Orlando - Freshwater Fishing Report
Kissimmee Chain
The last few days has had us on both the Kissimmee Chain and Butler chain.
Kissimmee Chain has been producing some good numbers as well as size.
Shiners worked along grass bed edges as well as flipping them into small potholes in the grass beds has been producing some good solid bass.
Gitem AKA with 1/16th bullet pegged and dropped into grass bed potholes as well as hydrilla patches has been also producing very good. Ribbed body on the AKA creates a great disturbance in the water and has really got the bass keyed into it. White/pink spinnerbaits slow rolled has also produced very good. Working mainly points of the grass beds on the outsides of the wind blown side has been the ticket
Butler Chain
Butler Chain is still producing some very good number on artificials as well.
Big ticket bait has been a black/red lizard with a 1/16th bullet pegged on 10 pound test mono, worked slowly thru eel grass and flooded timber. Carolina rigged and drop shot baits have been good also as usual. Drop shot bait of choice has been a bubble gum trick worm and Carolina rig bait of choice has been the Gitem Shad in watermelon. Cleaner waters has dictated long casts and baits worked slowly as the waters had cooled in areas to mid to upper 50’s.
Today’s water temp at days end was 63 and with warmer weather the rest of the week will heat the waters up and really turn them on and make for even better action. ALWAYS keep a spook tied on as there have been shad busts on the water.
