Is Springtime Leveling The Technological Curve?
When it seemed like you just couldn't compete without forward facing sonar on your boat, mother nature showed up and evened the playing field. Three recent tour level wins did not include the exclusive use of forward facing sonar in order to bring home the hardware. With fish flooding to the bank to spawn, and rapidly rising waters due to springtime floods, the new technology took a backseat to good old fashioned target fishing for Bill Lowen and John Cox, while Ott Defoe mixed in a variety of tactics to bring home his third major title from the state of Texas. Look for this pattern to change as the post spawn bite should dominate the remainder of the tour schedules.
5. Baits Not Being Talked About
