Boyd Duckett is in the midst of a good news/bad news situation. The good news? He’s found a school of smallmouth bass bigger than anything he’s seen previously this week. The bad news? He can’t get them to bite.
Photographer Gettys Brannon reports that Duckett has used seven or eight different combinations of lures and presentations to coax a bite, with no success. But he’s encouraged.
“That school at some point today will eat,” Duckett said. For now, he’s content to keep checking back here so he doesn’t miss chow time. Duckett currently has two bass weighing 4-2 in his livewell.
