The month of June has started off well with a mixture of bream and bass trips. If you’re fishing for bass with artificial lures, try swim baits; swim jigs; popping frogs; top water lures like Zara Spooks; Pop-R and a Devils Horse; big worms; Senkos; jigs and flipping/pitching creature- style baits. In deeper water like the Kissimmee River, crank baits have been working – try shad and crawdad color patterns. Colors that work well for bass: white; June bug; watermelon and watermelon red; summer craw colors like green pumpkin; red bug; browns and shad patterns.
If you’re fishing for bream whether its shell crackers or bluegill using red worms on ultra-light spinning gear tipped with a small bobber; split shot weight like a #4 and small hook fished around cover such as vegetation that runs along the river edge; near edges of Kissimmee grass and pencil reeds. Look for areas that have a hard, sandy-shelly bottom and areas that have a lighter-colored bottom and around boat trails. The current lake water level is about 1 ft. less now than what it was this time of year last year. The current depth is just less than 13 ft. Please use caution, lots of areas has a rock bottom. This is a good time of year to brush up on your deeper water skills like crank baits; Carolina- rigs and big worms around the ledges.
