Orlando - Freshwater Fishing Report
Kissimmee Chain
Feb 16th and the 17th had us venturing out on the Kissimmee Chain of Lakes with combination trips of shiners and artificial baits. Morning bite had generally started out on the rather slow side, even with shiners being slow trolled, as the sun poked out tho the bite picked up greatly.
Slow trolled shiners along grass beds were excellent producers fr numbers and size. As the days warmed up, pitching Gitem Sugars into grass beds was a great ticket to keep the bass being hauled into the boat.
Eagle Lake
Feb 18th we had clients out on Eagle Lake, slow trolled shiners had produced 3 bass while the Gitem Shad in watermelon color produced another 16 bass.
All bass were caught n very shallow waters, 2 foot or less. Several beds had been spotted but were still vacant.
Kissimmee Chain
Feb 20th and 21st we were back at it again out n the Kissimmee Chain. These two days clients wanted nothing but wild shiners. Again the bite had started out slow, VERY thick fog forced us to start both days out in the ramp area slow trolling along grass beds till the fog lifted enough for us to make a move to a few open water areas that have been producing as of late.
Open water areas had been producing fewer bass BUT the bass were of better quality and more aggressive as they were making the move to the bedding areas.
