LAKE SEMINOLE IS DOWN ONE FOOT, STAINED & 50 DEGREES

Bass fishing is tremendous. It has been taking phenomenal bags to win most tournaments. The record for a 5 bass limit in a bass tournament was just broken over the weekend with a five bass limit at 38.88 pounds being weighed in during a Media Bass tournament. The fish are in full pre spawn mode now and can be caught very easily on lipless crank baits. Use your Lowrance electronics and mapping to look for areas such as ditches and depressions on main lake flats and throw a Spro Aruku Shad 85 in Mudbug Reg. Use Sunline FX2 Braid in 50 lb. and a high speed Lews Tournament Speed Spool in 7:1 gear ratio. The heavy 3/4 ounce works best because the grass has died back a lot from all the mud and cold weather. This technique is the best running. Another way to catch some really nice fish is to look for dead hyacinths that have been blown in around weed clumps and islands. Use a 1 1/4 ounce Fish Catchin Fool Tungsten Weight, a 5/0 Gamakatsu Heavy Cover Flippin Hook, a 4" Big Bite Baits Yo Mamma in Hematoma, and heavy braid. Big females will stage up underneath the hyacinths when the sun is out getting ready for the spawn.
