Well it is not the balmy 85 degree weather we had in the Florida Canals down in the Everglades two weeks ago, but it was still fun! The air was cool and crisp, and it was pleasant on the water. This particular lake we fish quite often in the summer. It is known for its dense thick grass and algae blooms! But, as I thought...now that the water is super cold the grass has died off significantly and the water was crystal clear to the bottom. Lil' Shaka and I mapped out quite a bit of the lake because we could see so clearly.
Here are my notes:
- Lake is at most 10-12 feet deep, but mostly 2-3 feed on average.
- Grass and weeds still very dense but now mostly covering bottom of lake.
- Some spots are open in the lake on bottom, revealing soft mud bottom.
- Tough to throw shaky head or jig, immediately gets into dense grass or weeds on bottom.
- Caught bass on weightness Zoom Flukes on drop or bottom of lake.
- I tried mojo rig, but no luck. It does change the presentation a bit.
- Lil' Shaka tried out a jerkbait, but no dice, got caught up a bit too.
We will get some nice days again and go. We'll try flukes and jerkbaits again and see what happens. I think we can learn a few more tricks and get after them again. I think there are some ways to go after these bass in this type of lake with dense grass. I am very thankful this year for my family and friends. I hope all of you are doing great. Stay Committed, Stay Driven.
