Seminole Ramlin's

July 23, 2006

Bass Fishen on Lake Seminole is about as dead as my brain. That is pretty dead. At the B.A.S.S. Afilieated Team Trail out of the State Park, Tony Bigot placed 1st with 8.98, Richard Predmore was second with 8.89 and Predmore had Big Fish with a 6.37.

The Tallahassee Bass Club fished out of Wingate’s on Saterday. Fred Jones won it with 7 lbs, Dallas Johnson placed 3rd with one 2 lbs fish. Dallas took that fish 5 miles above Lake Decatur 1 hour before quitting time. Talk about slow!!!

We have been having limit catches of Perch coming in on Jigs all week long. I cain’t for the life of me figure the one out. Perch in the hot summer on Jigs?

We had a preacher man catch a load of Bream at hi-noon 186 to be exact. We had a 48 quart cooler of Bream and Shellcrackers mixed. 110 Bream and Crackers mixed along with 12 good Catfish on worms.

With new lectronics on his boat, a local hit the Lake with Jigin Spoons with great success. One 12 lbs. Channell, one 6 lbs. Flathead, 5 Hybreds, 1 Striper and a good size Perch.

In my younger days, 65 years ago, “Dog Days” was a terrible time for youngens. Mad dogs, ground itch, sour eyes and other strange things happened to “chillin.” July 28 to 8 September when the Dog Star shines.

The Rose City Bass Club fished out of Wingates on Sunday with Donald Culverson and Frankie Loroie winning first with 10.12 lbs. and the Big Fish with a 3.14 lbs. James Grey came in 2nd.

The picture is of Frankie Loroie holding two of the big bass that won the Rose City Bass Clubs tournament for him and Donald Culverson.
