Like so many of the guys I’ve run across today, Scott Suggs is wondering what happened to all the fish since practice.
“Yesterday you could pull up here and there were so many fish it looked like you were graphing spaghetti. Today there’s nothing,” he said.
He also knows tomorrow will be a different day. A lot of things are changing at a rapid pace on this lake. The question will be in what direction they go in for tomorrow. Obviously Suggs is hoping they return to their spaghetti pattern in the spots they were in. But they are just as likely to move further away.
There’s a lot of things left to happen in this derby. Someone tripping over the winning school might not happen until the late part of the final day. Meanwhile with everything a moving target. Most of these guys are just trying to survive today. That means catching a limit and being near the top.
Some have expressed the thought that if you could somehow piece together a limit each day you’d make the final 12. On that day it becomes who will stub their toe or trip over a bowl of spaghetti.
