The bass fishing on Lake Seminole has been incredible this past June! It’s been taking between 25 and 30 plus pounds to win derbies here! As we go into July, the top-water action should continue to be great, especially early and late, and on cloudy days. Buzzbaits and frogs worked over and around the grass lines should continue to get results. When fishing a frog use a high speed reel and 50 to 65 pound braided line. I prefer Cortland Master Braid, it casts well and is strong enough to get the big bass out of the heaviest cover.

The grass on the lake took a beating from Hurricane Michael but is coming back strong due to the clear water and high temperatures. Flipping should start getting good as the grass starts to mat. When flipping hydrilla I prefer an 8 foot rod with a lot of backbone and 65 pound braid because of its low stretch, strength and durability.

The bream fishing has continued to flourish with beds along many shorelines and around docks. We’ve seen numerous limits of bream crossing the docks at Mac’s Point Lodge and Marina, formerly known as Wingate’s Lodge.
