5th: Remitz Caught On Quickly |
|
Mechanical problems kept Remitz's boat sidelined during practice, so he rode around with a couple of other anglers and searched for beds. He did that for most of the morning today, but switched gears when it didn't produce.
"I said to heck with it and just caught them fishing," he said. "I just played the conditions.
"I looked until almost 11 and I had nothing. There were two that I maybe could've caught, but it would've been hard. The wind was blowing and I saw some stuff I wanted to fish, and within an hour I had all my weight." Complete Story |

A Better Day for Sight Fishing |
|
Alabama's Derek Remitz, who is in fifth place with 16-15, would much prefer to catch his fish by chunking and winding than by antagonizing bedding fish to bite, but he's torn between the two tactics.
Evidence of that lay on the front deck of his boat this morning in the form of just two rods, one rigged up with a soft plastic lure for bedding bass, the other rigged up with a hard bait that will allow him to cover water. He believes that "just fishing" will continue to get better as the tournament progresses, but in the meantime he'll keep his eyes open for a big spawning fish.
"At some point you're going to run into a 4- or 5-pounder," he said. Complete Story
