Chad Pipkens knows Lake St. Clair, as he’s a resident of nearby Lansing, Michigan. And he knows the smallmouth bass are biting right now. But he’s not on the fish he needs. BASSTrakk indicated Pipkens has a 10-3 limit at 11:15.
“The weather is right!” he said on the “Bassmaster LIVE Mix.” “Ten to 15 mile-per-hour south winds. They are biting right now. I need to be a part of it.”
So Pipkens is on the move, looking for a big flurry. He’s considered one of the favorites here. He’s coming off a 21st-place finish at Lake Champlain, which put him in 8th place in the AOY standings.
