Lake Seminole Fishing Report – May 2009

Seminole: Level: 1.08 feet below full pool. Temp: 70 degrees. Clarity: Stained.

Bass: Good. Matt Baty reports, “Most of the fish on the lake have already spawned and are heading toward their deep-water postspawn areas. These postspawn fish can be caught on grass points on the rivers and grass flats on the lake. Spinnerbaits or shallow-running crankbaits are a good way to locate and catch fish in the flats. Fish on the grass points can be caught using a Carolina-rigged Big Bite Baits 6-inch Biobait Finesse worm in tilapia color. Rig it on a light-wire hook, along with a 1-oz. bullet lead with a long leader. My partner and I won a recent C&R tournament with over 22 pounds. These fish were caught flipping hyacinths and shallow grass on the main lake. We were using the new Big Bite Baits Fighting Frog designed by Elite Series pro Dean Rojas. This bait is absolutely the best flipping bait I have seen. Rig the 4-inch Big Bite Baits Fighting Frog on a 1-oz. tungsten sinker with a 4/0 Reaction Innovations BMF hook.”
