Lake Conditions: 6 inches below full pool, 84 degrees and stained.
Bass Fishing on Lake Seminole has been better than normal for this time of year. The Bass are moving into their summer-time areas under the pads and outer grass lines on the main lake. The top-water bite has been productive using buzz-baits and frogs in these areas. A Strike King Pro Model buzz-bait in white and chartreuse is my favorite to use on the Flint River arm of the lake. Hollow-body frogs have been producing around the pad fields on the Chattahoochee arm. I’ve been using a Strike King KVD Sexy Frog in copper. I really like this frog because it has a stout hook that will pull the big ones through the pads, and it comes with a rattle that gives extra sound and action.
The Spring Creek arm of the lake is remaining clear, even with all the rain we have been getting and the bass have been being taken on jerk-baits like a Strike King KVD Deep jerk-bait in Clearwater Minnow fished over the edges of the deep grass.
As of this writing, the bream and shellcracker have still been bedding and the campers at Bass Island Campground at Wingate’s Lunker Lodge have been catching them by the coolers full. Bream are being caught with crickets and the shellcracker are biting worms. Miss Jane has both stocked at the Wingate’s Lunker Lodge store open on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays.
