I headed down to south GA this past weekend and was forunate enough to get out and fish Lake Seminole with my dad on Sunday. We put in at Cummings Landing around 9:00 am and headed over to the Florida side of the Chattahoochee River. This little spot was approximately 200 yards long and held somewhere around a dozen beds once we searched them all out. Luckily we had the area mostly to ourselves for much of six hours. Many of the beds held bass that were either not aggressive or just didn't seem to be holding their territory strongly, kinda strolling around. We did however get two nice females in the boat after much patience. Both females were post spawn and were quite a challenge to entice a bite from them. Many times they would simply pick up or push our plastics out of their bed. They did become more aggressive around 1:00 pm once the water warmed some and we got out a small ladder to stand on and distanced ourselves from the beds even further than before. The first female pictured below weighed near 4.30 lbs and the second near 4.0 pounds. (Rob- I told you I would take a picture of the first fish I caught with your rod so there she is!) We made a non-Tx move and left the fish and headed back across the river to Saunders Slough. The water there was fairly stained and slam full of grass in most areas. We did find a couple of bedding fish there but couldn't entice any activity from them. We then headed over to the main lake and fished around in Fish Pond Drain near the Crows Foot and I boated one male about 2 pounds off a bed but could never get the female to take. The water was clear and the temperature was in the mid 60's warming slightly during the day. The lake has changed alot over the last few years as the grass is really choking many areas and I also noticed that much of the taller standing timber has fallen.
We did have some company in our first fishing spot and he was kind enough to let us get very close for a good picture. (TT, we didn't make it to the gator hole that I was telling you about but this guy pictured below was about 5-6 feet long and we got a little wet when he decided to move on.)
The weather was great and I couldn't have had a better fishing partner. emoToast
