Crews in the skinny water

John Crews started Day 2 in second place, and he’s hoping to keep that momentum rolling in his favor. Another big day in the 25-pound NeverNever-Land range and he’ll be in solid contention.

He’s fishing a narrow creek that only has a foot to 18 inches of water over it, and that’s with a falling tide currently.

With the weather still warm, warming water temps and prespawn bass positioning themselves for the rigorous annual dance of love, this is an ideal area to catch 25 pounds.

But, as Crews worked back deeper into the creek, a local angler had beat him to his juice. It may be irreverent, and they are allowing for Crews to have the spot, but still.

They exchanged pleasantries, and in typical John Crews fashion, he kindly asked their permission to fish here and they left with smiles on their faces.

A true professional.

Now, hopefully he can get down to business and find another 11-pounder. This is a beautiful area.
