LAKE SEMINOLE IS 3.01 FEET OVER FULL, MUDDY & 81 DEGREES

This bass fishing report is by Matt Baty.

Bass fishing is good. With plenty of current on the lake and rivers, the bite is pretty good. Look for points and cuts on main lake grass beds and fish the current breaks in these areas. The fish will be stacked up in these places. Top water works well early in the morning or during the day when clouds are present. Fish a big top water plug that makes a lot of noise but stays in one place for a while such as a Stanford turbo shad. Any color with a chartreuse or yellow belly will be good in the muddy water. Another good option in these areas is a spinnerbait or a shallow running crank bait such as a Spro fat John in black/chartreuse. Flipping 1 ounce jigs or 1 ounce FCF Mat Missiles with big bite baits fighting frogs is also working in 4 to 7 foot grass beds with current. Use at least 60 pound test Sunline braid with this technique so that you won't have any trouble getting the big boys out.
