Reports
Panfish are biting.
Shellcracker and bluegill will fill your cooler if the
winds allow you to go fishing. Bass action will be the No.
1 draw as the winds subside. The first sustained warm
weather might put some of them on the beds again.
Butler Chain of
Lakes Fishing
Fish the Butler
Chain for bass, bluegills and shellcrackers. Bass are
holding near reeds and lily pads. Trick worms (black and
purple work best), spinnerbaits and crankbaits all have
been effective. Use redworms around pads for bluegills
and shellcrackers.
Florida
Fishing Resorts
Conway Chain of
Lakes Fishing
Fish the Conway Chain for bass. Fish
can be found near beds in shallow waters. Shiners,
crankbaits and plastic worms will all produce strikes.
Try working near docks and near vegetation. Fish
drop-offs with plastic worms and jigging spoons.
Lake Ida Chain of
Lakes Fishing
The Lake Ida chain of lakes has been
the top spot for catching good numbers of largemouth
bass, Peacock bass also have been biting.
Florida
Fishing Lodging
Lake Blue Cypress
Florida Fishing
Largemouth bass anglers can expect to find
fish between the weedline and the cypress trees in the
southern portion of the lake and around grass or lily
pads along other shorelines. If adequate rainfall
continues and water is released through the water
control structure in Big-M Canal, bass may also school
up around the mouth of the canal when there is current
flowing northward. The vegetated banks of Big M Canal
and Zigzag Canal may also harbor a few good fish.
Dark-colored plastic worms, topwater chuggers, propeller
plugs, spinnerbaits, and live bait (golden shiners) are
generally favored. Bluegill and redear sunfish
catches may slow down a bit, but a few should still be
found along grass-lines in 1 to 3 feet of water and also
around the open-water fish attractors. Big M Canal and
Zigzag Canal should also be productive for panfish.
Fly-rod popping bugs, small jigs, beetle spins, and live
bait (crickets, grass shrimp and worms) are the favored
methods. Indian County River Florida Fishing

Inshore catches are great if you like
to catch reds, trout, mangrove snapper and silver trout.
Offshore was producing grouper, mangrove snapper, black
sea bass and grunt before the blow. The grouper might go
deeper but most likely will not.
Crescent Lake
Florida Fishing
Crescent Lake has been strong for bass
fishing. Fishing guides are throwing topwater lures
early and late, but you had better have shiners the
remainder of the day. Docks
in deeper waters along the western shore of the lake are
the best bet for largemouth bass anglers using either
artificial baits or live shiners. Numerous deadfalls
scattered on the eastern shore often hold bass. Try the
deeper edges of the bulrush and grass patches along the
west shore of the lake. Cooler temperatures bring out
the black crappie (speckled perch). Anglers should have
good luck drifting or trolling minnows or crappie jigs,
particularly in the southern end of the lake.

Try fishing in
early morning or late afternoon along the weedlines of
the old creek channels in Bear, Econfina, and Cedar
Creeks and along the south side of Bayou George. Try
fishing for bass with dark-colored artificial worms,
live shiners, and weedless lures. Bay County

