LAKE SEMINOLE IS DOWN .80 FEET, CLEAR & MID TO MID 60’S

Bass fishing is good. The bass where biting real good in shallow water, but the cooler temps and all the pressure from the tournaments have slowed them down a little. The bass are still feeding on small shad, however, over the last few trips we have noticed some larger shad at 3 to 4 inches. You truly need to match the hatch to increase your odds of catching bass. Most of the time, all the pressure pushes the fish way up in the grass, but this year it has done the total opposite. The fish have pushed out to the outermost edges of the grass where the grass is submerged underneath the water. Use your Lowrance Down Scan Units to find the edges of the grass. A good way to catch them is to throw a jerkbait like the Spro McStick 115 in clear chartreuse in clear water, a Spro Aruku Shad 75 in Old Glory color in dirty water and a 1/2 ounce white Chatter bait in stained water. Big Bite Baits has a new Cane Thumper in a 4" that works PERFECT Chatter baits and jigs. Use the Reel Shad color Cane Thumper on the back of the chatter bait. For best action on the jerkbait, use 12 pound test Sunline FC Reaction line on a Lew's Tournament Pro Speed Spool Reel which is an awesome casting reel for light weight baits. There has been some flippin fish being caught on grass lines, but you have to just cover lots of water to find them. Use a 1 1/4 ounce Fish Catchin Fool weight, FCF bobber stopper, a 4/0 Gamakatsu heavy cover Flippin Hook, and a 4" Big Bite Baits Fighting Frog in Hematoma.
