Waiting for Cliff Prince at the boat and it looks and feels like today is going to be a good day for these elite firsherman as the sun rises. Day three should be interesting as some yesterday ended up pulling in some really hefty weights while some struggling to find the same quality of fish as day one.

So, he is finally loosening up! Rick Morris was a bit frustrated until 11 am but look at him now! He has a limit but he has more work to do to bring up that poundage.

Finding his way back to the heart of the trail is Rick Morris and today has been a welcome beginning on Cayuga Lake. Rick has had a lot of success in his angling history but every tour stop is a new opportunity to flex some muscle and fight through varying conditions. After a front went through the day before the temperatures are cooler than expected. The sun is up though and the search is on for bass on this difficult lake. One catch and the smile is back. Hopefully Rick can extend this beginning into an eventful four days on Cayuga Lake.
