Andy Crawford is working on a gallery with Kyle Welcher, who is on the lower end of the lake. He is running a combination of riprap shoreline and an island with isolated wood cover and laydowns. A bladed jig is getting it done.
“They are knocking the fire out of it,” he told Andy.
He is fishing the shady–not sunny-side of the casting targets.
“There is current on the shady side, and that’s what is making the difference,” he said.
He must be on to something. This makes three keepers in the livewell within about 15 minutes. Welcher estimated his weight at 8 pounds.
