Small poppers and surface lures with rear propellers are among his favorites. Because of its location in the Deep South, summer fishing takes place very early in the morning until perhaps 9 a.m., then stops until 4 or 5 p.m. and continues until dark. Because of the widespread stumps, little night fishing is done on Seminole. There is also some summer fishing here for both striped and hybrid striped bass. The fish are occasionally taken on topwater lures, but at this time of year, the fish are located more often in some of Seminole's deeper springs where the water is cooler.
Maps pinpoint their exact location, and jigging spoons are the most effective lures.
In the autumn after the water begins to cool, schooling bass action begins, and one of the best areas for this is in the open water near the junction of the Chattahoochee and Flint Rivers. One moment the water may be absolutely calm, the next moment it will turn into a wild frenzy of boiling fish, including not only largemouths but also white bass, striped bass, and even hybrid stripers. At other times of the year, bass fishing centers around either shoreline cover or scattered vegetation around the islands. In many areas, along the Flint River particularly, the shoreline is littered with blown-down trees and other debris where the bass regularly hit spinnerbaits, buzzbaits, and small crankbaits. Around the grassbeds and islands near the mouth of Fish Pond Drain, Carolina-rigged plastic worms and lizards often produce well, while in the more open water spinnerbaits can be used.
