They report fishing crankbaits and damiki rigs at depths of 12-15 ft in the mid lake area. Culling through 15 keepers Chad reports that the high winds had the shad pushed up on the banks resulting in a shallower bite.
Second place went to Jacob Wade and Robbie Dodson culling through an amazing 40 keepers their best five weighed 18.73 lbs. FFS played an important part in their success.
Third place Mike Gold and Greg Wood went old school and fished shallow crankbaits nearby the takeoff location culling through 10 keeps for their best five weighing 18.12 lbs.
