I'm pulling for Mark Daniels.  

That's who I was rooting for too. I heard the wind wasn't going to blow though, that might hurt his chances.

Wheeler is starting in the stump row. It might be totally beat up. We’ll see. 

He is in trouble. I don’t think he found anything else yesterday afternoon.

I might be wrong🤪🤪🤪

I found where Wheeler is fishing via satellite.  I'll keep it in the memory bank if I ever want to go fish for jaws on TR.  

It would be nice if they'd bite the same style swimbait I catch them on Beaver Lake with.

He did way better than I thought he would. Now, is the test. Did he mark enough for today. 

I thought he might have caught a couple more in the second and third yesterday to not drop so far if he was on them. 

Not a cloud in the sky and cold the second day after a front.  I would struggle. 

Never underestimate any of these guys.

This morning,  I postured my boat on the main lake looking for Zach Birge to make his first stop but did not see stop anywhere in a 2 mile stretch. I watched Alton Jr for a while and he was scoping in a gravel pocket in Kimberling area.

Then I travel up the White and see several boats coming out of Big Wolfpen and it just happened to be Drew Gill. It was still the 1st period and he was not using FFS (waiting until 2nd period to use FFS).

I followed him from Wolfpen to PT16, then left around 9:30.

I watched him hit several spots on the main lake and back in small pockets. Without FFS, he went to only the high percentage locations where a spawner would be. On the main lake he did not fish straight banks, it needed to be a little drain or some minor cut. For coves, he went to the back and did not bother looking anywhere else the cove.

One of the pictures is just outside the mouth of Little Wolfpen, where there are plenty of visible trees and big rock bank that transitions into gravel. At the transition is a drain and he stopped there and did not continue on the gravel. 

In Big Wolfpen, he would have fished the 1st drain on your right where it transitions from big lava rock to more of a slab/gravel combination. 

I watched a little 2nd period action and with FFS he is on gravel.

Weather is too nice, it’s over. Wheeler is too far ahead in my opinion 

[Bill Babler]

Neighbor and his daughter went out at 12:30. Fishing flat gravel and have had 4 nice SM. 

Swimming a 2.8 Keitech. I have not seen a single pro do that this week. Unreal. 

[Quillback]

Wheeler looking tough to catch.  The guy is a fishing machine.

Yeah Bill, I'm surprised they aren't throwing a swimmer either.  

[Bill Babler]

They have had 5 keepers since 12:30. All 2 # SM. 

Flats around Baxter and Red Barn. Gizzard Shad 2.8. Just slow swimming the little swimbait. 

Wheeler was slow getting those stump  row fish to bite, and really I thought they might be used up. He proved me wrong.  He really didn’t have anything else yet, but they are not biting for anyone except my neighbor😁🤣🤣
