Caught a few more channel cats this morning. They bit worms, wouldn't take cut bait or liver. Lake Seminole. Darn hydrilla gnats were terrible when the breeze quit.

Well, to catch you up with what's going on with Lake Seminole. The water level is up and down constantly. Most often I have to put the top down on the pontoon boat to get under the bridge at Cypress Pond. Noticed hybrids running shad to the surface out in the main lake from Sealys to the Indian mounds. Bream still bedding here and there, but they lock up quick after catching about five or six. Catching a few shellcrackers around the grass edges. Catfish bite is off and on, but I've been catching a few good one's. When a storm nears, the wind takes me across the lake like I'm in a sail boat. Time to go back to the dock when that happens.

Received word, that hydrilla spraying is soon to happen in Rays Lake and Lewis Pond. We'll see.

Caught 12 channel cats in Seminole this morning. It was overcast. When the clouds moved out, cats quit biting.

Those little bitty white hydrilla gnats are terrible if there's no breeze. I wear a head net to help Keep them from behind my glasses and out of the ears. They can be seen crawling all over everything.

A couple of questions sir: I'm coming down to Lake Seminole Friday 8/20/21. Are there any bass tournaments that weekend? Where can we catch some big flathead & blue catfish?
Son

I haven't kept up with the tournaments, but they have plenty. Flatheads are mostly caught in the rivers, The Flint or Chattahoochee can be reached from the lake. Last blues I heard being caught were west of the dam. A few were caught in the deep channels in the main lake. Most of what I've catching are channel cats. Worms have been working best for the channel cats.

How much rain did you on you end of the lake?

On lake Seminole, have been doing well with shellcrackers and channel cats. Having to fish different areas depending on water levels. Darn lake has been up and down, mostly up. Rivers are stained

Noticed yesterday, the small connecting lakes and canals to lake Seminole are not muddy, but the water is dark. If it doesn't rain any time soon, that should clear up. Lots of dead coontail moss floating around my dock, it's a mess. Much of it probably cut up by boat traffic. Plus a gator is busy digging the bottom in several places in our lake.

Cypress Pond to Hickory Pond remains clear, but dark. Not muddy, don't know what has the water so dark, but it's hard to see bottom at my dock.
