Paquette on the upswing today

Garrett Paquette experienced one of those tidal fisheries yo-yos on his first two days at Winyah Bay. The 24-year-old Elite Series rookie from Canton, Mich., was 6th on Day 1 with 12-8, then almost fell out of the top 35 cut on Day 2 with only two bass weighing 5-7.

Paquette is back on the upswing today, catching a limit in the first two hours and culling up. BASSTrakk shows him in 13th place at 10 a.m. with 8 pounds, 9 ounces today.
