The bane of live bait

We’ve left Joe Balog. Fate unknown. Meanwhile, fourth-place angler Ben Nielsen is not a happy camper. He’s got a smallmouth in the livewell. But around him is a charter boat, and the clients are dunking live bait in the lake. And they are catching fish too.

 

That’s how it goes in this game, of course.

 

Lots of unknowns developing out here. Such as Fletcher Shryock. Yesterday said he’s going for broke on Lake Erie. The wind has spun the compass dial from the southwest to the northwest. He told me that northeast is best. It’s indeed a new day on Lake Erie when compared to the weather from the previous days. And then we have the rest of the bunch. Many stayed here in Lake St. Clair.

 

Needless to say, the final weigh-in could be interesting at Bass Pro Shops Outdoor World in Auburn Hills.
