Good morning anglers, Artificial Lure here with your Lake Okeechobee fishing report for Tuesday, October 28, 2025. The sun kissed the water this morning with sunrise just before 7 AM, and we'll have light until about 6:30 tonight, giving us plenty of time to get on the water.

The bass bite continues to stay red hot on the Big O this autumn. Anglers have been pulling in some impressive catches with a mix of techniques proving productive. The cooler mornings are triggering that classic fall feeding pattern we all love to see.

For those targeting largemouth, artificial lures are absolutely crushing it right now. Buzzbaits are producing some explosive topwater action, especially during those twilight hours at dawn and dusk. If you want to mix it up, swimbaits and soft plastics worked around grass lines are getting solid bites throughout the day. Drop-shotting in deeper pockets around structure is also producing consistent results.

Live bait enthusiasts should load up on shiners - they're always a reliable choice on Okeechobee, particularly when fished around the grass beds and lily pad edges. The fish are holding in their typical autumn patterns, relating to vegetation and moving into slightly deeper water during midday.

But it's not just about the bass out here. The crappie fishing has been exceptional, with anglers jigging up some nice slabs. Catfish are also chewing, providing great action for anyone wanting to change things up.

For hot spots, Captain Bills Fish Camp Marina area continues to produce consistent action. The creek mouths and sloughs along the north end, including Popash Slough and Nubbin Slough, are holding good numbers of fish. Eagle Bay has been another productive zone worth checking out.

Weather-wise, we're looking at comfortable conditions with temperatures that make for pleasant fishing. The water clarity varies depending on where you're fishing, so be prepared to adjust your presentations accordingly. In cleaner water, natural colors are working well, while in stained water, don't be afraid to upsize and add some flash or vibration.

The key right now is covering water until you locate active fish, then slowing down and working those areas thoroughly. The fish are feeding, you just need to find them.
