Striped Bass
While Clewiston, Florida, is renowned for its largemouth bass fishing on Lake Okeechobee, it also offers an opportunity to target sunshine bass, a hybrid striped bass. These fish are stocked in the lake and provide exciting angling action. The cooler months, from late fall through early spring, are generally the best time to target sunshine bass, as they are more active in cooler water. Focus your efforts around areas with submerged vegetation, canals, and near points where the wind is blowing in. Live shiners are a popular bait choice, but artificial lures like swimbaits and crankbaits can also be effective. Keep in mind that sunshine bass are typically smaller than their striped bass cousins, but they are still strong fighters. Clewiston offers numerous marinas and boat ramps, providing easy access to the lake's prime fishing spots.
