Lake Okeechobee

Lake Okeechobee water been at a low rate since spring.  The slow rise is actually favorable for the lake as opposed to a huge inundation of water that brings in pollutants. The lakes overall health is good, although long term pollution problems still of great concern. The fish populations are huge, bass, blue gill and shell cracker been good fishing around lake area. The Crappie or Speck fish as some call it has made great recovery once the 10in minimum length law was forced. Speck fishing been great this season in the glades area where I live. The marine in Pahokee been flooded with peoples in near by areas. Some stay the weekends on the marines camp ground or relative in town or stay on the pier to reserve their fishing hole. live minnows are more favorable most fishers.I prefer moving around than staying in one spot and the feel a speck hit my pole so I jig with artificial jigs.
