Allen fishing shallow

We've pulled up on leader Randy Allen. He's back in a pocket off the main lake. That's unusual because most of the action up until now has taken place out on the main lake. Points. Offshore. Nothing this shallow.

 

He also called an audible on us. Good thing we followed him instead of inquiring ahead of time. This is an unplanned stop but could pay off big.

 

Bait is everywhere. Birds are circling overhead. Fish are boiling.

 

Our local boat driver says he's not seen this type of setup in some time.

 

Not surprisingly, with all of the bait in this pocket Allen is casting an umbrella rig.
