Run or stay?

After Hank Cherry spent an hour tempting a 2-plus-pounder to take his bait we have this question to ponder.

Do you let the minutes tick away trying for one bass, or do you keep moving to intercept fish that are moving up to the shoreline?

Brandon Lester eluded to the answer moments before Cherry caught the stubborn fish. On LIVE, Lester remarked that he thought bass would continue moving up, along with the water level. Another answer might come tomorrow with yet again another change in this roulette wheel of a weather forecast. Partly cloudy skies and a high of 77 is in mix for Saturday. It will be the most ideal day of the weekend for sight fishing. Clouds and approaching rain are on the horizon for Championship Sunday.

It’s too soon to tell which is the better move. But one thing is for sure. The conditions will not pan out for an all-out sight fishing-fest, the likes of which anglers do spend an hour on a trophy-sized female largemouth.
