Yelas out to have fun

“I guarantee you that I’m having more fun than the other guys throwing a drop shot,”

Jay Yelas shared those words with me this morning. He is fishing a shallow grassy flat, where the fish are biting his bladed jig and a spinnerbait.

Even better for Yelas, he’s got the entire area all to himself, unlike other top anglers in full view of other anglers.

He is off to his best start of the season. Yelas, fishing his 216th B.A.S.S. event, is currently just outside the Bassmaster Classic cut in 42nd place.
