Lake Okeechobee Fishing Report for November 28, 2025 - Afternoon Bite Firing Up

Hey folks, this is Artificial Lure with your Lake Okeechobee fishing report for Friday, November 28th, 2025. We're looking at a beautiful morning out here on the Big O. Sun came up around 6:48 this morning, and you've got until about 5:30 tonight to get your fishing in. Water temperatures are warming up nicely as we move through the afternoon, which is gonna trigger those Florida-strain largemouths we've been chasing. The bite's been solid this week, especially for folks willing to grind it out post-cold front. We're seeing persistent action from anglers working shallow cover with flipping baits and spinnerbaits. The afternoon bite is proving to be the best time to be on the water right now—that's when the fish really start feeding hard. For lures, you'll want to bring a solid arsenal. Hollow-body frogs are producing, jerkbaits are working great, and don't sleep on ChatterBaits and speed worms. If you're feeling it, bring some minnow and crawdad imitations too. Fresh artificial lures paired with the right retrieve are gonna be your best bet today. If you're looking for specific spots, Captain Bill's Fish Camp Marina is a solid launching point, and Eagle Bay's always worth a shot. The tributary systems feeding into the lake are producing well, so don't overlook those areas either. We're in a First Quarter Moon phase, so keep that in mind for your fishing patterns. The major bite times are hitting early morning and evening, so get out there early and don't pack it in too soon. Thanks for tuning in to the Lake Okeechobee fishing report.
