Fishing tournament today out of Lakefront Park, started out around Paradise Island across from Shingle Creek working around the back side with the new Bio bait worm from BASS PRO in Green pumpkin with blue flake. 3rd cast got a 2.95lbs, few casts later got a.72lbs. Moved around on the back side of island but had no luck. Went back to the side across from Shingle Creek and got another small one and noticed that they were breaking the surface chasing minnows, so I threw out towards Shingle Creek and got the big one, 5.6lbs, pictured. Got 3 more and made 2 culls, .72 for a 2.05 and.91 for a 1.14lbs. 5 fish total for today was 12lbs 10 ounces.

Focused on standing timber in close proximity to spawning flats. Utilized a swimming jig to "knock" into the wood structure, thereby causing a strike.

Fishing the back side of Paradise Island up in the reeds and submerged vegetation caught 2 today. Tough day, not many bites and the fish weren't where I thought that they would be. Tried many places and different lures and colors of worms and only got bites on watermelon red and watermelon pearl.

Only got 2, one eary just off the ramp while waiting for the guys to show up, 2.19lbs pictured. Missed a couple there and got broke off as well. We then went across the lake to the dock with the red roof and worked to the right and I got the other one, small right about a pound. Missed a few but saw plenty on the scope. Went back into the cove with the tiny houses and worked down the left side without any luck. Got all the way in the back and started seeing some beds, not many fish on them, and missed a couple and got broke off again.

Flipping into Kissimmee Grass and jigging a few times bass were hitting it hard and moving off with bait. Good day of fishing.
