I saw it live: His wife had reminded him the night before that their son still had the family record with an 11 something because Randy had caught a 10.13 that day. Imagine breaking your PB twice in 2 days, setting the MLF record twice in 2 days and beating your family’s record. Randy seems like a good God fearing family man. Props to him.

Will FFS in the timber be a popular pattern? Or is the lake to low? FFS??? It'll be jigs and jerks on creek channel bends in staging areas! Everybody is fishing that pattern right now. Thats been a staple prespawn pattern dang near since the 90’s. That will get them weight but won’t get them numbers. There’s another pattern right now I know of that’s throwing numbers and weight. But will keep it tight lipped since Champs is coming up for some guys. There will be no secrets after MLF. Everyone fishing Champs will know exactly what patterns these guys were using. I'm still sticking with my prediction of record entries into the Champs event.

bloo-rainger, I think you are 100% correct. This will be a hunting trip for sure.

I’m going next Saturday to fish Fork because it looks like it will be the only weekend I’ll have available in February to go after the early spawners. I just don’t want to interfere with these guys because of what they have riding on this tournament. If Fork is excessively crowded I’ll tow over to Holbrook.
It's going to fish small no matter

Jigs on creeks and brush piles is the ticket right now. Fish are feeding heavy on crawfish as mouths are all red. Fish are short and fat like the 90s I had 2 9s recently right at 23” and a bunch of 5-7 short slots. Watched a kayak guy pull 6 fish off one tree he said all were 19-23” since they do length he didn’t weigh. Lake is also fishing smaller with water down. They do total weight right? There will be crazy daily totals. The other bite will be stick bait with livescope. I have not been able to find any deep fish. If you going to follow stay tight to runs off the bouys. Lots of timber in play close to runs.

I hope to get to fish sat. at least. I expect a lot of boats but nothing out of the ordinary for a nice weekend this time of yr. pros or not.

That was Sabine River. He followed Dean Rojas and fished his water. It was pretty bad. Yes that was really bad for him to do.

The lake is fishing horrible… and I mean HORRIBLE!!! Took 5 lbs to win JC yesterday and 3lbs to get a check. 6 limits in media on Saturday and 4 lbs to get a check. I’m not saying there aren’t some guys on em, but in 3 days I never saw another boat catch a fish, and it was busy both Friday and Sunday. Saturday was for hardcore anglers only, been a while since I fished in the snow blowing sideways.
I’m interested to see how the MLF guys will do, another big front comes in next weekend, I anticipate similar conditions and water temps to this past weekend. It’ll be like all the other fork tournaments, a couple of guys will smash them but overall the field will struggle, IMO.
