Walker shoots Moccasin Gap
David Walker looks for a way to get through the treacherous gap.
Chapman makes a move, it pays off
Brent Chapman told us he was "going below the bridge" and took off. Well, he ran below the bridge, all right. He stopped near the power lines, about a mile from the Tallapoosa River.
Kennedy, Walker at Jordan Dam
Found Steve Kennedy a ways down from the dam. Then, suddenly, David Walker shows up. It's getting interesting at Jordan Dam. I'm headed back to the dam to see what Walker is up to.
Biffle buzzes by
No action from Edwin Evers, but Tommy Biffle just zipped through here. He obviously was fishing even a bit farther up the Tallapoosa than Evers.
Kennedy fishing below dam
Steve Kennedy is fishing right below the dam. He caught two small fish, and both went right back into the river.
Evers makes a bold move
Edwin Evers just threw us a major curveball. He decided to make a 12-mile run up the Tallapoosa River, which is uncharted territory for Darren Jacobson and me. Even our boat driver, Pike Road's very own Matt Chambliss, isn't exactly sure where we are. We crossed underneath the Highway 231 bridge and settled on a spot about three miles upriver near a big sandbar. There are a couple of sunbathers out, probably wondering what we're doing out here. Following the Toyota Bassmaster Angler of the Year points leader, that's all.
In search of Kennedy
I drove to the Jordan Dam to see if I could catch a glimpse of Steve Kennedy. From my perspective, sadly, no. I can see what I believe is Seigo Saito in a camera boat, so I know I'm close.
Chapman back down for good
Brent Chapman came straight to the mouth of Corn Creek after coming back through the shoals.
Napping and rapping
The Elite Series angler-less duo here in Corn Creek ain't happy. Overstreet is trying to take a nap, but I'm playing "The Heist" by Macklemore and Ryan Lewis as loud as I can get it on my iPhone. I noticed a big thrift shop in Wetumpka yesterday. If it's open on Sundays, I might show up at the weigh-in in a come-up. Hold on — Chapman is back, and we're back to work.
