Does being the second boat out provide a competitive advantage over the other 48 anglers on a given Saturday?
Today it sure does and that was exactly where Kevin VanDam began this morning. He’s already boated a 3-pounder, according to photographer Garrick Dixon, who is on him now.
KVD has obviously dialed into a productive dock bite, or the transition area for the spawning bass he is targeting in the creeks. Being on choice spots early and getting first pick at bass that moved up toward the shoreline overnight is the advantage.
What’s his game plan for the day?
“I’m going to keep running a lot of water and put myself in an area where the fish will move up, come to me.”
