Toyota Tundra Classic at lake Fork... - 04/23/08 01:19 AM

Anyone know where Kelly Jordon's or Bobby Lane's teams were fishing and or what pattern... I wanted to be a spectator but was unable too...

I don't know exactly where all they were but I did see Kelly in front of 515 (North end) strolling a deep diving crank bait. I know that is how they won.

Don't know about Bobby Lane's team

Both teams were fishing deep diving crankbaits on main lake points/humps for the most part. A little sight fishing thrown in but they took first and second fishing deep. Well now that I think about it, Chad Brauer (on Bobby Lane's team) caught some nice sacks up shallow on swimbaits and jigs.

Thanks you guys! going this weekend and nice to hear from some gentleman like yourself....I'm thinking about going to a 100% Fork fisherman... tired of the pressure tournament fishing puts on me...maybe go back to the days when fishing was just catching fish...

Several deep community holes really. Nothing out of the ordinary as far as spots go. I didn't see Kelly much to know where he was other than when he was looking at them.

As far as Chad, he fished shallow and deep. He was flipping a jig in 20ft of water with a 20+ wind blowing right on him. Not many of us can do that.

Pretty decent. I tried to pay attention to little things the pro's did instead of worrying about spots. I never saw a pro fish anything I didn't already know about. I also learned they only care about high percentage areas and highly catchable fish.

Kelly caught most of his fish from "offshore stuff." He also said that he didn't park on community holes. He relied on his own spots from his years of experience on the lake.

One other note, he said the mainlake spawn seemed to be running almost a month behind.

For those of you going out there soon, he did say that some big girls moved up Sunday and Monday (after the tournament of course).
