When you look at the remaining Elite Series schedule it looks tailor-made for a strong Greg Hackney run at the Toyota Angler Of the Year title. Toledo Bend, Texoma, Cayuga, and Potomac are all in his wheelhouse. They fit his style, though he’s versatile enough to do well anywhere. Any time you put him somewhere with medium to shallow cover, especially with vegetation, he’s got a shot at a good day. Particularly with a jig in his hand.
Hackney won his first AOY title in 2014, and that season included a win on Cayuga. He currently sits atop the Elite field with 394 AOY points. Takahiro Omori is in second, 27 points back, with 367 points.