Lake Florida Fishing
Everglades Fishing
Bass fishing remained tough in the
Everglades, but if you can find running water, you
should be able to catch some fish. The flats at
Loxahatchee National Wildlife Refuge were producing fair
numbers of bass. Flipping in the canals was producing
most of the bigger fish. Big plastic worms fished slowly
along the bottom and topwater plugs were catching some
fish in the canals at Everglades Holiday Park.
Florida
Everglades Fishing
Harris Chain of
Lakes Fishing
Try the Harris Chain for crappie and
bass. If you're targeting crappie, try Lake Griffin and
Lake Yale. Fish near reeds and lily pads, adjusting the
depth on your baits until you find where fish are
staging. Minnows and jigs work best. You can work the
area with a small spinnerbait as well. Bass fishing is
best on Lake Harris and Lake Eustis. Fish near reeds,
lily pads in eel grass with spinnerbaits, crankbaits or
shiners. The Butler and Conway Chains have both been
decent for bedding bass. Use shiners, crankbaits and
plastic worms.
Lake County Florida Fishing
Osborne Chain of
Lakes Fishing
Peacock bass are being
taken regularly in the lake by anglers working
spinnerbaits, stickbaits and topwater plugs - the
smaller the better. Anglers have also been catching a
lot of bluegill and numerous small bass along the
shoreline edges especially in and around vegetated
areas. Grass shrimp, crickets, small jigs have been the
preferred baits for bluegill, which should continue to
cooperate through October. Most bass are taken on live
baits such as shad and shiners. However, many can be
taken in the early morning with topwater lures and later
in the day with plastic worms and crankbaits. Jigs and live minnows should be
excellent producers. Nice size channel catfish can be
caught using chicken liver or live worms. Mayan cichlids
continue to be prominent in the lake and can be taken
near shore next to the vegetation using grass shrimp,
live worms, crickets, and small artificial lures such as
beetle spins and jigs. Palm Beach County Florida Fishing

Indian River
Florida Fishing
Plenty of
redfish can be caught in the northern Indian River. Fish
north of the railroad bridge, along both flats on either
side of the river. Trout and ladyfish will be in the
same location. Use shrimp under popping corks, crabs or
soft plastic jerkbaits.
Indian
River Florida Fishing
Lake Monroe
Florida Fishing
Try Lake Monroe for bass and crappie.
Bass can be found in shallow waters, grasslines and the
edges of reeds. Use small topwater lures or plastic
toads in shallow waters. Try spinnerbaits, crankbaits
and shiners near vegetation. Crappie can be caught near
the power plant on minnows and jigs.
Florida Bay/10,000
Islands Fishing
Good snook
reports are coming in, as it is one of the two most
delightful times to be in the 10,000 Islands because the
fish are biting, but mosquitoes are not ravenous yet.
Florida Keys
Fishing
Very good yellowtail action in depths
of 40 to 100 feet of water and the fish are averaging 1
½ to five pounds. Offshore boats continue to do
well on blackfin tuna to 20 pounds off the Hump and a
few dolphins outside of 400 feet. Florida
Keys Fishing
Florida Treasure
Coast Fishing
Hot action on
sailfish and dolphin in 100 feet of water eating live
baits or trolled dead ballyhoo. And along the beaches,
mackerel, bluefish and croakers are biting and inshore
loads of large sea trout are available for
catch-and-release on the grass. Redfishing has been good
around the spoil islands near Little Mud Creek. Snapper,
small snook, pompano, bluefish and mackerel have been
biting around most inshore bridges.
Lake Harney Florida Fishing
Work topwater
lures and crankbaits in Lake Harney for bass. Soft
plastic jerkbaits, plastic worms and spinnerbaits work
best around reeds and cover. Drifting with shiners
should also produce plenty of action. Try fishing with
redworms and crickets near lily pads for bluegills.
Kissimmee Chain of
Lakes Fishing
Try the
Kissimmee Chain for bass and shellcrackers. Bass can be
found near Kissimmee grass and hydrilla. Texas-rigged
plastic worms or crankbaits are effective. Use plastic
toads and lizards in thick cover. When the weather warms
back up, look for bass to move back on to beds in
shallow waters. Shellcrackers are also bedding in
shallow waters and can be caught on redworms and
crickets. Grab you gear and run to record
shellcracker action. Shellcracker are definitely the hot
item in this area.
Kissimmee

