Mid September 2011
I'm sorry that I haven't posted a new fishing report lately. This is our slower (business wise) time of the year, and I have been doing some traveling to New York to fish in a salmon tournament with my son Bob, and out to California to see my other son Craig and my grandkids. It's not that I haven't fished, just haven't been that much, and haven't taken the time to post new reports. So here's the latest.
The lake has come up some, not enough that you can run anywhere you want, but much better than it was. The level this morning is at 10.79. By being careful, you can get to more areas than earlier. The water temperature is still in the mid to high 80's depending on the wind and the time of the day. The east wall, and the west wall are holding some nice fish. The main channel out of Clewiston is also still holding good numbers of fish.
The bite has been changing almost everyday. Some days it's all top water, poppers, & chug-bugs. Other days they want worms. Even the colors have been changing, junebug on some days, the watermelon on other days. I have been in the dynamite holes, but haven't done all that well, there has been a lot of pressure in those places, with the lower water, guys have been fishing them hard.
It is still an early bite, on most days, it really slows down after 9 to 9:30, you can still catch some fish, but its better earlier. Also need to keep an eye out for the always present thunderstorms.
I haven't heard much about any brim, but have seen a few folks fishing them.
