All of our reports are legitimate and are what you can generally expect, but it is fishing and Mother Nature can sometimes have her way.  We will not lie and boost our numbers or weights in our reports to gain your business like some.  

Lake Tohopekaliga:  After the cold front we had a couple of weeks ago, the fishing has slowed on the lake.  I haven't fished it since the cold front, but the guides I have talked to haven't come back with good reports.  Not saying that the artificial bite is bad, but the guides who are using shiners aren't doing all that great.  This is the time of the year though when the artificial bite picks up and the shiner bite slows.  I will write a new report if things change this week.

Butler Chain:   Butler has been the Chain for both decent numbers and good size.  Last week Dave Phillipy from PA caught a 10lb 4oz bass on a Zoom Super Fluke (Watermelon Candy) as well as a 6lb 15oz on the same bait.  Watch an unbelievable catch on 8lb test.  The fish had spawned out and had absolutely nothing in its stomach.  Pre-spawn the bass could have easily been 12 plus pounds.  Great fish!  We have been catching some really nice fish on both artificials and shiners with the majority of the bigger fish coming on shiners.  Most of the bass though have been coming on Zoom Super Flukes. 

Conway:   Fishing has been on fire the past couple of weeks.  We are catching high numbers of fish in the 40's to 50's on a 6 hour to 8 hour trip with most coming on Zoom Super Flukes.  Shiners are also producing a lot of action, but on the nice days the flukes are the killer.  The only bad part is they are almost all small.  However, we did catch an 8lb even on the digital on the 12th of this month.  This is the best choice on a trip with kids.

Rodman:  The drawdown is over.  It was a disappointing drawdown year this year.  Not a lot of big fish caught up there.  Caught some really good fish with a few over 8 lbs, but nothing really consistent.  Hopefully the next will be better.

Lake Kissimmee:  No Report

Walk-In-Water:   No Report
