Florida Bass Fishing Report June 2021 Camp Mack Lake Kissimmee Winter Haven
Well it’s now June and the kids are out of school, families are on vacation down here in Central Florida and this is one of the best times of the year to enjoy our World-Class Bass Fishing. This is a great time to get the kids out for a morning on the lake and still back at the hotel or condo in time to go hit the beaches or theme parks.
When we are fishing out of Camp Mack, A Guy Harvey Lodge, Marina & RV Resort on Lake Kissimmee and the Kissimmee Chain of Lakes we’re all about that morning bite. There is nothing better than idling out of the old river channel at Mack out to the canal and hitting the throttle running the river while the sun is still just behind the trees, then sitting down to idle and sneak up on our first fish. No matter how many times I make that run and those turns off the points, I always expect to see Chief Osceola sitting on a stump as we pass by....
Out here we normally start the day with a couple of options. I love having a “bigger” 5”-7” topwater plug in gold for when the bass are busting shiners. When they are feeding off of a shad spawn then I prefer a smaller white bait, but that’s just me. We’ll always have swimbaits in a variety of sizes from 4” white or gold, to the trusty Gambler EZ Swimmer. Out here, I will always have white or shad flukes tied-on, along with a black & blue senko, NEVER leave home without one when fishing on this chain. The frog bite along with the EZ Swimmer should be rolling for those that want to fish up in the jungle.
In Winter Haven on the South Chain of Lakes it we will be having so much fun catching fish on both artificial and live baits. We fish out of a 23’ bay boat which gives us the ability to troll shiners giving them “swimming lessons” over the deeper grass lines while people who wish to fish artificial baits are able to do so at the bow of the boat. Our MinnKota iPilot allows us to do that with guests.
Our favorite baits this time of year include topwaters, flukes, swimjigs & swimbaits, plus you have to throw a crankbait around the grasslines and through the big schools of bait that are all over the lakes. Because we fish the spring fed lakes primarily we use natural color baits in the watermelon reds, pearls, a “good” green pumpkin blue combo, or your favorite, they all work very well.
