Lk Kissimmee Sunday July 7th

[fishin813]

Lake Kissimmee Sunday morning, with winds
comming out of ESE right up length of Lake,(34,850 acres of water)
(8am -5mph gusting to 9mph)
(9am - 8 mph gusting to 13 mph)
(10am - 9 mph gusting to 17)
and then things kinda went down hill from
there. First time can remember long-lining
and having waves wash over transom moving with the wind. White capping, 3 -4 ft swells. Fish really scattered
on flats in 8 - 9ft water - 16th oz curly tail jigs
orange head - black bodies - chart or fire tail tails....
Kept 7 to weigh in with, threw back 18, 10" and under

6 lbs. 15.5 oz... very interesting day to
say the least

She is a big one....excellant fishery as well as wildlife refuge
Don't leave dock without a GPS...especially at night or its going to be dark
by time you return.

Happy hour (1 hr before sunset or 1 hr prior to sunrise are two best times to fish
for Ole Mr. Crappie, when he is moving into or out of the "Grass")

Nice catch & report. Wind & that lake certainly don't mix, launched at overstreet landing last year to fish north cove when a late morning 2 ft chop came up so went in pig trail to fish a while, then left about noon & decided to hug the shoreline on lemon point side til' turning that corner around the point & swore I entered a twilight-zone & was on the ocean seamed like 6-7 ft waves. Tucked my tail between my legs & doubled-back pig trail hugging the strum island shoreline side, believe it's a reason I can post today, respect those waters!!
