Lake Okeechobee Fishing Report for October 31, 2024 Lake Okeechobee Water Level Update - It's Still High!
Ahoy, anglers! Captain Joe here with your Lake Okeechobee fishing report for October 31, 2024. Let's dive into the numbers, because the lake is still sittin' pretty high.
**Lake Okeechobee's water level is currently at 16.10 feet NGVD.** That's a whole lot higher than last year on this date when she was at 16.21 feet. Two years ago, it was even lower at 15.83 feet. The lake likes to keep us on our toes, that's for sure!
**What does this mean for your fishing trip?** Well, the high water has scattered the fish, making them a bit harder to find. But don't you worry, a little challenge never hurt anyone. We just gotta use our noggins and adjust our strategies.

With the water being high and a chance of rain throughout the week, we're gonna have to work a little harder for our catches. Focus on finding those clean water areas and target the edges of the grass lines. The bass are gonna be lookin' for a little bit of comfort and cover.
**Tight lines, everyone!**
