Lake Okeechobee is the second largest freshwater lake in the country. It is arguably
the best bass fishing lake as well. The bass thrive in this lake with all of the forage and
cover for them. All types of grass are spread throughout this lake, which give the bass
plenty of places to hide and rest. The most popular way to fish this lake is with shiners
and by flipping jigs or soft plastics around the cover. If you are coming to Florida to
catch a 10 pound bass, Lake Okeechobee is one of your best bets. There are
numerous bass over 10 pounds as well as tons of bass in the 2 to 5 pound range. If
you are going for a trophy bass, try the biggest shiners you can buy. Big bass love
shiners on Lake Okeechobee.
