Lake Okeechobee Water Level Report and Fishing Forecast for February 24, 2025

Ahoy there, anglers! Captain Joe here, back with your Lake Okeechobee fishing report. Let's dive into the current conditions and see what's biting!

Lake Okeechobee Water Level: Steady as She Goes

As of February 24, 2025, Lake Okeechobee's water level sits at a respectable 13.73 feet NGVD. Now, that's a tad lower than this time last year when we were lookin' at 16.30 feet, and even a bit shy of the 15.65 feet we saw two years back. But don't you fret, we've got plenty of water for our finned friends to roam!

Weather Forecast: Rain, Rain, Go Away... Come Again Another Day!

Hold onto your hats, folks, 'cause we've got some rain comin' our way! The forecast calls for heavy rain on February 24th and 25th, with things easing up to moderate rain on the 26th and light rain on the 27th. But fear not, the sun's peekin' back out on the 28th, so we'll be back to our sunny selves in no time! Just remember, safety first! Always check the forecast before headin' out on the lake, and be prepared for anything Mother Nature throws our way.

Lake Okeechobee Fishing Forecast: Get Ready for Some Action!

Now, let's talk fishin'! With the water level where it's at and the rain we're expectin', the bass should be movin' into those shallows lookin' for a bite.  Spinnerbaits, crankbaits, and swim jigs will be your best bet for enticing these lunkers. And don't forget about our speckled perch (crappie) friends! They'll be hangin' out near brush piles and submerged vegetation, just waitin' for a tasty minnow or jig to come their way.

So there you have it, folks! The Lake O report in a nutshell. Remember to stay safe, have fun, and as always, tight lines!
