Editor’s Note: This is actually the first inside a series profiling 2014 Elite Series locations.
The Bassmaster Elite Series pros is going to be “grinning from ear to ear” once they start the growing season at Lake Seminole March 13-16 thinks Florida's Shaw Grigsby. Grigsby is aware of this storied 37,500-acre reservoir well, getting won two 13 Bassmaster occasions which have happened here.
“The whole lake is going to be good in March,” Grigsby states. “And very couple of designs won’t work, therefore the pros will have the ability to play to whatever their talents are.”
Situated in Georgia’s southwest corner across the Florida border, Seminole’s bass spawn peaks in Feb, Grigsby highlights. You will see breeding activity throughout the tournament, quite a few the bass is going to be on the postspawn feeding spree.
You may think that Grigsby, who performs exceptionally well at mattress fishing, will focus on breeding bass. That may happen, but Grigsby is not locked into sight fishing.
“I finished third at Seminole once and caught every bass on the lipless crankbait,” Grigsby states. “And, it had been full spawn time. Seminole is a superb turning lake.”
Key areas around the primary lake is going to be sand bars and spots which have stumps and immersed hydrilla. A jerkbait or lipless rattler could score large here.
Schools of bass may also be relevant to primary lake creek funnel drops, Grigsby adds.
“I search for structure men like Timmy Horton and Paul Elias to become very competitive,” Grigsby states. “Mike Iaconelli easily wiped us out at Seminole once by fishing certainly one of individuals drops.”
Grigsby also thinks that from drop shot fishing to punching hyacinth mats with heavy Texas rigs might be productive. Is the shad spawn be considered a factor?
