> Type of Water: Relatively shallow chain (5-7 feet, some holes that are much deeper) To help better frame the setup, here's some info on the fishery itself. So while the majority of pros will probably start on bed-fish tomorrow, at least a third of the field will move straight to their post-spawn patterns, and in the scheme of things, a 13-pound post-spawn limit might be stronger than a 20-pound bed-fish limit tomorrow.Īnd again, given tonight's winds, all the bed-fishing talk might be for nothing. Bed-fish certainly help, but by day 2, most of the field will be scrambling for a 10-pound limit. event at the Harris Chain has never been won on a bed-fishing pattern. The reality, however, is that a tour-level B.A.S.S. The good canals off Harris and Eustis will be particularly crowded, with perhaps one boat per fish. There's no doubt that the canals will be packed tomorrow, at least to start. But he did get into the heads of his competition. He called it 'defensive fishing,' because he had a late flight, and never fully disclosed whether he'd actually done it. Remember too: David Dudley fished that 2005 contest, and messed with everyone's heads by bragging at the meeting that he purposely went out and stuck a bunch of bed-fish the final day of practice. Those in later flights will then either have to muscle their way in – a setup we saw in 2005 when George Cochran and Jim Bitter had their exchange in the 'crowded canal' episode – or simply hunt post-spawn fish, which seem to be topping out at about 2 1/2 pounds.

A continuing, persistent wind tomorrow plus clouds will certainly hurt the sight-fishing, but perhaps more important, storm activity tonight could totally trash the clear-water canals by morning.Īssuming that bed-fishing is a viable pattern tomorrow, a pro with a good boat draw might be able to immediately head to a canal and whack about 20 pounds. But then again, strong winds blew through the Harris Chain tonight with gusts recorded at 45 mph. Idle times between the lakes, and the likelihood of bedding fish.Īs an update, the field today reported quite a few more bed-fish in the canals than perhaps expected – including several 10-plus-pounders – which should certainly skew tomorrow's weights.

In that piece, Keith Alan laid out several of the factors in play at this week's Harris Chain Elite Series, including weather (wind and clouds tomorrow followed by post-frontal conditions), substantial BassFans by now have had time to digest all the info contained in the Alan Report, published earlier today.
