LAKE SEMINOLE IS 1.09 FEET ABOVE FULL, MUDDY & 67 DEGREES

Bass fishing is fair. The lake is fast and muddy. The fish are hard to catch right now, but the best way to do so is to fish super shallow water in back water areas with a frog or a swim bait. There has also been some reports of a shad spawn going on in these same areas. A good choice for a swim bait is a 5" Big Bite Baits Cane Thumper in Pearl. Rig this bait on a 5/0 Gamakatsu Superline Hook with a toothpick through the head to hold on the bait, and Sunline FC Sniper 20 pound test fluorocarbon line. If you need a little more weight added to it, put a 1/16 ounce Fish Catchin Fool Tungsten weight on the front with a Fish Catchin Fool Bobber Stopper. The best frog right now is a Spro Bronzeye Shad in Nasty Shad. This bait has tremendous walk the dog action and really does imitate a shad. Fish this frog on a fast speed reel such as a Lews Super Duty in 7:1 and at 60 lb. Sunline FX2 Braid. As the weather continues to warm and the water continues to clear, look for the bass to start moving out on river ledges and then use your Lowrance Structure Scan to locate schools of fish to catch cranking.
