South Bay Fishing Trip
This archived South Bay Lake Okeechobee report follows repeat clients Kathleen and John on a six-hour trip from the south end of the lake with Capt. Mark Shepard.
The group launched from South Bay and fished a mix of live bait and artificial lures. During this historical outing, wild shiners produced most of the bass, while stick baits added a few more fish later in the trip.
Conditions had improved after several cloudy days, but the bite was still slower than expected. Kathleen and John caught several largemouth bass up to about 3 pounds and missed a few better fish.
The lasting value of this report is the location context: South Bay provides access to the southern end of Lake Okeechobee, where wind, vegetation, water clarity, and lake level can change productive areas.
For current trip planning, compare Lake Okeechobee fishing charters and guide availability rather than relying on an old trip result. See the Lake Okeechobee guide for broader information.
