Lake Okeechobee - Best Time for Big Bass
Planning a trip to go fish Lake Okeechobee for the first time and most of what I have seen online says Nov-Mar with February typically being the best month. I understand that depends greatly on weather and how it effects the spawn, but if you were looking to catch big fish over numbers, what timing would you recommend for a week long trip? Thanks!
Sorry for the late response on this one, Matt. I love Okeechobee! I would choose Feb or March. So much of Florida fishing is based on weather conditions. If you get a cold front, the fishing will be tough. So late Feb and March, the weather is warmer and less likely to get crushed by a cold front. Best of luck.
You should also look into a place called Headwaters Lake which is nest to the Stick Marsh. This is really putting out some serious catches as it recently opened. Good luck and keep us posted.
