Seminole Ramlin's

July 30, 2006

Some 70 years ago when I was a young boy, we dreaded dog days, which comes in July 28 & last till Sept. 5th. Among the many things that we feared was, ground itch, sore eyes, mad dogs, mad foxes, coons, possums. Clovetean salve was used on our eyes each morning to sofen the lids so with warm water they could be prized open.
Folks from our stand point bass fishen started off slow & then tapered off, but not so slow as the fishen on Lake Norman where a 5 fish limit of fish in W.B.F.L. (Ladies Bass) tipped the scales at a measly 8lbs, we had one boat report 2 1/2 hrs fishen 1 bite but he wieghed 7 1/2 lbs. We have had lots of good bass taken but not many of them in numbers.

Our bream has been, " Walkin Tall " as has our shellcracker. We have had cases where the bream would not take crickets but would eat a worm soon as it droped in a bed. One man reported he had caught " The Bigest Bream " ever on Lake Seminole. Three fingered bream is the best aveage fish over all, they all taste good fried up brown.

We still have had speckle perch hitting all week long on jigs, one boat reported good catch on small jiggin spoons. Why in the heat of the summer ??.
Our hybreds had been a hit & miss situtation all week long until Sunday when Mr Edmonds Jr. & Mr McKeller Jr. of Moultrie Ga. took a whopping big box of them on jiggn spoons. Maybe they will settle down and give us some more good ones this week.

in the 16 years of the Tri-states water wars, the Judge in Alabama at least has made a stand, it may not be what we wanted to hear, but atleast a stand. One mite say It's like mixen axel grease with sweet creem, the axel grease dosen't suffer much but the sweet cream is ruint.

Sorry, no pictures this week!!
