Canterbury starts strong

Scott Canterbury started Day 3 fishing out deep, but he only spent 15 minutes doing that, then headed into a small cove where he caught his first bass of the day, three and a half pounder. It was caught on a top water bait.

That cove happened to be where the Humminbird plant has its boat house, with the plant just up the hill. Eufaula is where Humminbirds are manufactured, they test products right here on the lake, and they do customer service here as well.

Canterbury said he didn’t go shallow yesterday until 1:00, when he proceeded to catch three good fish in an hour.

“This one was a bonus,” he said. “Now I’m going to go fish my brush piles.”
