Well, the Elite Series starts tomorrow. It’s the Sunshine Showdown on the Harris Chain of Lakes. As you can see in this picture, there are some administrative chores to take care of before we get on the lakes tomorrow.
But that wasn’t my biggest headache of the day. My biggest headache was knowing there are some killer spots on this lake, with big, big fish. And I’m leaving the boat ramp as No. 96. And that’s a bad piece of luck. Somebody might have a 20 pounds before I ever leave the dock.
And really, this is not as if there are all kinds of secret places on these lakes. It seems like there are four or five really good places to fish, where you can flat bring ‘em in. I saw an 8-pounder today and whole bunch of fives. But the thing is, everybody seems to know where the fish are.
It’s kind of a gut-check time for me. I’ve been fishing in these Florida waters since 1982. And I’ll be honest, I’ve never done real well here. In a way, I’m glad we’re here, because I always want another shot at these lakes. But I’ve got a lot of history that’s not good.
So, wish me luck. I’ll need some tomorrow.

Good Luck!!! The Day 1 boat draw is a bum deal:(.
Well Boyd sorry to here you did bad in Florida. The season is early. You still have a lot of time to make it up. looking forward to watching you at Lake Lanier on Ultimate fishing. What date will you be filming on the lake? I’m fishing our local tourney on Hartwell tomorrow. Caught my first stripper on Lanier Monday. 13 lbs 15 oz. Caught it on 10 lb test with a lucky craft jerk bait. Best of Luck going to Texas.
I do wish you the best of luck in Texas. Your year will turn around. I do feel you will get another win this year. It is great to have someone with your character representing the sport in the mannor you do. Keep it up
