Lake Seminole Fishing Report – December 2009

Seminole: Level: 0.6 feet below full pool. Temp: 63 degrees. Clarity: Muddy except for Spring Creek, which is clear.

Bass: Good. Matt Baty reports, “There are two productive patterns working at this time. Fish a Spro Aruku Shad 75 in old glory or purple rain colors on main-lake flats with ditches nearby. The best flats are the ones closest to deep water such as the Oil Well Flats in between the Flint and Spring Creek. Fish the Aruku Shad over the top of the hydrilla, and rip the bait free when it snags the cover. The other pattern that works extremely well with both numbers and quality is drop-shotting. Use the drop shot in the old creek channel bends in Spring Creek. The best places are in between Big Jim’s and Sealy’s. Use a good sensitive spinning rod such as a Falcon 6-foot, 6-inch Buccoo and 8-lb. flourocarbon line. Use a Gamakatsu Finesse Wide Gap hook in 1/0 with a 1/4-oz. drop-shot weight. Nose hook a watermelon-seed Big Bite Baits 6-inch finesse worm in the BioBait formula. When fish grab this bait, they do not let go!”
