While Ish Monroe is facing an 8-pound deficit now, that can disappear in a hurry if his offshore smallmouth bass bite turns on, like it did yesterday. And it’s setting up perfectly as far as the wind is concerned. It’s currently blowing at 8 miles per hour out of the southeast, just as it was yesterday when Monroe caught the big bass of the tournament so far – a 5-1 – on his way to a 16-7 limit.
Monroe said he plans to go there about 10 o’clock.
