Brian Snowdens morning has been steady but slower than he had hoped. This 3-2 is number three on his card...and a 5 plus just got off at the boat.

After loosing three large fish at the boat, Brian Snowden finally brought this 5-15 in the boat. A bit of frustration with the lost fish but as he says, “It’s Lake Fork, the big one is a bite away.”

Keith Combs got a 5 fish limit cranking by 8 am. Good solid keepers but hoping a school of big girls moves in like he had in practice.

Clent Davis struggled all morning as the shad spawn bite was not cooperating. After missing almost 10 fish that wouldn’t really eat his bait he picked up 2 keepers. His persistence with a swim jig paid off with this nice 6-11 that brought a smile to his face.

After getting pounded all night with rain and lightning, it’s settled down for a bit for the take off...should be fish catching day! Caleb Sumrall’s two children are making sure dad gets the right send off...while Harvey Horne is trying to get them onto his boat for good luck.

Harvey’s 4-8 was quickly followed up by this 4-7. The intensity after landing on a good spot shows in his face.
