The fish are now in their summer time patterns here in Florida and the key to catching fish on this lake is to follow the "bait"! You can either idle around on your graphs and look for it above the weeds or you can put ur trolling motor on high and look for activity. Or as I like to do. Just find the windy shorelines! The bait is pushed along those areas and the Bass follow suit. High speed Reel is key to keep those fish pegged over the grass and not letting them burry you in it. Also I prefer a longer rod than most with my topwater to get a little further of casts. :)

Heavy Grass and hydrilla areas between docks with current flowing were key to getting bites, every area I caught bass in had birds feeding on some type of baitfish. Water depth was between 2 and 4 feet and slightly stained.

Swimming a worm through Kissimmee grass and pencil reeds was most productive. Largest today was only about 3lbs but they were plentiful.
