Wheeler is still pounding the water off-shore while the waves and wind are pounding the boat ... keeping the bilge pump busy.  He has shown nothing but tenacity while marking fish and fighting the elements.

Alton Jones calls it!!! As he's getting ready to make a cast, he says he is going to catch one that weighs 2 pounds and 7 ounces. And he does! Turns out it was a fish he caught and released during practice and he knew right where it would be.

Alton Jones picks up his 3rd keeper in the last 15 minutes. All out of the same small pocket. He thinks the fish are all on beds but with the conditions, he can't see them.

Alton Jones with his first fish of the morning. He's waiting for the sun to come out a little more so he can begin bed fishing. He caught this one in a small pocket off the main lake.

Wheeler started offshore ... moved around without success.  He's now moved shallow to try and find the right bite ... as of finishing this post he put one small fish in the box.

Today greeted the anglers with significantly higher winds…20 minutes to take-off, flags are standing straight out. Rough on the “Bay” may be an understatement…certainly will affect those needing to sight fish.
The wind is blowing and the boys are getting ready to bust them today!
