Lakes Summit, Eloise and Winterset

July 28, 2024

There is some great fishing going on over on the South Chain.  The water temperature is 88 degrees, and the fish are in deep water.  All the fish I’m catching are in 18-22 feet of water.  Find the deep grass and fish the outside edges.

  • The artificial lures to use are:

          Sinkos, rigged Texas style

          Gambler worms, 8” ribbon tail

          Worms rigged Carolina style

          ¾ oz. Rattle Traps

Some big swim baits are good as well.

  • Live Bait – medium shiners, the wild shiners are the best, about 5-7” long.

Rig the shiners on a Carolina rig, use small 1/8” sinker to get the shiner down to the bottom.

Slow trolling the shiners on the grass line works best at this time of year.

Fishing slow and deep gets you some big bass in the hot weather.

There is great fishing on the Winter Haven Chain of Lakes.
