I fished the Harris Chain of Lakes March 13-16th for the MLF Pro Circuit event and came in 7th/158. I was focusing early in the mornings on a shallow water shad spawn with the Z-Man Jackhammer and Razor Shadz as a trailer. I would then switch over to flipping a Z-Man Bangstickz or zinkerz with a 5/8oz Angler Tungsten weight. I was pitching around cattails, buggy whips and kississimee grass in 2-5' trying to put the bait in beds that I couldn't visibly see the fish on. Day 3 was my best day when I weighed in 20lbs even to jump up and make the final day cut. Overall there were fish in all 3 stages of the spawn but it seemed to be wrapping up with the last wave coming and more post spawn fish moving offshore. Below you will find links to fish catches and video recaps of each day of this tournament and practice: Harris Chain Day 3 & 4 MLF Pro Circuit- https://youtu.be/dS87zyFC9eg Harris Chain Day 2 MLF Pro Circuit- https://youtu.be/pgwQmKjvxn4 Harris Chain Day 1 MLF Pro Circuit- https://youtu.be/zmptRnScrQ4 Harris Chain Practice MLF- https://youtu.be/_6PtiaCiamI

SpeciesLargemouth BassTechniqueSwim JigsSeasonSpring (Post-Spawn)StructureSubmerged VegetationThe shad are spawning first thing in the morning on any shallow vegetation. You need to get on the spot before the sun starts to come up. It's amazing how many shad are in the lake right now. They are very easy targets for the bass before the light gets too high. The bites come fast and furious for the first hour. It gets pretty tough after the sun gets up but the fish are still in the same areas. There are also some fish getting on main lake docks and can be targeted with Texas rigged worms and shaky heads.
