Tale of two bites

Randy Sullivan is going through a lot of fish–he’s caught more than a dozen–but none of those bass are in the livewell.

Photographer Andy Crawford just called me and shared this photo of what Sullivan is doing now. He abandoned the causeway/riprap pattern with a crankbait, and is now trying the flipping tactic around boat docks. He is running docks in the same creek, making brief stops and moving through the rotation.

Meanwhile, the running and gunning tactic is in play with most of the field. That equates to a junk fishing strategy, which is what it’s taking to get strikes from bass setting up on ambush points.
