Went out with my duck hunting buddy, Dave, this morning to see if we could find some of the spectacular fishing the Lake has been offering up lately and all I can say is :bounce: . Dave and I lost count after about 60 fish and they just kept coming. At one time I had 6 bass in a row from 1 to 3 lbs as we went through too many Big Ezs, Senkos, and Skinny Dippers. We launched out of Government Cut and explored around the area and moved on after finding the water there was about as clear as coffee with extra cream. Ended up fishing around Buckhead Ridge and absolutely SMOKED THEM. Largest went about five pounds, but many fish in the 3lb range especially after switching to the larger Big EZ from the Skinny Dipper. Dave caught the largest of the day using a Senko.
The bass are concentrated on the outside edges of the grass feeding heavily and chasing mullet, shad, and whatever they can eat. Lost about a 6lb on a lip-less crank-bait while casting parallel to the grass edge, she jumped twice and then bulldogged into the grass and it was game over. We were out of the water by 1:30 and I think we easily hit the 100 fish mark! Spoke with a couple of guys at the ramp and an "ole timer" said this is the best he has seen the Lake's bass fishery in the past 20 years! Also, spoke with my buddy Jeremy that went out of Clewiston and he ended up with an 8lber, 9lber, and a couple of 5lbers fishing the East Wall. Wish our South Florida get together was on the Lake, cause it is absolutely incredible
