It’s no secret that the early bite associated with a shad spawn has been crucial for several leaders in this tournament. Edwin Evers, for instance, has his 20 pounds in the boat in less than an hour yesterday. Then it seems like Lake Conroe gets tough until an afternoon bite turns on.
There’s a time that keeps getting mentioned as to when the early bite ends – 9:30 a.m. The latest to do so was Dave Lefebre yesterday. It’s just interesting that such a specific time gets repeated – not “around 9 o’clock” or “before 10 o’clock,” but on the dot 9:30. Keep an eye on that one today.
