Seminole Ramlin's

July 08, 2007

             The Talquin Hookers fished Lake Seminole Saterday 10 boats strong in very hot weather.  One lady sed you could poach an egg on top of her head.  This is how they finished:  Lonnie Walsh was first and had Big Fish, Sarah Dunn had second and 2 nice Bass, Tony Scott brung up third.  The girls were beet red with the exception of one.

            One of the husbands road to the dam and watched a fisherman pulling in Catfish after Catfish, some up to 12 lbs. using muscle meat for bait.  The Hybrids (Sunshine Bass) were schooling all over the river below the dam.

            Most of the Top Water hits has just stopped cold turkey.  Most of Mrs. Walsh’s ketch was from Flipping and Plastic Swim Baits under the water.

            Mr. Brown and son caught 20 lbs. of Bass and one went jist over 10 lbs. and had another in the same class break off.

            With the passing of this week, many limits of Bream were taken off beds.  Some newcomers ask were they supposed to fish the stumps, the ansure is no, with the eception of Spring Creek, stumps mean deep water.

            Fly Rod Fishen has took a turn for the better, White Flys with Spider Legs seem to be the gooduns.  Limit catches was made late in the week.

            The past week had 2 important dates to remember, Tuesday, July 3rd, 1926, the US Army Corps of Engineers was founded.  Now Friday the 6th, 1944 was D-Day at Normandy.  So many were lost that day and for the next 120 days, each time they fought a battle we lost 5,000 men.  WWII Soldiers are dieing off at the rate of 1,000 per day now.

            The moon is at Quarter this day will be dark nites rite soon.  Fish should feed in the daytime, let’s hope.
