Sunday Lake O Bass Bite 11/2/25 - Weedless Frogs, Fluke Slam Big Os

Artificial Lure here with your Sunday Lake Okeechobee fishing report, November 2nd, 2025. Sunrise hit at 7:27 this morning, with sunset coming up at 6:40 this evening, giving us plenty of daylight to enjoy the fall bite. Weather’s been on the mild side after a short cool snap last week—a comfortable morning in the low 60s, heading toward a high near 78. Light winds out of the northeast should keep the lake surface manageable, and with yesterday’s rains already soaked in, clarity is fair-to-good across much of the lake. Tides aren’t a big factor here, but water levels are sitting stable thanks to recent water releases from the Corps, as Fox 4 News reported. The bass bite has benefited from consistent levels and steady water temps in the upper 60s. Low solunar activity means midday lulls, but peak feeding has lined up nicely with both sunrise and the late afternoon golden hour. Recent catches have been classic for this time of year—plenty of healthy largemouth bass, most running in the 2- to 4-pound range. A few locals at the Roland Martin Marina shared stories of some 6 and even 7 pounders boated on the outside grass lines near Monkey Box and Tin House Cove, both early and at dusk. Shiners are always a ticket for a big bite, but right now, anglers are scoring with artificials too. Top lures lately are weedless frogs, especially in areas with matted hydrilla and Kissimmee grass. Major League Fishing pros and guides out here say the Strike King Sexy Frog and Booyah Pad Crasher have both produced, particularly with a steady, patient retrieve. When the frog bite slows, switching to a weightless Zoom Super Fluke, in watermelon red or junebug, has picked up fish on the edges. Spinnerbaits in white/chartreuse and black-blue jigs pitched deep into cover are putting solid fish in the boat as well. If you’re after crappie, minnows under a float are working, with good fish being caught drifting near the rim canal by Taylor Creek and also over by Harney Pond. Bluegill and shellcracker are still nipping worms and crickets along the north shore, especially around Indian Prairie. Two hot spots you’ll want to check out today: first, the Monkey Box area—start on the outside edges early, then move inside as the sun comes up. Second, Harney Pond Canal is a strong bet for both bass and panfish, especially if you can dodge the crowds and find a quiet pocket. Boat traffic has picked up with the weather turning so nice, but the fish haven’t seemed skittish—just remember to move gently and pick apart the cover. If you’re shore-bound, the pier at Okeechobee City Park has seen action, especially on shiners and Texas-rigged worms. That’s your Lake O report, folks. Tight lines to everyone getting out on the Big O today, and don’t forget: always check for changing conditions, stay safe, and respect our beautiful water.
