It’s going to be quite interesting to see the “Lures of the Top 12” story after this tournament is over. It seems you can catch bass on anything you want to try at Lake Travis right now.
“I had 20 rods on the deck during practice, and I caught fish on every one of them,” said Fred Roumbanis yesterday. “I mean everything. I think you’re going to see guys catch a hundred bass a day. I don’t know if we’ve ever seen that in an Elite Series tournament.”
Brett Hite echoed those thoughts, saying, “You can catch them from 40 feet to the surface right now and anywhere in between. You can catch them on a moving bait, a twitch bait, drop baits, stick baits – it really doesn’t matter.”
What aren’t in abundance are bass measuring the 14-inch minimum.
“You can catch a hundred without ever catching a keeper,” said Wesley Strader. “Yes, you can. That’s what’s crazy. You can catch a hundred 13-inchers.”
