When predicting how much rain is predicted around Lake Martin for the weekend the weather forecasters just gave it up. Rounded up or down a few digits the predictions come to a 100 percent chance. Tonight, tomorrow, Saturday night and all day on Sunday. Rain, rain and more rain. There also is a 100 percent chance that power fishing could become a front runner for the tournament win.
Enough fell last week during a rain event and again on the final practice day to trigger a largemouth bite. The movers and shakers on the leaderboard already are proving that largemouth will indeed be a major player on a lake dominated by spotted bass.
Fishing methodically around docks and transitional areas holding natural wood and rock is the hot tactic of Day 2. The approaching front will deliver wind, rain and more active largemouth. A power fisherman’s dream. We can all look forward to seeing how the leaderboard causes the ability of these anglers to make key adjustments as the bite evolves with the weather.
