Lake Seminole Picture Thread

For my birthday earlier in the month, I took a couple days off to visit lake Seminole and Ochessee pond in North Florida. Fishing was well worth the drive, nothing spectacular but several nice bass and all around a good experience. Here are a few pictures and videos.

Caught several fish in this small area, its really nothing more than a cut off pond with a small entrance amongst the reeds. I have video of leaving it below.

Any idea what this sucker is? Very territorial, there were several out there. My guess is a hawk but I dont know birds.

Yea those osprey would fly around your head if you got too close. A little more intimidating than even the several gators I saw. Saw some yesterday too at Millers Ferry.

bamabassman · 05-01-09, 08:04 PM

watch out for them man. if they think you are too close, they'll hit you in the head and i heard stories that they leave SCARS,lol. gators run away but osprey's will attack ya.

bcklash · 05-01-09, 08:07 PM

It looks like you had a good b-day trip. Cool vidos.

cassidyta · 05-01-09, 09:03 PM

Nice pics and videos. Osprey will also take fish from your line. The good news is that they grab the fish by the belly, so you have no real concerns of having to deal with one on your line. Every year we have reports of a float tuber getting his stringer of trout ambushed.
Glad you had fun.

MississippiBoy · 05-02-09, 12:21 AM

Good trip and some solid fish, WTL. I like the looks of that water.

Bassboss · 05-02-09, 07:31 AM

Nice bass wtl!!

Looks like a killer lake!

This week after my dad got off of work, he went fishing for a little bit at the local pond, on Friday he caught a nice 4lber, and hooked, but the line snapped on a 10lber!

Jumped a few times he said! All where on a rage tail anna!

we all went for a little while at dusk, went till night, I caught one little dink on my first cast, my dad caught 2 dinks. After that we went to gander for a little while!

Dern! My dads fire wall blocks the server!

you saw gators or osprey?

WTL · 05-08-09, 12:48 PM

Millers Ferry has plenty of gators, some quite large.

Bubba_Bruiser · 05-08-09, 02:04 PM

Happy belated birthday WTL! Looks like you got the present of the year and sounds like you had a good time.

Randy · 05-14-09, 02:57 PM

Ospreys are great fisherbirds...haha...The worst thing they will do to you is scare the crap out of you when they do a 90 mph nose dive right next to the boat .....Ofcourse its dead quiet and not a sound to be heard . Then they will come up with a nice bass that I have been fishing for all morning ....I fish Lake Tarpon and several more lakes in Central FL , I see them just about every time I go . Got to admit they are beautiful to watch.....keep on crankin- Randy
