Lake Tobesofkee Fishing Report July 2014

Tobesofkee: Level: Full pool. Temp: 82-84 degrees. Clarity: Clear.

Bass: Good. Tournament pro Clayton Batts reports, “The fish that are deep are in schools on main-lake humps and points in 12 to 18 feet of water. These fish can be caught on a variety of baits once they are located on your Lowrance. Start out throwing a Spro Little John DD in nasty shad or citrus shad. Once the fish slow down, you can switch to a Secret Lures football jig in candy craw with a Big Bite Baits swimming craw in summer craw, or try a green pumpkin Carolina-rigged Big Bite Baits finesse worm. Another good pattern working right now during daylight and nighttime is fishing main-lake docks with a green-pumpkin or black-with-blue-flake finesse worm. During the day most of the fish will be back under the docks or in any brush that people have put around them. At night fish will still be in the brush, and the ones that were up under the docks will move out to the outer posts to feed. There is also a decent topwater bite going on right now early in the morning and late in the evening. Look for this bite on seawalls and grass that is close to deep water.”
