Orlando - Freshwater Fishing Report
Johns Lake
Today we hit John’s Lake for a few hours before putting the boat in lock down for the next 2 days until the storm passes by. Started out working the horseshoe area with Gitem Drops picking up a few scattered throughout the cut. Most were coming more from the center of the cut, with a few coming from along the grass edges. I did manage 2 on the Little George, instead of a typical retrieve, I would “pop” it and it would get hit on the fall.
Moving out to the main lake area, I worked A LOT of grass beds, most the beds which had a more scattered pattern to them, and worked the drop shot thru them. Seemed having the drop set at 2 feet was perfect for coming thru the scattered patches as it kept the bait in what definitely appeared to be the strike zone for the day. I ended the day finding some of the good “slop” consisting of heavy grasses and lily pads and worked a frog for about 45 minutes and managed to get one last bass for the day. Total for the day was 12 bass, and all ran right at 2 pounds each.
Till my next report, tight lines and great fishing!!
