A remarkable fact about Lake Fork is transpiring now, as some of the top anglers await better things to come.
“I’ve got to wait until around 1 o’clock when the spot reloads.” Lee Livesay just made that comment on the Bassmasters coverage on Fox Sports 1.
Livesay has a zero on the BassTrakk scoreboard, and he’s not at all stressed.
“They’ll show up, that’s just how it works here.”
Livesay, of course, has an advantage of knowing where and when such circumstances occur on his home lake. Livesay was in the right place, at the right time, on the first two days, when he weighed 32-0 and 28-10, respectively.
Brandon Palaniuk’s comment emphasized what all that means.
“The bigger fish travel in groups, and you’ve got to wait for them to position in the key areas, and they do that later in the afternoon.”
Even so, Lake Fork is showing out as it always does. The fishing is on fire after the first 90 minutes. Gerald Swindle and some of the other top leaders are camped out on their sweet spots. BassTrakk shows Swindle with 26 pounds, and in the lead. Josh Stracner has 28-3, and Brandon Palaniuk has 16-11.
The point is that today, there might be two options. Just camp out and let the fish come to you, as Swindle is doing, or wait for productive spots to reload.
