B a Y a Re a B a S S Ma S Te The February 2012 Edition Rick Cortina and Judy Fairfield Swimbait Their Way Past The Field in The Allstate Lake June Challenge The predictions were for rain all morning and then the wind picking up out of the north by noon. They also predicted that the clear waters of June would give up the winning catch to the sight fishermen. They were all wrong. The rains never came, the wind started early and the winning catch came from California style swimbaits thrown around docks. Rick and Judy had found some docks with some deeper water in front of them and started their day with a giant swimbait. We are not talking a skinny dipper size bait, were talking a ten inch long, super size swimbait. Rick would throw this bait around the edges and in front of the docks and the bass would engulf it. His first bass of the day was his kicker. This 7.36 pound Lake June sow hit the bait and took off for deep water. After a hour long battle, or so it seemed, Judy expertly netted this beauty. After a few high fives, Rick went back to work. After a few more casts another fish nailed this huge bait and headed for Istokpoga. Once again Judy was there to save the day and put this monster in the boat with her expert netting skills. Then Judy’s rod got hot. She was throwing a senko style bait and felt a tick. She swung the rod and drove the hook in the jaw of a solid 3 pounder. Rick showed off his skills with a net and swung this fish in the boat. Once again Judy’s rod slammed another then another good fish. By 10:00 they had put almost twenty pounds of Lake June largemouth's in their livewells. And they had 5 hours to upgrade but never could find anymore help. But they ended up not needing it as their 19.54 limit took the Allstate, Lake June Challenge victory. Second place went to the team of Jeff Baker and Clay Garrett. They started their morning in the long canal headed to Lake Carrie. They had located one good fish on a bed in the canals and headed straight for her. She was sitting on about 3 feet of water and they worked her until she finally bit Clay’s craw. She would weigh 5.64 pounds. They had not located anymore good fish so they moved on down to Lake Carrie. There they worked the docks with junebug red worms to finish their 14.24 pound limit. Third place went to State Team Member Bob Grosso and almost as famous Logan Grosso. They also started in the same canal but they had a different strategy. They worked the sticks and cover on the banks in this long canal. Their bass fell to Waldo stickbaits as they pitched to the cover. As the sun came out they started sight fishing and found a nice bass sitting on a bed right behind a pontoon boat. I don’t know why but those pontoons are a bass magnets. Logan worked the bass for a few minutes before she engulfed his bait. Bob got her in the net and then into the livewell. She would weigh 7.84 pounds and be our lunker of the day as well as the year, so far. She anchored their 13.98 pound limit and earned them a third place check as well as big fish check. Overall 22 limits were brought to the scales for a total of 138 fish that weighted 233.46 pounds.

Thanks for being a part of the best bass club in Florida, Bay Area Bassmasters. I am sorry for the poor copy but this is the only way I could get it in the newsletter. It would not scan well. I will send a copy of the original with this newsletter. So open both attachments. You do not have to list your boat and motor. You can list any two of your sponsors you would like. Just be careful, if they are local companies that don’t have a digitized logo, an art work charge will be applied. If you can get a file that they can work with no additional charges will apply. I will probably have two made. One with Skeeter and Yamaha and the other with Power Pole and Mahoney’s.

From what was shared it sounded like the Chrome finishes worked the best during the day with Blue or Black backs. -Kicker Fish Bait Co. – There were a number of fish caught on the Kicker Fish Original Wacky Worm during the day. The use of light line and light wire hooks was the key on Lake June in that clear water. Color of choice seemed to be Watermelon Red. -Culprit – During a recent tournament on Lake Harris we had a couple of members submitting that they used the Fat Max worms through the Hydrilla and caught some really nice fish. -Paul Phaneuf and Allstate Insurance – There have been a few members speaking the praises of the assistance Paul has given them with Insurance coverage for not only their boats but also their cars and houses as well.

