Lake Okeechobee fishing pier
— a long pier into bass country.
Not only on a wall.
Lake Okeechobee fishing pier, on ceramic.
Each tile is finished by hand in our Knoxville studio. Artwork is slowly infused into the ceramic surface under high heat and pressure, and rests beneath a thin glossy finish. The colour lives in the surface, not on top of it.
Pick any four 4-inch tiles — National Parks you've been to, a Smokies set, the four seasons of one place. $ for a set of , cork-backed, ready to live on the table.
Each tile ships in a kraft box, tied with cream ribbon, with a handwritten note from the studio if you'd like to add one.
Three or five different vistas, hung together — a chapter of places you've been, or want to go.
“Lake Okeechobee is the inland sea of South Florida, over 730 square miles of shallow, dark water ringed by the Herbert Hoover Dike. The fishing piers at Pahokee, Clewiston, and Okee-Tantie reach out from cane-country towns and put anglers over largemouth bass and speckled perch country. Sunrise comes up over open water, with airboats and crappie skiffs already moving in the shallows.
The place, in three passes.
Lake Okeechobee is the largest freshwater lake entirely within Florida and the second-largest natural freshwater lake wholly within the contiguous United States, covering roughly 730 square miles. It sits at the southern end of the Kissimmee-Okeechobee-Everglades watershed, ringed by the 143-mile Herbert Hoover Dike. Fishing piers and public access points are scattered around the rim at Pahokee, Clewiston, Okee-Tantie near Okeechobee City, and Port Mayaca. The lake straddles five counties: Okeechobee, Glades, Hendry, Palm Beach, and Martin.
The lake averages just nine feet deep, with a maximum near twelve, which makes it one of the largest truly shallow lakes in North America. Wind moves the water column easily, so conditions change fast and the surface can flatten or chop within an hour. Largemouth bass and black crappie, known locally as specks, are the headline species, and the spawning grounds along the western shoreline draw tournament anglers from across the country every winter and early spring.
The most public piers sit at Pahokee Marina on the southeast shore, the city pier at Clewiston on the south, and Okee-Tantie Recreation Area on the north near Okeechobee City. The Lake Okeechobee Scenic Trail runs the full 110-mile perimeter atop the Hoover Dike, open to walkers and cyclists. A Florida freshwater fishing license is required for anyone sixteen or older; day, week, and annual options are sold through the Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission.
