It\u2019s always a little difficult to think that it\u2019s fall down here in Central Florida. Growing up as a kid in Michigan, October meant hot cider and doughnuts, raking leaves, and eating chili in a heavy sweatshirt watching the Wolverines in the Big House in Ann Arbor. After 12 years I\u2019ve learned that fall down here is being thankful the temps are dropping from the low 90\u2019s to the mid 80\u2019s! The good news here is that the lake temps will be falling also, which in turn will mean the bass will become more active again. So with that, let\u2019s talk about how we\u2019re going to catch our finny friends.<\/p>\n
Over on the Kissimmee Chain, and for everyone fishing out of Camp Mack\u2019s Guy Harvey Lodge, Marina and RV Resort, we expect to see a lot of good quality fish being caught. Between the cooler lake temps and the state moving water through the chain more often than not, the bass are chasing bait and feeding in good schools. Topwater baits can be extremely effective this time of the year in the morning hours, and I don\u2019t know a single angler who doesn\u2019t enjoy that action.<\/p>\n
There are several baits to have on deck during this time of year: first is the aforementioned topwater bait of your choice. In open water I prefer a bait that is a little bigger and can make a commotion when ripped, but can still be \u201cdead sticked\u201d when I want. Fishing back in the jungle, I\u2019ll take a hollow body frog or a Gambler EZ Swimmer. Whether you are a novice or \u201ca pro\u201d, pitching a carolina-rig fluke or worm over shell beds when the sun comes up is always a good bet.<\/p>\n
Heading westward back into Winter Haven and the South Chain, you\u2019re still going to want to have a topwater lure tied on first thing in the morning. Because of the difference in bait between the two systems, I prefer a smaller lure like a Pop-R or Jumpin\u2019 Minnow. As the day goes on, we\u2019ll switch over to flukes and belly-weighted swimbaits, with the occasional jerkbait thrown in for good measure.<\/p>\n
