not everybodys bed fishing some are working other stuff. I rode with rick clunn today and he barely had 5 keepers, caught the last one in the last 10 minutes. He covered a ton of water and tried several different things. all his keepers came off of finesse gear with two being bed fish both smallies. i think he only had 3 on day one. He knew he needed a big day to make the 50 cut and was trying for a big bite, it just wasnt there. Some had better days today some slid back a little. Still no big sacks. That front really shut them down. You can see beds everywhere just not many have fish on them. Possible tomorrow and monday they could move back in and the weights will go up some.

That's the big ego making them stick with one technique bc their known for that:

Denny Braurer and Tommy Biffle will always pitch and flip even if they know its not going to help them win.

Its what they do, versatility is not in their bag.

Some guys love bedding bass and will live and die with it.

Biffle aint just a flipper!! I rode with him last year on day one and he wrecked em...had 18+ with most of his sack doing something different than flipping he has a few other tricks in his bag but he does prefer to flip if he can. From what i saw the past two days the bed fishing deal is kinda like throwing the a-rig. Alot of guys are staying with it because they know what they saw in practice and they are afraid they are gonna be beat by the other guys who are sticking with bed fish. I guess thats what a majority did in practice and they liked what they saw some have made adjustments but still not finding the bigger bite.

I know, it was just an analogy.
