Elimination day

That’s a play on words, actually. We hear a lot about eliminating water as a means of honing in on bass and especially on large impoundments. Lake Texoma fits that profile and then some.

The logic of elminating water is about focusing on specific areas where the bass are located.

What Casey Ashley just said on Bassmaster LIVE sums it up. 

“The water dropped five inches overnight and that is a good thing. It will elminate some of that flooded shoreline cover.”

Eliminate shoreline cover? That should be a good thing for everyone fishing with the long rod. But what it also means, like Casey said, is less cover. Less is better here since there is so much of it. 

Another factor is the falling water and how those bass will relate to the diminishing cover. The bass, according to Casey, will pull out as the water drops. That’s standard bass fishing knowledge but he and the other anglers know it and keep that top of mind as the lake level recedes.
