The fishery

Lake Seminole is a shallow 37,500-acre USACE reservoir impounded by Jim Woodruff Lock and Dam at the confluence of the Chattahoochee and Flint Rivers, which flow out as the Apalachicola. Three distinct arms shape the fishery: the Chattahoochee arm on the west runs the dirtiest, the Flint arm to the northeast is clearer, and spring-fed Spring Creek down the middle stays clean and cool year-round, making it the premier bass zone. The lake is famous for its vast hydrilla and eelgrass flats plus expansive standing timber and submerged stumps, with an average depth near 10 feet and old river channels dropping to 30-35 feet. In prespawn and spawn (Feb-Apr) largemouth push onto hard-bottom flats and eelgrass edges; in summer they hold on deeper hydrilla humps, creek-channel ledges and standing timber; fall brings a shad-driven grass-flat bite on ChatterBaits and topwater over the vegetation.
