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

Bass fishing is great. The weather is on fire and so is the bass fishing. The bass now have high metabolisms with the summer heat and are feeding heavily on bream and shad. The hydrilla is topping out all over the lake and the bass are using it to ambush bream and shad at or near the surface, so top water is a good technique to use. A buzzing frog reeled across the surface is a good way to draw explosive strikes from bass on Seminole right now. Having the right set up is important so here are some suggestions. Use a Big Bite Baits Buzzing Warmouth in Green Bluegill to imitate bream and pearl to imitate shad. Rig these baits on a 5/0 Gamakatsu Superline EWG Hook, a 1/16 Fish Catchin Fool Tungsten Weight, and a Fish Catchin Fool Bobber Stopper. Use 50 lb. Sunline FX2 Braid in the new Blue/Green Color, a Lews 8:3:1 LFS Series Speed Spool, and a 7'4" Duckett Terex heavy rod. This setup is just about perfect for fishing this technique and hauling the big bass out of the thick grass. This technique can work all day long under any conditions. Another presentation that works well is to fish a hollow body frog such as a Spro Bronzeye Popper. Use Albino to imitate shad and Natural Green to imitate bluegill. You can use the same rod/reel/line setup as the swimming frog. These two techniques catch quality fish and get really explosive strikes. If you are using this technique and having no success, you can always Texas rig the edge of grass lines that are close to the river channel and catch quantity. Expect this technique to work all the way through the dog days of summer.
