Jay Yelas is back in familiar territory on Lake St. Clair. The 54-year-old veteran pro from Lincoln City, Ore., has frequented the grass flats at the northern end of the lake over the years. He mentioned that he’s always liked to try something “off the wall” to catch fish and a Chatterbait has been that for him this morning. BASSTrakk shows him in second place with 19-2.
“Every time we come here I like to fish these grass flats,” Yelas said. “But they haven’t really been on them the last few years, so guys have just left them alone. It’s a pretty good recipe for success when you’ve got nobody else around you, four-pound smallies and you know nobody has fished this all day.”
