My
goodness how the deep woods has come to life, the sweet smell of
the wild yeller Jasmine, the wild Plum and the Crabapple just makes
for a fine walk in the woods. And just think in bout 60 to
90 days, vine ripe tomatoes.
This
has been a week for the Bass, they have come up shallow to a pre-spawn
day or two & then straight on to the beds. There is bedding
fish in most every part of the lake. There seems to be no end
to them. One boat reported a 6 lb. male Bass with eyes as red
as blood.
One
sand bar produced 20 Bass in just one afternoon. One lady near
old as me caught her first Bass ever. Now she’s ruint
for life, her husband will not be able fish with the boys no more.
12
year old Mathew Contrell of MacClenny, FL took
a 6 lbs. Bass off the gas dock. You should have seen his face. He
was in the Baker Co. Bass Club with his dad.
Tom
Ridley of the Valdosta Bass Club took their Big Fish – a four
pounder.
The
Butler Co. Greenville, AL club had a nice catch of fish the first
day but failed the second.
The
Niceville, FL club, John Langston & Jerry Hill had 5 fish at
24 lbs. to wind the 2 day event.
The
Beaches Bass Club of Jacksonville Beach had a 4 fish limit at 13.2.
lbs. with a 5 pounder as Big Fish. That shows how good the
Bass Fishen is here on the lake.
Now
for the pole fishermen, there had been a lot of Bream and Shellcrackers
taken on worms this week in many different places. One don’t
have to look too hard to find a gathering.
Then
the Perch and Catfish has been a good thing this week. Jigs
and Minnows taken Perch like mad. Jigs mostly. One person
took a limit 3 days on Jigs. Lots of folks taken 15 to 20 a
trip.
For
those that like to know, the Big FLW this weekend on Lake Eufalla
had 4 boats running 2 hours each way to Lake Seminole
to fish bedding Bass. It will be interesting to know how they
make out Sunday afternoon, by the way, Dogwood is in full bloom,
top water time.
