Will be a mad dash to the points since that should be the heart of the shad spawn. The last one was at the tail end of the shad spawn and all those fish were on the banks the week before and had just moved out deep for the most part. Just need clear water versus the cholate milk its been last two years and will see giant weights on top waters and shallow swim baits. I remember at that last one everyone on here and the lake was complaining about how brutal the lake was fishing or how something might be wrong with the lake. Then they came and showed out on swimbaits and suddenly everyone had been on that swimbait bite "before" they got here....lol There was a 10-14 day time frame after they left that had a lights out frog bite. Everyone was out deep throwing swimbaits a MB d a few of us stayed up shallow and caught a ton including some really big fish on frogs all day long. Yep I recal......the week before the last one I had a Saturday morning that I have never had before biggest 5 over 40 and caught close to 30 before 9. Two out of state boats sat behind watching even though invited to the fun and showed them he top water. They had no spook type baits and went to next point to try. Sometimes not everyone posts videos and pics and cant believe everything you read on here. Was out the next Saturday and watched the pros crush them out on the end of the same point and didnt have a sniff up shallow.  . Wasn't just going off reports on here. Lots of folks at the lake including locals etc were struggling.

Not a legal tournament, they weigh slot fish. They should fish under the same rules as all the other tournaments but then they wouldn't get to brag about 110 lbs. in 3 days would they. Bass Champs does it the right way and they impress me more.  You pick any 3 days on Fork and you fish them consecutively and break 110lbs on your best 5 combined from each day then we will be just as impressed. I agree.
