Seminole Ramlin's

October 30, 2005

Frosty conditions coupled with windy conditions has made fishing this week a bit heck-tick. One morning Tallahassee reported 37° and misting rain. We note with gereat entrist that Bassmaster Magazine lists Lake Seminole as one of the top 5 Bass Lakes in the nation for fall fishin. On many days already the Jackfish out-bit the Bass bout 2 to 1.

We have noted that the long distant calls have encreast in reference to the Bass Fishen. We then go back to the ketchen vs the fishen. You have to find the Shad for the Bass hit and the Freshwater Shrimp for the Perch. The Bass's belleys are slam full of Shad and the Perch is full of Shrimp. To attract a Bass to the top one could use a Big Blade on a Clothes Pin Spinner Bait with a good size tail on it. Or as lots of folks has done use a Scum Frog over shallow grass or on points of Lilie Pads. Seems some of them Big Bass need a point to hide under so's they can amush the Lure or Live Bait as it comes by. Who knows what's in the mind of a Bass?

Many good ketches of Perch has been made this week on Jigs in shallow water and Minnows in a little deeper water. One boat hooked 15 Perch on 15 casts with a Jig, 6 to 8 feet of water, releasing all of them. Another boat drifting the extreme lower Appalachee boats sixty Bass releasing all of them alive and as they hit the Salt Water 2 Reds hit and they kept them to eat. The same type of fishing is going on ;up the Flint and Chattahoochee. Another boat put in in upper Appalachee below Jim Woodruff and drifted with 7 Bass and one at 7 lbs. Their names were Dallas Johnson and Ken DaVico.

We note that the lake level is falling and the current is very swift. At this riten, the gauge at Blountstown is at less than 4 foot. That's about as low as it gits and still have pleasure boats to go over it safely. Many boats are taking boat trips in the fall due to the fall colors and cooler weather.

Dallas Johnson and Ken DaVico both of Recovery, GA.
