LAKESIDE BAIT & TACKLE at 352-742-3336 According to Lori the specks are doing wonderful around the bridge in Little Lake Harris in 7 feet of water. Lake Beauclaire is also producing some nice ones as well. They just weighed in a nice 1 pound 8 oz. speck in their speck contest. Purple Doghouse jigs are the color this year and are working well. Bass are being caught on minnows that are actually being used for specks. They are selling raffle tickets for a basket of different crappie and bass rigs with a choice of any rod in the shop. Stop in and check out their huge selection of tackle.
BASS N GAL GUIDE SERVICE at 352-267-0062 If the wind ever stops blowing gale force, it is time to go speck fishing. Right now they are catching them in deeper water using jigs or jigs tipped with minnows. Canals and mouths of canals are a good place to try as they are moving in for bedding (and you can get out of the winds). Bass are being caught on the Harris chain using a chrome blue or chrome green Ratt-L-Trap, a June Bug plastic worm or a small shallow running crank bait. A slow falling sinking weightless worm or a chrome blue or green Rat-L-Trap reeled in as fast as possible, are both working quite well.
BROOKER BAIT & TACKLE at 352-460-0695 Gary tells us the specks are out deep and are starting to come into the canals and are being caught using jigs or minnows.Bass fishing is productive using spinnerbaits, Ratletraps and worms. Captain Al and Zack have been doing several successful guide trips. Calan Hawkins fished a recent tournament held out of Lake Griffin and came in 3rd place with 11 pounds plus.
BASS WORLD LODGE at 386-467-2267 reports they have been catching some fish, both catfish and bass. Dwaune has been catching 5 or 6 a day. It is time for the specks to turn on with the cooler weather. Some nice catfish and stripers were caught up around the power line and the Croaker Hole. Bass are biting well. It is also the time of the year for catfish to turn on.
