LAKE SEMINOLE IS DOWN .6 INCHES, STAINED & 82 DEGREES

Bass fishing is fair to good but watch the weather. Start the mornings off with the Chug Bugs and Sammy shad pattern baits. Keep the top water baits small the rest of this month. The bass are most active during the morning period. Look for the larger fish to bite early in the mornings with these two top water baits and increase the speed of the retrieve on any missed bites or short strikes. Continue fishing the rocky points again this week. These are still good fishing places to locate any feeding bass with crank baits and top water baits. Fate Free Shad crank baits and Shad Raps both jointed and RS models along with Thunder Sticks and DT6's are fair. Change baits frequently changing from shad to gold lures during the mid morning period. Look on the grass edges, stumps, trees and brush piles with plastics and jigs. More pop up showers can happen anytime during the day. Showers and thunderstorms are common, especially during the late afternoon hours. Some of these storms are severe. This is when the Lowrance Sirius Weather module on the HDS machines can give you an early storm and lightning warming.
