With
the Suwannee River at an all time record low, the fish seemed
to have one on strike! It has taken very little weight to
win the many of the local bass tournaments and to say the
least, bass fishing is extremely tough right now. Obviously,
with the extremely hot temperatures and low water levels
early in the morning and late in the evening are your best
chances of fooling a quality size fish. Topwater baits like
a #13S Rapala or a buzzbait are good choices. During the
heat of the day concentrate on deep water structure like
rock or wood and fish SLOW, using a soft plastic lizard or
worm. Choose natural colors as the water is extremely clear.
Best bets would be to fish the southern area of the Suwannee
from Old Town down to the mouth to take advantage of the
tidal fluctuations. Be very cautious of the leaping sturgeon
and also the pleaure boaters. Let's hope we get some much
needed rain very soon.
