Lake Okeechobee is at 16.10 feet today, up slightly from yesterday and down slightly from this time last year. Historically, the lake is over a foot higher than the period of record average for this date. The lake is predicted to rise over the next week as we are in the heart of the wet season. The weather forecast for today is for few clouds with light winds. The slightly elevated water levels and stable weather should make for good fishing today. The bass bite has been good in the early mornings and should continue to be strong. The speckled perch bite has also been good and should continue with the stable weather.
