John Cox is on stop number five in the St. Clair River, and he’s only got two fish for less than 5 pounds to show for it.
He doesn’t seem too worried yet, but he’s still formulating a plan of attack.
He’s pitching a drop shot against sea walls, which was the tactic that gave him the lead the first two days of competition. But he’s working out where on the river he needs to be.
“I’m not sure what I’m gonna do yet,” Cox said.
He said he’s going to head back to his starting spot in hopes that his timing is perfect.
“It’s just a matter of pulling up to them when they’ve pulled up the the sea walls,” Cox said.
One thing is certain: He doesn’t want to go into Lake St. Clair.
“I’d rather catch them like this than go into the lake,” Cox said.
Time will tell if that’s a wise decision.
