Thompson up to second finishes 6th |
In second place, Orinda, Calif., pro Zack Thompson moved up three notches with a limit weighing 24-4 and a total of 51-11. Hinging his success on a particular tactical feature borne of local knowledge, Thompson was mum on lure specifics, but said he was fishing reaction baits and down baits.
He said water movement was central to his strategy: “It’s tide-related, so I just try to get on one of my spots when the tide is working in the right direction, catch a few and then wait until I can get to another spot where the fish are biting again. It’s just a matter of waiting for some water to move and being in the right place at the right time.”
Thompson said that during slack tide, he targets various turn breaks where lag times between tide schedules finds water moving around points. “If you keep moving around, you can find moving water.” Complete Story |
