I had a better day today on Griffin than I've had. We were only out for the morning and caught 5 fish.

We did good on a tough lake. Starting to figure it out. I'm not going to say anything about me only catching fish on this lake when I'm in Speckanators boat.
Glad to see you bringing them in.
Has the guide sitting in the front of the boat have anything to do with the "catching"?
I was gonna mention using the rod holders correctly helps but after seeing who's boat you were in
I know better. If that blue boat can't catch any fish in Griffin then they ain't there.
Looks good guys ! ! ! !
Good to see something happening, never fished this lake, is the average depth really 5 ft ?, if so, goin have to resort to Jessup tactics.
I see the "dead" sea.
I guess you have fished the Harris Chain before huh? Sure seems that way sometimes!Quote:

I worked with NASA on the Apollo program. I was there for the big sink hole event in Winter Park in '81. I fished Jessup around Gator Island...Lots of eaters. Got the big fishes in Puzzle Lake. Loved it. I did lot of shrimping, clamming and gathering oysters off clusters in the Indian River. Probably illegal now.Quote:

Just gotta watch the Florida aquaculture for open areas for clamming and oysters and it changes frequently, at least it seems that way. Got any pics of that big kite. Sounds cool.Quote:

I personally have not been up there by boat but, i understand that it is still as you mentioned.
I have made the trip from the public ramp on the Oklawaha river on HWY 40 to Silver Springs as far as allowed but not from the Harris Chain.
