Lake Seminole Fishing Report September 2011

Seminole: Level: 1.2 feet below full pool. Temp: 86 degrees. Clarity: Stained.

Bass: Poor. Matt Baty reports, “The bass just simply are not biting on the lake right now. Your best bet is to fish early in the morning at daylight. Fish grass points near deep water on the main lake with a Spro Popper in albino white. Throw the frog up in the grass about 6 to 10 feet deep, and work it out to the edge of the mats, then slow it down. This pattern will hold up all day, but the bite is extremely slow. Another way to catch them right now is to fish deep ledges on the main lake that have deep grass on them. A deep-diving crankbait will help you find the grass and will occasionally catch fish, but the best way to catch them deep is on a Carolina-rigged 6-inch Big Bite Baits Kreit Tail worm in redbug. I like to use 20-lb. Sunline FC Sniper as the main line and 16-lb. Sunline Supernatural for the leader. Your leader needs to be at least 4 feet long. Rig the Kreit Tail worm on a 4/0 Offset Gamakatsu hook. Once again, this is a slow pattern but will usually put a few more keepers in the boat throughout the day.”
