Warmer Weather Fishing
This archived Lake Okeechobee report follows Ron Powers and Rick on an East Wall trip with Capt. Mark Rose.
The group fished the East Wall with a mix of live shiners and artificial lures. Live shiners were the most productive presentation during this historical outing, and the group caught more than 50 largemouth bass.
The best fish weighed about 4 pounds.
Water temperature was reported near 74 degrees. Flukes, Senkos, and speed worms were part of the artificial-lure mix, but anglers should not assume one temperature automatically makes those baits or the overall bite improve.
The durable lesson is that warming conditions can change fish activity, but wind, water level, vegetation, water clarity, and fish position still determine how the East Wall fishes on a given day.
For current East Wall context, use the consolidated East Wall Lake Okeechobee report. For current captain information, use the Capt. Mark Rose profile.
