We fished the Harris Chain Saturday for our second BFL tournament. I caught 4 fish for a total weight of 6 lbs. 5oz. and finished 20th, got a check for $199.00. YEEEEE-HAW! Not much weight I know, but for the cold conditions getting four fish is a plus.
I caught three fish Friday in practice for about 7 lbs. +/- all were caught in a bunch of different canals in Eustis little harris and big harris. I caught one on a lipless crankbait from BPS XPS gold-chrome/ black back 1/2 oz, it was only 13 inches. I had two fish Friday on the zoom speedcraw blackberry w/3/4 oz. t-tungsten flippin and pitching, one weighed 3.1 and the other 2.75.
Saturday I caught one first thing in the morning on a redshad senko weightless on the harris main lake weedline East side just above the Dead River. Then I got a 2.25 further South in Harris off the corner of a dock with a grass edge right there, pitching the speedcraw. Then we went back to my canals in little Harris and My partner caught three small fish in there on a junebug trick worm and I caught two more keepers on that same lipless crankbait. I lost that crankbait with 45 minutes left to go, I keep forgetting to take my homemade plug knocker.
I was kind of shocked to see where I finished, in fact I was not even close to the weigh-in when I heard my name called, I was still in the parking lot from pulling my partner out. I really thought it would have taken more weight, but I'm definitely not complaining. That puts me in sixth points wise over all, which also shocked me this morning when I went on the FLW site.
It was a miserable two days with high winds, cooler temps, and dirty water.
I believe the first place boaters side was won on a lipless crankbait, 24 = lbs. and co-angler side was won with 16+ lbs.
