This morning Chris Zaldain told me he’s fishing like he likes to fish. That can only mean finesse fishing. On his front deck was one spinning rod.
Zaldain is doing what he does best, and he’s doing that in shared water with the leader, Aaron Martens.
“I’m on a really good spot, when you cast in there you get a bite every single time,” he said. “My hook to land ratio is good and every time I get one on the hook I land it.”
What else is important about what both anglers are doing is they planned ahead for the rising water.
“I practiced for the flooding waters, spending a lot of time out on the river, graphing offshore areas,” he explained.
“There are two really good schools and the best time is early in the morning.” he continued.
“Aaron’s in the area and there was one particularly good spot I was going to save, but not now. It’s a killer spot and we’re just going to try and stay out of each other’s way.”
