CAPTAIN LYNDA HAWKINS GUIDE SERVICE Fishing Report For Central Florida BASS
N GAL GUIDE SERVICE Captain Lynda reports fishing has been great. Beautiful specks are still coming out of Lake Monroe, the St. John’s River and the Harris Chain using a pink, a blue, a gold or a red Ron’s Zip jig tipped with minnows. On a recent guide trip with Captain Lynda, Bill & Cody Milton caught and released over 30 bass up to 9 pounds. Cody was 13 but had to be one of the best fishermen that I have ever fished with. He was not afraid to try new ideas. Bass would follow his swim bait but would turn at the boat and he quickly threw a Hot Rod Worm and would catch them. On another trip Paul Buck caught and released an 8.6 pounder. Bob MaCarie and Dick Capazie had a great time fishing with wild shiners and Dick caught & released an 8 pound lunker. A Culprit Pro-Frog, flipping with a Bass Assassin June bug blue tailed worm and wild shiners are all producing some nice bass. A lot of the local small lakes are really hot right now. Fishing a wild shiner on a freeline (without a bobber or weight) is still producing some huge fish. A Rat-L-trap (chrome blue, chrome green or gold} has also produced some nice bass for my customers. A slow falling sinking weightless worm (Producto’s Hot Rod works great) or a white and chartreuse Stanley spinner bait reeled in as slowly as possible, are both working quite well. Be sure to lift up on your rod tip occasionally to make the spinner bait look as natural as possible. The St. John’s River around Crow’s Bluff is a great place to fish a Producto watermelon, Junebug or redbug Hot Rod worm. If you think you are fishing too slow, slow down even more. This bait can produce some huge bass but it has to be worked very slowly. Lake Dora, Lake Harris, Lakes Cypress, Toho and Lake Hatchineha are still giving up some nice bass on wild shiners and flipping the heavy Kissimmee Grass. Be sure to try a frog or toad, cranking them fast (first thing in the morning or all day if it is overcast), over lily pads, topped out hydrilla and along weed lines for largemouth bass. Captain Lynda is now fishing some private lakes as well as Central Florida major lakes and rivers. Stop in at Sorrento Bait and Tackle to view the 15.2 pound lunker bass replica mount done by taxidermist Paul Solomon of Winter Garden. This bass was caught by Captain Lynda and released so others could enjoy the thrill.
