Well we somehow made it to the end of 2020, and Lord willing it will end quickly and quietly. I think we would all like to return back to our normal lives in 2021 and never speak of this past year ever again. I’m not sure how many snowbirds will be returning, it sounds like we’ll be busy out at Camp Mack. The uncertainty of the Canadian border opening could really reduce our winter population.

 

As for the weather this month the Farmer’s Almanac is calling for a slightly cooler than normal December. It’s forecasting an “up & down” temperature swing from week to week so we’ll see how that plays out.

 

Starting out on the Kissimmee Chain fishing out of Camp Mack I’m expecting a very fun month with the cooler temps moving the bigger fish up onto the flats and closer to their spawning areas. With that being said still concentrate on areas that do have some deeper water or even a small ledge with eel grass or pads nearby for the fish to fall back to if a harsh cold spell hits. When the temps are stable I’m going to make sure to have some bigger topwater baits like Spooks and a Devil’s Horse to imitate the bigger wild shiners that a lot of these fish will be feeding up on. Make sure to have your Gambler EZ Swimmers, spinnerbaits, and swimjigs at the ready also. And never leave home without some black & blue senkos.

 

Over in Winter Haven on the South Chain we’ll be looking for fish moving up into the intermediate to shallow grass lines.  One of the bonuses to these smaller lakes is that it is easier to fish in higher winds and colder temps because many lakes sit down below the houses and hills.  Knowing where you can find the grass flats that extend from 3ft out to 14-15ft with deeper water nearby is key, especially if we get hit with a harsh quick cold front.  When the fish put the feedbag on you can throw pretty much anything you wish but always have the basics on hand to give yourself the best chance for success.  Jerkbaits, flukes, senkos, and Gambler Little EZ Swimmers are all mainstays in natural colors as many of these lakes are spring-fed with clear water and higher visibility.  Keeping an eye on your electronics is important when fishing here, not so much for marking fish as for finding bait.  You find the bait and the bass will be close by.
