Weather Outlook & Fishing Impact

The weather forecast for today, September 13th, calls for light rain. We’re expecting about 2.16mm of rain (that’s roughly 0.085 inches) with winds around 3.69 meters/second (about 8.25 mph) out of the North. Temperatures are expected to be around 27.83°C (82°F) during the day, with a low of 24.42°C (76°F) at night.

How This Affects the Fish:

• Bass Fishing: With the lake level lower than usual, bass are likely to be concentrated in areas with remaining vegetation and structure. The light rain might encourage some activity, especially in the early morning and late afternoon. Focus on areas near Kissimmee River and the shoals. Use topwater lures early and switch to soft plastics as the day progresses.
• Crappie Fishing: Crappie will be holding tight to submerged structure. With the rain, they might move a bit shallower. Minnows and jigs around bridge pilings and submerged trees are your best bet.
• Bluegill and Shellcracker: These panfish will be active in the shallows, especially around lily pads and grass lines. Crickets and worms are always a good choice.
