I will be fishing lake Seminole on the weekend of Oct 4th and 5th.  I have been to Lake Seminole several times but this is one place that I really struggle at.  I was wanting to know what should I look for and target to have 2 good days of fishing on Seminole?

Hi!

I haven't been out there this summer. I'm sure I will be going very soon though as the fall bite is insane there.

I'm sure you know that flipping and frogging the mats is money right now. ...and should still be in a few weeks . Think small. They are highly pressured.

However, if the water temp drops, bring your favorite lipless cranks! The trap bite on Seminole is something I wait all year for! Good stuff!

Squarebills on the mat edges produce too! Speed worms over the grass flats, spinnerbaits .... just about anything will be good in a few weeks/ month if we can get some cooler weather.

If not. ... grinding it out on the mats is the only answer. ...and that can be tough but rewarding! C-rigs and jigs on offshore humps can work too if you can find some without thick grass on them.

Good luck!

Feel free to give a full report when you're done!

Thanks for all the good info!  This really helps a lot and fishing squarebills around the matts would of never crossed my mind!
