Fishing Report for Lake Alfred – Auburndale – Winter Haven area
Surprisingly, it has been a very good summer for blue gills and shell crackers, especially on Lakes Rochelle and Haines in Lake Alfred. We are still getting reports of good size fish and lots of limits being brought in. The bait of choice is live crickets. If you havenât tried using a fly rod give it a try. Flies have been working very well.
Itâs always a great time for bass fishing even though itâs been very hot as of late. Our bass fishing reports from the North and South Winter Haven Chains are still coming in strong. Fish deep during the hot daytime hours using Booyah lipless crankbaits in royal color or Bass Assassin swim bait for best results.
For best results during the evening hours swim your bait along the shoreline in two to three feet of water. This past month weâve seen a good number of six to eight pound bass and also many in the two to three pound range. A great example of the fish being caught is shown in the photo of father/son team Javi and Robert Garcia, at a recent RTB Weekly Tournament.
