With water levels low fish are biting on the outside edges of the weed beds in 5-6 feet of water. Caught at least one fish over 8 lbs. the last time out but most fish are 2-4 lbs. Top waters in the early morning and soft plastic worms fished slower later on in the day. Fish are biting live wild shiners on fished on corks. Both on the Butler Chain and Kissimmee Chain the fish are doing well and you will catch 15-20 fish in a ½ day. Artificial bite is a little slower for bigger fish but you can catch some smaller fish up to 5lbs. on watermelon red flukes and chrome blue rattle traps when you see them schooling on the surface.

Great Fishing!
