Orlando - Freshwater Fishing Report
Conway Chain
Today I spent a few hours this morning running around the Conway Chain of Lakes. These lakes are very clean waters which dictates Mono or Fluorocarbon lines. I had pretty much spent most of the time on North Lake Conway up in deeper waters. Working top water baits and drop shot baits were a very good option. Drop shot was working good first thing in the morning set up over a 22 foot hole, as the bass were stacked up in it. All I had to do was drop the bait straight down and one little bounce and I had a hook up.
Schooling activity was very strong all morning long, and they were still schooling when I pulled off the water at 11am. Spooks and Speed Pencils were picking them off on the surface in waters running 9 to 20 feet deep. With all the fishing pressure on John’s Lake, this was a good switch. Good ramp on the chain to launch one boat at a time, and limited parking is the only draw back to this area. But the fishing was great which always makes up for any negatives.
Till my next report, tight lines and great fishing!!
