Florida Bass Fishing Report & Forecast September 2020 Camp Mack Lake Kissimmee Winter Haven LEGOLAND Orlando Disney
Normally it’s rather easy to sit down and hammer out an article or fishing report but I was honestly having a tough time getting that first line down. So I took an old school writers lesson I was taught many moons ago - later made famous in Finding Forrester - and took a look at older articles and just started writing. As it turns out, we have about the same conditions here in Central Florida as from a few years back.
To start with let’s head out of Camp Mack, a Guy Harvey Lodge, Marina & RV Resort on the Kissimmee River. The quick version is the fishing has been very good for it being this dang hot! The full situation is we have been catching a good number of fish - and with quality big fish mixed in - in nearly every trip out and I fully expect that to continue. We’ve had heavy rains this summer in July and thru August and that has made the state keep the locks moving water through the system which can get the fish going on crazy feeding frenzies. I’ve focused all of our trips on finding moving water, if it’s still we just do not get the same big bites. But, when the water is moving across a grass flat or shell bed and you see birds hunting, you know the shiners, shad, flies, and other bait are there and I will promise you this: the bass are going to be nearby ready to join that party with the all you can eat buffet. Throwing topwaters, rattle traps, spinnerbaits, etc, in the mornings will continue to be highly effective. Once the sun is up high and the bite slows, pitch grass lines, pads, reed heads and just grind it out.
For those that are fishing in Winter Haven, the South Chain and other lakes, this has been an off-summer. We’re used to big schools of bass chasing bait all over the lakes in deep water this time of year and it’s been scattered at best. The best baits have still been pop-r’s, smaller swimbaits, jerkbaits, and flukes. We’re catching good fish but I guess I’m just used to more surface activity this time of year here. The oddest part is the bite has been best mid to late mornings which just doesn’t add up to me, but I always have to real myself back in and remember we’re chasing a fish that doesn’t reason, it reacts however it wants.
