Jeff Gustafson now has 4 keepers in the boat as he gives the smallmouth a beat down in his area. His deep water spot bottoms out at 24 feet, and it features a mixed rubble of rocks and boulders–ideal for smallmouth.
The question is what will he do when he limits out? Which could have already happened when I sent this post.
Will he stay and guard the area, knowing this is Saturday? Or will he let it rest?
Gussy has no other back up areas. He’s not needed to leave the area. Looking for new water would consume fishing time, and he lacks past experience here.
“All I know about it is what I watched on the Classic show in 2019,” he said.
Gussy also found this spot late in the afternoon on the final day of practice, when he didn’t have anything else going.
So answers to those questions will be interesting to find out.