Home to more than 1,000 freshwater lakes and rivers, there is no doubt how this natural wonderland received its moniker. Other Lake County superlatives include the ridges of peaks and valleys unseen in any other area of Florida and endless acres of preserves to include access to three state parks, one state forest, one national wildlife refuge and one national forest. Lake County Vacation Guide - 3 Long & Scott Farms produces Zellwood Sweet Corn, pickle cucumbers, red & green cabbage and other produce. In addition, the farm features a country market, seasonal corn mazes, hayrides and farm tours (352-383-6900). With this variety of open spaces and crisp, clear waterways popular activities include...just about anything imaginable. From the traditional activities of hiking, fishing, golfing and horseback riding to the more “extreme” adventures of wakeboarding, hang gliding, off-road motorcycling and kayaking, Lake County is a one-stop vacation for outdoor enthusiasts.

  • Historical Resources
    Application for Corridor Extension Historical Resources Historical Resources Although the Green Mountain Scenic Byway CME considers the proposed corridor eligible for designation on the strength of its recreational and natural resources, the corridor extension could be designated on the strength of its historical resources. The City of Mount Dora has created a Historic Preservation Review Area which is located within a larger National Register of Historic Places District. The entire Review Area is included within the proposed corridor extension. The extension connects the historic downtown of Winter Garden with the historic downtown of Mount Dora. Narrative The colonization of Florida by the Spanish proved disastrous to the Native Americans. Waves of epidemics of infectious diseases introduced from Europe crashed upon the Native Americans. Between 1565, the year that the Spanish founded St. Augustine, and 1595, when serious Catholic missionary attempts began, it is estimated that the Timucua speaking population had plummeted from about 150,000 to about 50,000. To add to the devastation of disease, savage raids by Creek and Yamasee Indians, often supported by Carolina colonists, further reduced the population. By 1700, the Timucua had been reduced to about 1,000 people. The remaining Timucua attempted to seek refuge from the raids at St. Augustine, but by 1753 only 136 Timucua remained. When the British took Florida from Spain in 1763, the few that were left were expelled from the St. Augustine area. A pitifully few Timucua moved south and tried to settle on the Tomoka River. It is possible that their descendants eventually joined the Seminoles. The Seminoles were originally part of the Creek Confederacy.

    Application for Corridor Extension Corridor Impressions Survey Intrinsic Resource Assessment Corridor Impressions Survey Maps were produced that divided the proposed corridor extension into easily recognizable segments. The maps corresponded with modified Corridor Impressions Survey forms. Impressions were then compiled into the following tables. A (+) sign means that the surveyor is recording a positive impression, while a (-) sign indicates a negative impression. (L) and (R) indicate left and right sides of the roadway, heading north from the existing Byway Terminus at the intersection of Lake County Roads 455 and 561.

  • Your Guide to Eating Fish Caught in Florida
    Fish Consumption Advisories are published periodically by the Your Guide State of Florida to alert consumers about the possibility of chemically contaminated fish in Florida waters. To Eating The advisories are meant to inform the public of potential health risks of specific fish species from specific Fish Caught water bodies. In Florida Florida Department of Health Prepared in cooperation with the Florida Department of Environmental Protection and Agriculture and Consumer Services, and the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission 2016 Florida Fish Advisories • Table 1: Eating Guidelines for Fresh Water Fish from Florida Waters page 1-33 • Table 2: Eating Guidelines for Marine and Estuarine Fish from Florida Waters page 34-35 • Table 3: Eating Guidelines for species from Florida Waters with Heavy Metals, Dioxin, Pesticides, Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), or Saxitoxin Contamination page 36 Eating Fish is an important part of a healthy diet. Rich in vitamins and low in fat, fish contains protein we need for strong bodies. It is also an excellent source of nutrition for proper growth and development. In fact, the American Heart Association recommends that you eat two meals of fish or seafood every week. At the same time, most Florida seafood has low to medium levels of mercury. Depending on the age of the fish, the type of fish, and the condition of the water the fish lives in, the levels of mercury found in fish are different. While mercury in rivers, creeks, ponds, and lakes can build up in some fish to levels that can be harmful, most fish caught in Florida can be eaten without harm.
