Dysons reel in big catch on Orange Lake

Saturday, April 11th, 2009

By Gary Simpson

Published: Thursday, April 9, 2009 at 6:01 a.m.

Allen and Billy Dyson are no strangers to Florida bass fishing, especially on Orange and Lochloosa lakes. The Hawthorne brothers have been casting for bigmouths in their home lakes since the 1960s when they were youngsters.

Since those days, the Dysons have caught lots of big fish and have a long list of amazing angling stories to tell. The most recent, however, will go straight to the top of the list.

Casting an old favorite bass plug on Orange Lake on Saturday morning, Allen had a huge swirl. As he called to Billy to cast to the spot, the fish struck again, this time, nailing the silver Devil’s Horse topwater lure.

“I thought it might be a big mudfish or even a gator,” Allen recounted. “But I knew it was big.”

He battled the big fish until it ran into a bed of hydrilla. When he worked the behemoth out of the grass, Billy was ready with the landing net. As Billy swung the full and writhing net aboard, the brothers were momentarily stunned. “We both said, ‘My God, what a fish.’”

Allen phoned his wife, Ginny, and son, Jeffrey, and they drove to the boat ramp at Heagy-Burry Park with camera and two hand-held digital scales.

On the scale made by Berkley, the monster weighed 13 pounds, 7 ounces. The Rapala digital showed 13-08.

After a thorough photographic chronicling, the Dysons took the brute back to the spot where she had struck, and released her in excellent condition.

Allen Dyson’s biggest bass up until last weekend had been 10-03, and now it will be nearly impossible to ever better his top fish. He doesn’t seem too upset about that.

At 13½ pounds, the bass ranks as one of the largest pulled from an Alachua County Lake in decades and should easily rank among the largest fish taken in all of Florida for 2009.

New Boat Ramp Opens on Lake Hatchineha

Thursday, February 19th, 2009

hatchineha_ramp

A new boat ramp just reopened to the public on Lake Hatchineha. From the looks of things they’re still doing some renovations but it’s always nice to have another ramp. There’s plenty of parking and you don’t have to drive down a dirt road meaning you don’t have to clean off all the dirt on your boat when you get home.

I had to check it out today and fished Hatchineha. Much to my surprise, I didn’t catch a single fish out of the reeds. Instead, I caught about a dozen fish doing everything under the sun. The fish were definitely biting, but nothing over 2.5 pounds. I caught my first and biggest fish about 30 minutes into the day flippin in Kissimmee grass with a junebug silver Gitem Sugar. I’ve been flippin a lot lately so I broke out a green pumpkin chatterbait with a swim senko trailer and caught a bunch swimming it next to pads. I then checked out the inside of the weed line and caught 3 fish on a frog.

All in all, I like having the new ramp and will keep it in the rotation. It’s free and open all day every day. What more could you ask for?

Central Florida Lakes with Several Bass from 7 to 10 lbs.

Friday, July 4th, 2008

Lake Toho and other Central Florida lakes have had there hot moments with bass up to 10 1/2 pounds over the past couple of weeks after a spotty stretch in May and early June.

Try Lake Toho, Lake Kissimmee and Cypress Lake for quality largemouth bass. Morning bite, useing plastic toads near reeds and hydrilla at first light. Zara Spook topwater lures will also produce big strikes. Switch to spinnerbaits with wind and plastic worms at mid-morning. The bite has been off in the heat of the day but picks back up in the afternoon and through the first few hours of darkness if you are interested in night fishing. Switching back to plastic toads and topwaters during this time will create more bites. . . . Use crickets, redworms and small poppers for bluegills, shellcrackers and bream.

Tournament fishermen and our guides are targeting pockets of clean water with fresh green hydrilla in the open water. There are massive spraying operation all over the lake, so stay away from the killed or freshly sprayed hydrilla. This pattern has lead to boating a large number of bass and several trophy bass 7 to 10 pounds. The bigger fish seem to be stacking up when you find the hydrilla clump there living in.  When fishing these clumps, searching with plastic worms seem to be the hot thing. The bigger the better, a 10″ or even 12″ worn seems to be the hot ticket in dark colors, like black and junebug.

Other variety affective techniques in the hydrilla include – lipless crankbaits, Horny Toads and topwater plugs. Some other bass are coming off of casting swim-baits. Seem the average bass is larger on swimbaits, but at times so are the strikes.

If I had to guess I would say, that the fresh green hydrilla is holding 50 percent of the fish in most of the Central Florida lakes right now.

If you are interested in learning some of these techniques or going out with some of our fishing guides that are catching all of these big Florida bass, give us a call 888 629-BASS.
