There’s been a lot of talk this week about how critical it is to find one or two ‘’magic trees” that will reload, out of the hundreds of thousands of cypress trees on this fishery. Want a good illustration of just how magical a couple trees can be, and how important they are?
There are 170,000 acres of water open to our Elite field. The Top 10 anglers have caught 26 keepers in 7 hours so far on the final day. Six of those came off two trees. That’s 23%, nearly a quarter of the bass caught today, all coming off just two trees, in an inland ocean full of them. Luke Palmer caught four of his fish off one tree early today. Mark Menendez caught two 6-pounders off one tree almost instantly this morning.
