The fishing continues to be enjoyable. Most of the fish I have been catching have been in 4 foot of water or less around scattered grass. These fish have been caught with live shinners and 6 inch finese worms, texas rigged, junebug or black in color. When I have been fishing in deeper waters, its been around brush piles with rattle traps, carolina rig, or deep crank baits, all in which have been producing fish. In the areas I have been catching fish on both Lake Conway and Johns Lake, the fish would either hit the shinners or artificial, but one of them more then the other. Florida has also had several windy days, which was helping produce a great jig bite under docks that the wind and waves were crashing into. This past week I fished a late trip with Mark from seatlle, although it rained the entire trip, the shinner bite was incredible right before dark, Mark landed close to a dozen fish, and lost a large bass within the last 45 mins before dark. Mark also had a few fish strike a top water horny toad. Despite the rain it was a great trip. |
