There have been reports of suspended fish being caught in 15- 20 feet of water in deeper areas of the lake. Look for Crappie along the creek and river ledges. A red wiggler fished under a cork is probably the most effective technique for catching bedded redear on Lake Seminole. Spotting patches of light-colored sand among the vegetation is a good sign of bedding activity. Look for bream beds in less than 4 feet of water. The redear have been spawning and there have been several reports of good catches.

The crappie have begun to move deeper and can be caught with live minnows along the creek channels and deeper flats. The bream are also bedding and good catches of redear and bluegill have been reported. The catfish fishing has begun to heat up as well and anglers using noodles have been having good success. Some bass are beginning to transition out of inshore areas to deeper water. Largemouth bass fishing is currently good. Bass fishing is currently good, and they can be caught using soft plastics, spinner baits, and top water frogs. The bream are bedding, so if you find one expect to catch more in the same area. Try fishing around shoreline vegetation and cypress trees. The preferred baits are crickets, pond worms, and red wigglers. Excellent catches of both bluegill and shell cracker are common. The big news on Lake Blackshear is the bream fishing.
