It was proven many decades ago that moon phases can have a dramatic influence on saltwater fishing. The full moon and the new moon bring abnormally high tides. Fish on spawning migrations seem to expect these tides, waiting near estuaries for them so they can pass over tidewater obstructions that are otherwise insurmountable.
Fish see lures and baits easier during the full moon, and baitfish seem to travel more actively then. All this means that extra-good saltwater fishing can be expected during the high halves of tides when the moon is full and when the moon shows a thin crescent. There are no tides in our freshwater bream lakes, however. So the effects of the moon must have their basis in a differing set of physical factors, if indeed there is any effect at all.
But thousands of ardent bream anglers will tell you otherwise. I suggest you find out for yourself. The full moon will be on June 20 this year. The crescent of the new moon will appear June 5. Go fishing then, and fish some other days outside these periods as well.
When all is said and done, compare the results. The Apalachicola is still a monster Flathead Catfish destination for anglers, as well as, an assortment of fresh and saltwater species. This shallow lake is designated as a fish management area FMA and is located roughly 20 miles southeast of Gainesville. Heagy-Burry also has a fishing pier. The large open water area is surrounded by shallow, heavily vegetated areas and extensive marsh.
Diverse habitat is abundant and this fishery is presently thriving. Periodic drought and subsequent refilling at Orange Lake can ultimately result in tremendous growth in both numbers and size of fish in the lake. For example, one bass collected in March of weighed 9. If stable water levels persist on the lake, the habitat and fishing should be even better this year. Bass anglers on Orange typically do well flipping soft plastics in and around emergent pads and floating vegetation mats, especially during the springtime spawn.
Anglers should also target submerged vegetation such as coontail and hydrilla beds with spinnerbaits, lipless crankbaits, soft plastics, and topwater lures.
Most of the anglers are fishing in the northern and southern ends of the lake with a lot of folks using minnows and grass shrimp as bait. While fishing at Orange Lake, you may have the opportunity to participate in the management process.
Creel surveys take place on random days throughout the entire spring on Orange Lake to collect information on the fishery and ask anglers their opinions about management.
Lower Suwannee River Columbia, Hamilton, Madison, Lafayette, Gilchrist, Alachua, Suwannee, Levy and Dixie counties The lower Suwannee River not only provides good fishing for several panfish species throughout the year, but some of the best fishing can be had during the coldest part of winter. Stumpknockers are the target species during this time, and it is not uncommon to catch some of the largest stumpknockers in the state!
The best action can be found by fishing the outer bends of creeks with undercut banks look for trees leaning out over the creek during a falling or low tide. The low water can corral fish into deeper holes making some excellent fishing.
Use beetle spins or small jigs tipped with little pieces of shrimp. Use ultra-light spinning gear to cast right up against the bank and let it sink to the bottom before retrieving. During cold spells, spring entrances will be the warmest spots in the river and will attract fish as well.
Other than the houses in the town of Suwannee, you will not see any signs of human development unless you run up the river to the town of Fowlers Bluff. The best place to access the lower Suwannee River is from the town of Suwannee. Bait shrimp and other supplies can be found at the marinas and fish camps in town. If you are coming from the east side of the river, you might want to consider launching at the free public ramp in Fowlers Bluff and running down the river to save on drive time to the ramp.
There is abundant vegetation, consisting of coontail, eelgrass, Illinois pondweed, hydrilla, fragrant water lily, and cattails.
The bass population has rebounded significantly since Hurricane Irma in During Season 8 of TrophyCatch, there were 17 approved submissions, more than quadruple the number of submissions from There were also several bass tournaments in with winning weights over 30 pounds.
The northern end of the lake is popular with bass anglers. With the abundant vegetation, the best lures are soft jerkbaits, topwater baits, and vibrating jigs.
The main panfish caught are bluegill, redear sunfish, and spotted sunfish providing variety in high numbers. The angler catch rate from the creel survey for bluegill was calculated at 1. Look for bedding areas in late spring into the summer for large redear sunfish. It is managed as a quality largemouth bass and crappie fishery, but also boasts a good bluegill fishery. When the park was built there was a deed restriction that did not allow for a public boat ramp, therefore, a partnership between the city of Orlando, Bass Pro Shops, and FWC was established to provide a boat loaner program.
Four aluminum boats are rented through the city of Orlando for four hours, Thursday through Sunday. While bank fishing has unlimited hours, boat fishing hours are restricted to limit effort and maintain a quality fishery. Analysis of the angler creel survey from indicated that the bass catch rate was 0.

A simple cane pole equipped with a ready-rig is about as entry-level as it comes. Most of us are somewhere in the middle of these two extremes, but we long to be out there sniffing out bream beds.
In Mississippi, June is a good month to be there whether it be with a fly rod, ultra-light spinning gear, or a simple pole made of cane, graphite or fiberglass and a box of crickets. Tyler Stubbs, northeast region fisheries biologist with the Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries and Parks, says there are many factors that determine when bream bed. Depending on the system, flow may be a factor.
Depending on the year, most of the time it ends up being mid to late April when anglers first start to see bream move to the beds. A water temperature of around 65 degrees is necessary. Bluegill will spawn multiple times throughout the summer and sometimes into the early fall.
This is the case when the water conditions are favorable, with good oxygen, available food and ample cover. For the most part, look for bream beds in calmer, more protected areas of the lake.
Redear, also called shellcrackers or chinquapins, will bed on the same sand and gravel beds used by bluegill. The full moon has long been associated with bedding bream.
Europeans have dubbed it the rose moon, while other cultures named it the hot moon for the beginning of the summer heat.
