old-school Okeechobee did-rights: stick worms, vibrating jigs, and swim jigs. Major League Fishing just released their top baits report: the NetBait Big Bopper in Okeechobee craw, Dirty Jigs Swim Jigs with Gambler Burner Craw trailers, and Yamamoto Senkos (junebug and watermelon candy) rigged wacky or Texas-style are all filling livewells. For those flipping that thick stuff, Gambler Big EZ swimbaits and Medlock Jigs with Zoom Big Salty trailers in black and blue are catching bigger bass. The ChatterBait Jack Hammer paired with a Zako trailer—green pumpkin or white—has been the game-changer when covering water.

Shiner fishing remains a local staple, especially if you want to lock onto a double-digit Okeechobee giant. But don’t overlook that Big Bite Baits BFE creature bait for punching mats—it’s got the glide and profile to slide into the thickest cover these bass love in cold snaps.

For best results:
- Hit the north shore between Indian Prairie and Horse Island—there’s a blend of reed clumps and clear water holding numbers and some real hawgs.
- Observation Shoal is still hot for crappie and bass both, especially along the outside grassline.
- If the wind picks up, South Bay and King’s Bar provide some shelter and a solid afternoon flurry.

Best windows today for largemouth are between 9:30 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. Cooler water means a slower presentation wins—soak those stick worms, let that jig marinate, and don’t be afraid to drag a wacky-rigged Senko near deeper edges. The morning topwater bite’s short, so switch to flipping and winding as soon as the surface cools off.

Reel in, stay warm, and good luck out there! Thanks for tuning in to your Lake Okeechobee report—make sure you hit subscribe so you never miss the bite.
