Seminole Ramlin's

June 4, 2006

Things these old eyes of mine have seen this week, a Red Fox crossing the hi-way 20 steps behind a yellow cat in downtown Quincy, a Turkey Hen 50 steps ahead of a Florida Cat trying to jump in the air higher than he could jump, paratroopers jumping into a small airport just practicing, an alligator trying to sneak up on a snake in the water. Turtles trying to climb up on a round stick of pulpwood, a show within itself.

We here at the June Bug Tournament wish to thank all of those that donated prizes to the kids. They ranged from Wild Adventures in Valdosta to Dairy Queen in Bainbridge and SNeads along with Subway in Marianna and a hideaway trip in Appilachicola. 57 kids were on Bass Island, not all were legal fishermen. 2 came from Denver, CO to be there. 2 also came from Porta Rico.

A good week fishen took place on Ole Sem this week with Perch, Bream and Shellcracker in the lead, Bass has been in limbo most of the week with a very few big ones taken. Perch was had in many different ways from Jiggin Minnows on Naked Hooks to throwing little 1/32 oz Jigs on the grass beds. I mite remind you that the water temp is in the mid 80’s so let your Minnows warm up slowly or they will die as they hit the water.

2 Shellcracker beds were reported by noon Sunday and some real good catches on Bream. Fly Rod Fishing is OK if the wind will slow. We are due for a major Willow Fly hatch.

The picture is of Thomas Brock, son of Mills and Mandy Brock of Recovery, GA, the youngest fisherman in the June Bug Tournament, winner of the 0 to 3 category, who also caught the first fish of the tournament
