Cold Front Is Here - Fishing On Butler Chain (1/25/2007)
[Orlando,FL] Bass fishing, even with the cold front here, is still doing good on Butler Chain. This is the time of year to catch some serious bass on Butler, and as Rod knows, not having caught a 10 pound bass until yesterday, and having a shot at 3 of them in 2 days, this chain does hold some very good action, as he said that was exciting seeing her do all that as the big gal attacked his bait.
10 Pound Bass (1/23/2007)
[Orlando,FL] Bass on Butler Chain have gotten very active as of late with great catches. The highlite of the days was when Rod had tossed his bait out, and in a matter of minutes the fight was on, this bass hosed his bait and ran all over the place, almost getting hung in the big motor, then making a move and almost tagging the trolling motor before Rod got her under control, and catching his first ever 10 pound bass...

Butler Chain as of late has been fishing pretty good, on the water Saturday saw a lot of boats doing the old run and gun in search for bass, and plenty were caught. Everything from spinner baits to 10 inch worms caught some very good quality bass with just over 16 pounds taking the prize at the end of the day.
Schooling Bass Action In Johns Lake (1/05/2007)
[Orlando,FL] Schooling action is back on Johns Lake and good solid bass being caught. The past week I have had several days out on Johns Lake, some scouting trips and some with clients.

Blue Light Viper and Kicktail XL Lures Catching The Bass (12/04/2006)
[Orlando,FL] Schooling action on Johns Lake has been off and on, but the big gals are biting. We had a pretty good run out on Johns Lake Friday. Kevin from Ultimate Fishing Site came to fish Johns Lake and starting the day out was amazed at the schooling action he got to witness. Just as safe light cracked, the bass went to schooling in mass just about everywhere you looked in the Deer Island cut, catching quick bass with the lures he brought with him, the Bite Light Viper and the KickTail XL.
Swim Baits and Carolina Rigged Baits Worked Best (11/26/2006)
[Orlando,FL] Johns Lake water have cooled to mid 60's during the day and bass are starting to repond better. This past week has been a week of tough bass fishing. With the major cold snap taking its toll on the bite the first part of the week, and the high winds at mid week, fishing SLOW was key to catching bass. Schooling activity on Johns Lake was ok at best, with bass feeding up and disappearing just as fast as they surfaced.

Water temperature started out at a cool 72 degrees to start the day, and finished the day at 72. Finally cooler consistent water temps to help get the bass active and feeding up. This trip was part of a 10 boat deal and everyone had high hopes the winds would hold off till we were finished up.

[Orlando,FL] Butler Chain bassin action is picking up nicely with cooler water temps. Thursday we were out on Butler Chain with David for what turned out to be some tough fishing.
