2011 Bassmaster Elites Start in Florida
It looks like the Elite Series is coming to Florida in 2011 with the first event on the Harris Chain and then moving to the St. Johns River in Palatka. They’re starting in March for whatever reason and it’s gonna be a sight fishing festival as long as there’s no cold fronts. I can’t wait to see how the pros figure it out around these parts.
My prediction is that someone’s gonna find all the clear water canals where we’re catchin’em right now around bluegill beds on Harris and Eustis but in the spring those beds will have bass on them.
I’m thinkin that the St. Johns River will be won out of Lake George, Woodruff, or Dexter…. probably Lake George depending on the weather. Rodman or Crescent may play a role if the grass ever comes back.
