When Lake Okeechobee fishing there are two primary ways to fish, with artificial lures or wild shiners. Bass fishing on the “Big O” with wild shiners is the preferred bait for trophy bass hunters, because it happens to be the natural food that they feed on daily. Wild shiner fishing became very popular many years ago for fishing Okeechobee, it has become the increasingly popular choice because once you’ve experienced this form of fishing you’ll quickly recognized that it’s much more than just sitting and watching bobbers.
