Lake Okeechobee woke up to **mild fall conditions** this morning: sunrise at 7:13, sunset at 7:05, and a forecast calling for light winds, highs near 81°F, and mostly sunny skies.

While tides matter more in the coastal canals, the solunar activity is *average* today according to Tides4Fishing, which means fish should be chewing but not going crazy.

Bass anglers have been keeping busy all week. Just last weekend, the Toyota Series produced some s...
