Whether you’re ready for a summer vacation, a long weekend or just a day that includes some great June bass fishing, Lake Seminole should be one of your preferred destinations.

Randy Howell, of Springville, Ala., posted the biggest final-day comeback in Bassmaster Classic history on Feb. 23 as he won by just one pound over Bass Federation angler Paul Mueller.
