Lake Seminole is one of the most diverse fisheries on the Elite Schedule, offering anglers a mix of deepwater, open-water stump fields, river systems, and shallow, grassy areas. There are three primary areas of concentration at Lake Seminole.  Anglers will launch out of the boat basin in Bainbridge on the Flint River, which feeds Lake Seminole from the north.  Many pros will make a longer run down the Flint to the, main lake, Chattahoochee or Spring Creek areas.

 

With warmer weather on the horizon and spring right around the corner. The spawn may be a factor, so expect shallow water and pre-spawn staging areas to play a part in the strategy of most of the field.    Sight fishing could play a considerable role for anglers that can find fish on beds.
