Lake Seminole Fishing Report – September 2010

Seminole: Level: 0.9 feet below full pool. Temp: 86 degrees. Clarity: Clear.

Bass: Slow. Matt Baty reports, “The bite has gotten tough over the past few weeks. However, there still can be some pretty good catches early in the morning on buzzbaits and topwater. The grassbeds up from Jack’s around Stone’s Landing are good for topwater. Use a buzzbait or a Spro Dawg 100 in old glory on braided line to entice strikes on the edges of the grassbeds. After the sun comes up, the bite has gotten extremely tough. However, you still have a couple of options. One option is to flip the deeper hydrilla lines in Spring Creek. The Corps of Engineers has sprayed most of the grass in Spring Creek, but there is still grass toward the lower end. When flipping, use a 1-oz. tungsten weight and a Gamakatsu straight-shank hook. The best flipping bait to use for this technique is a 4-inch Big Bite Baits Fighting Frog in prime rib. If flipping is not for you, you can head over the Hooch and fish the pads with a Spro Bronzeye 65 Frog in natural green.”
