Another weekend and yet another weather front is to play a dominate roll in this weekend’s fishing. When venturing out this weekend you’ll need to have a Plan A, B, and C prepared for the changing conditions. High winds and some rainy periods may cause you to shift gears a few times this weekend.

FISHING REPORT OVERVIEW Surf’s up dude! As writing this week’s Lake Okeechobee Fishing Report, I’m back at the Atlantic Coast … Okeechobee EditionNov 26th, 2015
The weather for this weekend will be cool and unstable but the fishing should be hot. I don’t know about you but I always love fishing in sloppy weather so long as the lightning is held in check. The long range forecasts indicate that this will be the end of our unseasonably warm temperatures and a return to seasonable temperatures which means cooler nights and falling water temperatures which will ignite the fishing bite. All reporting stations can’t wait for next week’s cooler temperatures. Okeechobee EditionNov 19th, 2015
In talking to the area’s bait & tackle shops, the last few weeks of unseasonably warm temperatures has really slowed down the bass bite. Baitfish that where once schooling have scattered and so have the bass. Best bets are to revert back to summertime fishing patterns and be out there early before the sun rises or late in the afternoon for that early sundown. Frogs and buzzbaits are making a comeback in this hot weather. Okeechobee EditionNov 11th, 2015
The word for this weekend around Lake Okeechobee and south-central Florida is HOT. Consecutive days of near record heat has slowed the pre-spawn feeding of the bass and forced them to move back into a summertime pattern. This means the bite is real early in the morning with wild shiners being the best bait and artificial lures falling off the pace. Fortunately there appears to be some relief on the way and conditions should return to a more typical fall pattern in the coming weeks. Okeechobee EditionNov 5th, 2015
This weekend is shaping up to be a mixed bag of weather but a good weekend for fishing. A weak cool front is expected to be pushing through on Saturday and may stall out around Lake Okeechobee. This will make conditions iffy for Saturday and Sunday. Okeechobee EditionOct 7th, 2015
