Practice today for the BFL Regional on Lake Wheeler. Water temp was 70 degrees and partly cloudy with 10 mph winds. We found fish in grass 3-5 ft and also in lilly pads. We caught a few spotted bass around barge tie-offs. Overall, we had a very good practice catching about 20 bass. We even got into a few schools of white bass.

Thanks to my Pro Mike Frye for putting on some good fosh today. We both caught a limit. Mike used a Carolina Rig and I used several baits. Our strategy was to work current seams and grass lines behind tied-up barges just off the main river channel. Green Pumpkin was the best color today. Day 2 tomorrow!
