    Nah, they are there. Like I said, they are tough to pattern...but they are there. I hear Griffin has been fishing pretty good. I was on Dora for a few hours on Sunday. Caught a nice 5 lber and a few small ones in a couple of hours. Nothing crazy, but at least we are catching.

    Crankbait bite has been pretty good. That's what I caught the 5 lber with on Dora Sunday.

    If you have the patience the off shore bites are good in Harris and Eustis. You wont get a lot but you can catch some big ones. The shallow bite is hot and cold. Lots of small ones too.

    Yes, lots of small ones willing to bite a speed worm or trick worm. I would go with magnum trick finesse in June bug. You’ll get bites.

    Yea I'm going to launch out of that south end ramp of eustis.

    Anyone been flipping the dead river? Or better to stay in open deeper water?

    Not sure about the dead river. I will be out there Sunday. We have a club tournament out of Buzzard Beach on Lake Eustis Sunday. I'm still not sure which direction on the chain I'm going.

    Went there once. Just seemed tougher for me to figure out than Toho or other local lakes. But, I've not given it a fair shake...I know there's giants in there.
