It’s likely a lot of Elite anglers haven’t had their expectations met today. As mentioned earlier, most felt like the lightning messed up the shallow fish. And it may have. It could still be messing with them. The weather remains unsettled.
Yesterday, in the first hour the 75-man field caught a total of 79 keepers. Today, that total from actual take-off until 8 a.m. is 57 fish. That’s a considerable drop off. The true tale of the tape, though will come in the second and third hours. Those were the best hours of the day on Day 1.
We will keep comparing. But at the moment it appears some of the bite has slowed.
