AOY watch

It’s way too soon to make strong predictions, but here are some assumptions about standing shifts for Toyota Angler of the Year.

BASSTrakk has current leader Ott DeFoe in 14th place. That keeps him firmly in the AOY lead. The strongest current performer is Jesse Wiggins, 8th in the tournament and the AOY standings. Greg Hackney is 10th in the standings and 32nd in the tournament. 

The conditions are setting up in his Hackney’s favor for a strong performance this week. Shallow water, heavy cover and spawning bass. Put all three together and you have the equation going for a strong move by Hackney.
