LAKE SEMINOLE IS DOWN 1 FOOT, SLIGHT STAIN & LOW 80’S MATT BATY

Bass fishing has been a little slow but is now picking up. The Flint River is slam full of grass this year. The grass lines are already topped out all over the lake and the frogging and flipping bite is turning on. Look for main lake grass lines that have hydrilla and some type of bait present, whether it is bream or shad. Always have 2 types of frogs rigged up, one for swimming over the holes in the grass, and one for fishing over the thick stuff. For a swimming frog, opt for a 3.5" Big Bite Baits Top Toad in Pearl or either a buzzing warmouth. Both of these can be rigged on a 5/0 Gamakatsu Superline hook and 60 lb. Sunline FX2 Braid. Also a Spro Bronzeye Popper in Outback is good for fishing over the thick stuff and slowing down in the holes. For flipping look for the Hydrilla mats that are topped out closest to deeper water. Use a 1 1/4 ounce Fish Catchin Fool Tungsten weight, a FCF bobber stopper, a 5/0 Gamakatsu heavy cover flipping hook, and a new 5" Big Bite baits Fighting Frog in Hematoma. Heavy braid is a must for this technique, same as frogging. If frogging and flippin is not your deal, then use your Lowrance electronics and look for humps on the main lake where the Hydrilla has not yet topped out. You can still fish crank bait or a Chatterbaits over these areas. A shallow running crank bait works well on a 7' Medium Action Rod such as a Duckett Terex and a long casting reel such as a Lew’s Tournament Pro in 6:4:1 gear ratio. The same set up works great for Chatterbaits also. The fish on these humps could either be on the points or on top so sometimes you have to switch techniques to locate the fish on that particular day.
