Lake Seminole Fishing Report August 2013

Seminole: Level: 3.5 feet below full pool. Temp: Mid to upper 80s. Clarity: Stained.

Bass: Good. Look for a topwater bite first thing in the morning before the sun hits the water. A Zara Spook or Spro Dawg 100 walking bait fished over the tops of grass points near the main channel and deep water are your best early morning bet. Once the sun gets up, swim a worm slowly through the grass on the same main-lake grass points. Try a 6-inch Big Bite Baits Kriet Tail worm in tilapia color on a 1/4-oz. Fish Catchin Fool tungsten weight, FCF Bobber Stopper and a 4/0 Gamakatsu offset worm hook. Swim the worm through the grass instead of shaking or hopping it. There is also a ledge bite going on the Chattahoochee arm. Find humps, points, bends and submerged timber on ledges in the main lake. Use a crankbait like a Spro Little John DD to locate schools of fish, and then you can switch to a Carolina rig or Texas rig to catch them.”
