This is one of the strangest reports and articles I think I\u2019ve written in my entire fishing career. The last 2-3 months are typically the busiest of the year and have us running multiple boat trips, and tons of doubles but that just was not the case.\u00a0 I\u2019ve been on the water with friends and single client trips but with the down time it\u2019s the first time since I was a kid long before I started guiding a decade ago that I can devote so many beautiful morning to the woods in God\u2019s \u201cOther\u201d Country – the water will always be my first love.<\/p>\n
\u00a0First, I hope this finds all of you and your families well.\u00a0 As a Navy Corpsman who served TB\/HIV \u201cSunshine Wards\u201d in Cuba back in the mid-90\u2019s for the Cuban & Haitian rafter crisis, being in the fresh air and sunshine is THE BEST place to be to still live life and not live in lockdown or fear.\u00a0 This is not to be negative to those that want to self-quarantine, I\u2019m not judging, but I know from real life practical nursing and field experience that you\u2019re at very low risk on the water while still practicing safe measures. Last month was the first time in countless trips in something like 5 years that I did not shake hands with Mr. Martin before launching and \u201chigh-fives\u201d on yet another awesome bass in the boat.\u00a0 It was weird but we adapted and overcame it just fine.<\/p>\n
\u00a0So, with that being said let\u2019s get to fishing on the Kissimmee Chain out of Camp Mack.\u00a0 May is going to have these fish really settling into their summer patterns big time and hopefully the rainy season starts sooner rather than latter and we can get more water into the lakes.\u00a0 More water means moving water and moving water is critical when the lake temps are up.\u00a0 We should be seeing more dragon fly hatches, shad and shiner spawns on the different moon phases which all leads to increased feeding periods, which means more fish in the boat.\u00a0 Start out your mornings with your favorite topwater lures depending upon which parts of the lakes you\u2019re on.\u00a0 I like open water early so a Zara Spook or Devil\u2019s Horse is always in play, frogs if you\u2019re in the juggle.\u00a0 Of course we all switch up to worms, flukes, or swimbaits as the sun gets higher in the sky.<\/p>\n
\u00a0In Winter Haven I\u2019m always looking for that early morning topwater bite so smaller baits like Pop-Rs or any 4\u201d bait will do.\u00a0 Here, it\u2019s a broken record but if you don\u2019t have a fluke tied-on, you\u2019re cheating yourself.\u00a0 That\u2019s not the only bait to throw as crankbaits & swimbaits will always perform, but a fluke is essential in my boat.<\/p>\n