Lake Istokpoga
Florida Fishing
Bass have been
spawning, but anglers have had a tough time getting out
because of the winds. Big shellcracker are the main
event in panfish. You can catch a few bluegill, as well.
Troll with a small spinner bait and you might even get a
few specks.
Lake
Istokpoga Florida Fishing
Lake Lochloosa
Florida Fishing
Catches of quality
largemouth bass have been steady, and bass anglers
should have success in the knotgrass patches on the
south and west shores of the lake in the months to come.
Bluegill and redear sunfish can be caught on crickets,
grass shrimp and live minnows in the pads at the
northwest side of the lake, most of Little Lochloosa and
the south end of the lake. The knotgrass patches on the
east shore and around Burnt Island are also worth a try.
Alachua County Florida Fishing
Miami Dade
Fishing
Anglers have been catching kingfish,
sharks, dolphin and a few mutton snappers. Reported
catches of cobia to 32 pounds, kingfish to 12 pounds and
mutton snappers along the outer reef line in 800-plus
feet of water. Dolphins to 15 pounds are feeding along
broken weedlines.
Mosquito Lagoon Fishing
Try fishing the central Mosquito Lagoon for
slot-sized redfish. Shrimp, jigs and soft plastic
jerkbaits all work well. Trout will be in the same
location and will hit the same baits. Try fishing
near Tiger Shoals in the Mosquito Lagoon for redfish and
trout. Fish near sandholes with shrimp, jigs and jerkbaits.
A few flounder and black drum are in the same area.
North Biscayne
Bay Florida Fishing
Lots of sea trout have been available
to those working the grass flats in three to six feet of
water. Catching fish in the 12 to 20 inch range using ¼
ounce Hook Up lures tipped with a soft plastic shrimp or
baitfish tail and a piece of Fishbites for added scent.
Rapala Twitching Raps that track just under the surface
and Skitter Walks that work the surface have also been
getting their fair share of large sea trout. Cajun
Thunder corks with a live shrimp or pilchard has been
deadly on the trout for those that don’t like throwing
artificial lures. A few small mackerel and jacks have
been working the baitfish schools in the and if your
lucky you might have a school of 10 pound jack crevalles
pay you a visit while you are fishing the trout. Snook
fishing has been slow.
Sarasota Florida
Fishing
Mackerel,
bluefish and trout are being caught. Snook are a little
testy, but will be on a big bite very soon. Redfish are
schooling. Next up in a couple of weeks will be the
night snook action.
Sebastian Inlet
Fishing
The Sebastian Inlet
has been good for snook during tide changes. The trick is
finding what bait the fish want on any certain day.
Redfish have been most active west of the bridge. Cut
baits and crabs are the most effective. Fish the flats
behind the inlet for snook, trout, redfish, jacks,
bluefish and ladyfish.
Try heading out to
the Gulf Stream out of Sebastian Inlet for dolphin,
blackfin tuna and sailfish. Troll the edge with ballyhoo
and cedar plugs. If you fish in shallower depths your sure
to run into king mackerel and large schools of bonito.
Catch a few and keep for bait. South Biscayne
Bay Florida Fishing
The bonefish have been hitting live
shrimp and the permit live crabs. Best action has been
on the last of the outgoing tides and the first couple
hours of the incoming. Tarpon continue to work their way
south along the shallow Oceanside flats and are hitting
soft plastic baitfish lures.
Lake Okeechobee
Florida Fishing
Largemouth bass fishing should be best on the outside
edges of shoreline vegetation (mainly bulrush, eelgrass,
and knotgrass). Try spoons and spinnerbaits in the grass
flats, and plastic worms and flipping jigs in the heaver
cover. Of course, golden shiners will be one of the top
baits this fall as the water cools some. The north shore
of Fisheating Bay has been a good place to catch bass,
some over five pounds. Other areas to try are Kings Bar
and Eagle Bay Island on the north end of Lake
Okeechobee, the Tin House Cove and Indian Prairie areas
on the west side, the West Wall, East Wall, the Tip of
Ritta Island and the Bay Bottom near Clewiston and Belle
Glade.

