Once again Jimmie catches another bass on live wild shiners. Jimmie is the web guy/tech guy/camera guy from Thefishingtube.com and the show “Reel Fishing” He never gets a chance to bass fish, and this was his first day ever for bass fishing and he did a great job on the Kissimmee Chain of Lakes. I think we have him hooked on bass fishing now!
Butler Chain Bass fishing has been holding pretty steady. My main areas of fishing with clients has been on Lake Butler and Lake Down. Steel Shad and Redeye Shad have been producing some good numbers out here mostly in mid lake areas where we have found the grasses offshore.
Capt Rob Warfield covered for me on another trip as I was already booked, and took his trip out on Lakes Chase and Tibet. Working mainly offshore grasses in 8 to 10 foot of water working trick worms, brush hogs and spinner baits they had a great time boating a bunch of bass. The bass had been relating to the outside edges of the grass beds and would follow the baits out before smacking them. Working slow and being patient was the key, other than the couple very aggressive ones that smacked spinner baits, once you located those bass, it was just a matter of picking apart the grass beds and drop offs.
The middle of September has seen some awesome bass fishing action. We have been working mainly the Kissimmee Chain of Lakes to include world famous Lake Toho, as well as East Lake Toho. The weather seems to have settled some as far as the heat, but I believe that has been mainly due to some breezy days on the water to help cut the heat back.
We had set our sites on the Kissimmee Chain of Lakes, which holds some of the best bass fishing around right now, and the waters did not let them down. Jimmie started the day out in our first spot, hitting a smaller, maybe 2 pound bass in the first 5 minutes, using wild shiners. This was the first ever bass that Jimmie had caught, which I was not aware of at the time. We made one move to an area that has been holding quality bass for some time now, and it was game on. Jimmie landed a very solid 4 pound bass, that fought awesome, no jumping with this gal, she just kept diving to bottom and charging the motor, but Jimmie worked her like a champ and got her in the boat, talk about big smiles for this bass he landed, we also managed to get her on film, so be sure to check out the Bass Fishing Videos on my web site.
The guys wanted me to fish along with them, so I joined them buy tossing around a wacky rigged Strike King Shim E Stick and caught a nice 4 pounder and showed Frankie how to use the Strike King Red Eye Shad, 3 casts into showing him, they grabbed the camera and started filming as what turned out to be a nice 5 pounder slammed the baits and started to dance around.
