First off, I know there are no secrets at Fork. I sold my boat a couple of years ago, so the point I'm going make is somewhat moot.
With that being said, am I the only one watching the Elite tourney just hoping they didn't camp on one of "my" spots?
Several times the pro's would be fishing near areas I like to fish. A couple of them were in an area or point that I fish. Right or wrong, they didn't fish what I consider a spot within a spot. At one point, I was hoping one of them didn't shift over another 50 yards. One of the "magic" trees I fish was near. In another area, there was a structure I like to fish that didn't get touched...it was within a hundred yards of where they were pulling some big girls. I'm thinking I sure hope he doesn't move there and replicate his bite.
On another note, I was watching one of the pro's fish a point that I thought I was familiar with. I'm watching while thinking "there is no way he catches 'em there....I fished that point 100 times and about every 50th trip I catch one there"........except he catches a couple of critical fish there. Guess I'm the idiot.
Really enjoyed the coverage.

You played high school football. They play professional football. That's the difference and I'm in the same "boat".

Really enjoyed the coverage. That sunken bridge in front of Hideaway is too deep for this time of the year

PM me all those spots. I will check them out in a couple of weeks and let you know if they are still worth fishing or not.

"..The pleasantist angling is to see the fish
Cut with her golden oars the silver stream,
And greedily devour the treacherous bait.
