Thanks for the warm welcome huntinslabs. I have only been out a few times myself this year with getting a larger boat my wife prefers going to the gulf to fish but my time of year is here. I grew up in Gainesville and Fall and winter fishing up there is when you find the realy nice sized eating panfish and cats. I also wanted to add this for some that visit the harris chain there is a baitshop on Lake Eustis where 19 and 441 that is open 7 days a week. My father is a diehard bait fisherman and wanted grass shrimp (previous shop didn't have any), it was a long shot and 5+ mile boat ride across the the lakes on the chance they'd be open and have some they did. We managed 9 keepers out of about 50 but the specks were more responsive to the shrimp than worms or crickets.
