Based on the summer fishing and the rainfall of this year we are
expecting a very good 2008-2009 season. Rainfall has been at the
level that spillway openings have been required to facilitate the
movement of water northward through the St Johns tributaries.
Several trips this month have been very productive in numbers
and have produces several bass in the 7 - 10 pound range. The predominate
producer has been plastics both presented T-rigged, and Carolina
rigged. The spillway in the southeast of the Farm has produced
well for a multitude of baits that include: rattle traps, hard
jerk baits, jigs, T-rigged plastics, and Carolina rigs. They have
been both inside and outside of the cable. Prior to the spillway
being open we had a period where on of the pipes had been open
and west side of the current was very productive with the application
of the Carolina rig.
In other areas of the lake we have found the Farm side to be most
productive along the submerged irrigation ditches. In particular,
the intersection of these ditches have been better than along the
run of the ditches. Throughout July a lot of fish were found in
the SW area of the Marsh, but that group of fish seems to have
moved off, and it is my thought that they headed south into the
Farm and settled in the ditches.
Weather over the period has been good with most days allowing
for a full day of fishing. Thunder storms have come in the afternoon
and most of them have been pretty nasty. Don't wait until your
caught out there in one of these storms as this lake gets pretty
raunchy in a big hurry. Temperatures have been in the 80's which
calls for the drinking of plenty of fluids and the application
of plenty of sun protection. Don't forget the sun glasses as the
glare on the water from the sun can be very damaging.
See you out there. Say hi if you get the chance.
Annual Season Pre-sale:
Each year I offer a pre-season sale for the upcoming year.
The spaces allocated to this sale go quickly so if you are coming
in the 2008-2009 (October 2008 – June 2009) you want to
get in on this deal.
The way it works is quite simple. Book your trip within
the next 30 days pre-paid and save $75.00 per day on your trip.
It is not required that you pick the exact days at the time of
booking as you have until October 1, to make that decision. Obviously
I will cooperate on date changes if available. The booking rate
for this deal is $300 per day.
Effective as of July 2008, I have no alternative
but to raise my rates by $25.00. All rates will be adjusted,
however I am lowering the rate for the 3rd person to $50.00,
which in effect keeps a 3-person trip to the same rate as previous
years.
Hoping to hear from you soon.
PS: No service fee applied to sale rate credit card charges.
No cancellation on sales trips - we will reschedule to your convenience.
