You don’t see it much these days anymore, but Bill Weidler sits for most of the day when he’s staring at his electronics.
We see David Fritts do that all the time. Rick Clunn has started in some events. Most folks refer to it as the Bill Dance position.
Fritts has always done that. It’s part of his ability to pinpoint a cast to a target. It’s popular in the North Carolina region.
Weidler is the latest to start. But don’t expect to see him doing it much this season after this event.
Weidler believes by leaning on his seat he has the opportunity to focus more on what is taking place on his electronics. We’ve seen anglers young and old stumble around on the front deck as waves and rollers continually wash across this lake from every direction.
While he’s not wavering on the deck, he can focus on the details scrolling across the screen.
Obviously it’s working.
