It’s a big lake, but it’s fishing a little small today. We found Hank Cherry, Stetson Blaylock and Kyle Welcher all within a mile or so of one another — and then Chris Johnston came through.
They’re all within a long cast of the take off spot, not the far reaches of the rivers or down by the dam. We’ve gotten spoiled by Classics where multiple top finishers end up in the same area, like Beeswax Creek or Catouatche. This one won’t end up that way, but there are plenty of opportunities for coverage in tight spaces.
Yesterday, as swimbaiter Steve Kennedy left one pocket, his fellow big bait enthusiast Chris Zaldain pulled in. It’s amazing how quickly they break down water and key in on similarities.