Catches of bluegill
and black crappie have been outstanding over the last
several months amongst the emergent vegetation and open
water, respectively. Largemouth bass anglers can
currently enjoy catches of 1 to 2-pound bass around the
majority of the lake shoreline, although catches of
larger fish have become more abundant. Spinnerbaits,
jerkworms and plastic worms will be the top baits.

Bluegill are
hot and heavy. The lake is up a little, which is good.
Bass action will resume as soon as the winds subside.
Lake George
Florida Fishing
You can catch
bass, bluegills and a few crappie in Lake George. Work
near any cover for bass. Try near lily pads and trees
for bluegills and work drop-offs for crappie. . . . The
Butler Chain has been decent for bass. Fish near lily
pads and reeds with trick worms and crankbaits. Putnam County Florida Fishing
Tsala Apopka Chain
of Lakes Fishing
Live golden shiners
are always good in this system for largemouth bass. Use
crickets and worms on the bottom for bluegill and redear
sunfish. Water moving through any canal (whether by wind
or current) is a likely spot for largemouth bass to
congregate. However, until water levels rise these
canals can be very shallow and difficult to navigate.
Continue to target submerged willow tree bases for these
sanctuaries are known holdouts for largemouths.
Texas-rigged plastic worms with no weight will allow
anglers to flip baits within the security of these
shaded environs. Black crappie fishing picks up this
time of year and many successful anglers dip hooked
minnows close to lily pads. Citrus County Florida

Lake Seminole
Florida Fishing
Seminole is
currently producing some truly outsized bass for a lake
so far north. We're seeing a lot of 5- to 6-pound fish
on a regular basis. The lake has a huge shad population,
so there's lots of forage. Those shad play a key
role for fall anglers on this lake. So too, does
hydrilla. Though any deep hydrilla edge can hold
fish, savvy anglers often find them faster by
concentrating on irregularities along the edge. Bends in
a creek channel, points where one channel intersects
with another, or the sharp end of a drop from a
shoreline flat can all pay off. Bass actively feed
on shad, but may not be chasing them in open water.
Often, the largemouths are ambushing from the edge of
the hydrilla. Frogs or white Trick Worms have proven
deadly when twitched over those edges. Topwater plugs
like the venerable Zara Spook or virtually any of the
"chugger" baits like the Rebel Pop-R or Storm
Chug Bug can be effective. Jackson County Florida

St. Johns River

Try the St. Johns River near Lemon
Bluff for bass, catfish and panfish. Bass can be found
in oxbows as well as lily pads and grass lines.
Crankbaits and spinnerbaits both work well. Try
dead-sticking plastic worms in thick cover. Catfish,
bluegills and shellcrackers can be found near turns. St. Johns County Florida Fishing
You can experience the
spectacular fishing of the Sunshine State every year if
you buy timeshare in Florida. A timeshare
is a great way to ensure that you'll be able to return
to your favorite fishing region every year. And
because timeshare
units tend to be larger and better equipped than do
hotel rooms, they're a great option for the outdoorsman
who'll be traveling with a lot of gear. The added
space means that you'll be more comfortable on your
vacation, and isn't that the point. You'll also
find hundreds of timeshares
for rent all over Florida. When you rent
timeshare you'll be afforded many of the perks of buying
(like extra room and luxurious amenities) without any
commitment to buy. Florida Bass
Fishing
Florida bass are well-known as strong
fighters, and are fished recreationally. Depending upon
species and various other factors such as water quality
and availability of food, bass may be found in Florida
lakes, Florida reservoirs, Florida ponds, Florida rivers,
Florida streams, Florida creeks, even
roadside ditches. Largemouth bass are known for their
overall size and resistance when hooked, favoring short,
powerful runs and escape to cover such as submerged logs
or weedbeds. Florida Smallmouth bass tend to jump
more and fight aggressively on the surface when hooked,
in order to throw the hook. Bass are usually fileted
when taken for the table, however, more and more Florida
bass anglers are adopting "catch and release"
angling, where the bass are returned to the water after
being hooked and retrieved.
