Orlando Fishing Report 8/28/08
Tropical Storm Fay caused destruction all over Florida, and my heart goes out to those whose lives have been lost and changed forever because of the storm. It almost seem impossible that something good came from this storm, but as an angler the storm has significantly helped. John's Lake is the lake I fish the most and this past Sunday was the first time since the storm, that I was out fishing. The water level was almost back to its normal level, and fished like a brand new lake. Fish were shallow and I could reach areas again that I haven't been able to in almost two years. Water run offs into the lake caused the lake to have current, something I haven't seen in years. That current attracted fish all week long and with continued afternoon thunderstorms that current will continue for days to come. Shallow crank baits seem to be producing the most bites, followed by dark colored jigs. Jigs have been very successful around the docks. With the water levels being up and the fall quickly approaching, I see the bite only getting better, so now would be a great time to book a trip with any guide in Florida.
