Hi! I winter in the town of Okeechobee and the lake fishing for crappies is not to good. The lake is way down. Just can not get out there to fish. If you had a air boat you could. Had to fish the river and some canels.
Here is a site to check the lake level.

Did get some real nice crappies in the river. The guys going out at night and fishing with lights did harvest a lot of fish on the river. To me that is not fishing.
