I fished the Harris Chain for about a week for a tournament. Full disclosure, finished middle of the pack for the derb. Ended up being a tough weekend overall. But I caught every one of my fish on a Z-Man Chatter Elite. I couldn’t get bites on a Jackhammer for some reason, thought it might be due to the gold blade but hard to say. Went with the Elite, changed the skirt to something more gold & white, and with the Berkley PowerStinger in Sun Gill and the fish were chewing it. Got plenty of bites, just couldn’t find the size i needed for the derb.

On this day we fished the GeorgeFest Derb outta the north end of Lake Eustis... 19.6 pounds for 4th Place, $1,000 We ran from Eustis immediately to Lake Griffin and spent the entire day on Griffin. Started out early on some schooling fish throwing an A-Rig. Livescope and A Rig put some serious numbers in our box and several doubles as well... GOTTA LOVE IT!!!! At 10:00 we bailed on the numbers/dinker pattern with about 10 pounds in the box. Went up shallow and launched the Devils Horse around some spawning areas and made two major upgrades. Wound up with a 7.61 lb'r and a 5 on that topwater bait. Giant blowups = Giant FUN!

We fished a huge area with plenty of submerged vegetation with some holes in it. Caught good numbers of fish, just not a big one.

Fish the offshore Hydrilla tops and edges with a lipless crank bait. There has still been a good number of pre-spawners off shore.

In a week of practicing I had the best day of practice on Lake Griffin. Many fish in the 2-3 pound range PLUS found an offshore hydrilla point that touched up to some good hard bottom that had a wad of big ones sitting on it. To catch them I used a 1 -2 punch of a Jackhammer Chatterbait along with a slowww good ol fashion Carolina Rig. I used the Chatterbait for the numbers approach on the large grass flats on the north end of the lake. That yielded some great keeper bites. Then as the day progressed the fish really set up in a sitation that i felt better about dragging that big worm through the middle of them. That produced my best quality bite of the day, a 5 pounder. Hopefully this info will help you get a couple extra bites on your next outing!
