Day 3 of this derby is underway and we will soon start getting answers that have been brewing an extra day.
Things like:
_ Is the shad spawn still a factor? It likely is but those things typically ebb and flow. The night before last it literally rained all night. So a lot of changes could have taken place. If so, what are those changes.
_ And truthfully, the only reason we bring up this line of changes is wondering what could have happened to Chad Pipkens’ magic spot.
Bringing you up to speed, Pipkens has been making a cast at a small area to catch his two-day total. A consistent topic of conversation since Friday evening has been, how much pressure will Pipkens’ spot get while the tournament takes a day off.
Keith Combs, a local was asked, “How many of these locals do you think will try to find or get on Pipkens’ spot while he’s not there?”
Combs was to the point, “All of them.”
That’s scary. Pipkens didn’t seem to be too concerned. But the rest of the field knows, that spot makes Pipkens Superman in this event. The Kryptonite for him could be a school of fish that got pounded.
