With weeds like that, try a weightless trick worm. (most weedless lure)+1 trick or finese no weight.

| the tourney is sat aug 23rd ive tried the trick worm with no success! we caught a few on sunday but still no pattern. you cant throw a trick worm very far without going down in line size, if you do that and get one in the weeds then "snap". but i hope the storm doesnt hit us this weekend but if it does then i wont fish again until jan sometime when i get back from "over there" wish us luck

| Hi all, I am new to this forum but wanted to reply to this thread. I want to save you guys a lot of trouble trying to figure out the bass fishing in Juniper Lake. I have lived on the water there for years and know that lake better then the back of my hand. Walton county that own's the lake, let the state game and fish talk the county into draining the lake (AGAIN) to kill the grass. They started this draw down in the winter of 06. They drained it as far down till no water would run out the pipe (dry) at the spill way. The lake was drained all winter and all summer of 07. The heat of the summer with all that grass and no deep water for the big bass to get in was just to much for them to live (again). The gators had a field day all summer feeding on dead fish. The average water depth was around 3 feet in small spots. The county closed the gate and starting filling the lake back up in late winter of 07. Late spring of 08 the rain we had put the lake back up pretty quickly but what few fish that lived aren't very many. This is the second time the state has drained this lake in the last 10 years and it was just getting back to good fishing when they done it again. Once it gets filled with water, the state walks away and won't restock it. The lake will have to rebound on it's own again, which will take years to build stock up again. I hope this will help in the reason that 19 people fished it and only one caught, They just aren't there in any numbers anymore. Bowfin

| How'd the tourney go today? I went out on the East River near Navarre and got 2 dinks. The rain and wind wasn't too bad here and it looks like ol' fay decided to move to the north. Where you stationed? I'm at Hurlburt Field. Good luck on your "vacation".
I used to think I knew how to catch those bucket heads.........then I moved to Florida.
