Jordan Lee has obviously dialed into a sweet spot in his given area. He started today in 9th place, about 15 pounds out of first place. Now he’s within 3 pounds of taking the lead. What’s notable about that is the slow action for the anglers ahead of him, Brent Ehrler and Brandon Paluniak. While they falter the Classic champ is moving up the scoreboard.
We don’t have details about his area but the duo of lures I reported on earlier are the perfect choice for such an area. A 10-inch Strike King Rage Thumper Worm, Carolina or Texas rigged to heavy weights, is the deep water choice. That, of course, is unless he switched lures.
Regardless, a heavy duty Carolina or Texas rigged worm is ideal for catching bass funneling out to deep water areas for the summer. Lee could be fishing in such an area, as the bigger bass funnel down a contour line into deeper water. Ideally, he is catching those bass off isolated bottom structure, such as a brushpile, rockpile or bottom feature.
