Tommy Biffle encountered Stetson Blaylock on his first stop of the day. Blaylock caught two keepers and Biffle boated one bass and then he moved on. It appeared not so much a move to avoid the presence of Blaylock as part of a plan. Biffle is making frequent, short stops on the lower lake at what are obviously hidden gems below the surface. His intimate knowledge of each offshore spot, how it sets up in these conditions, and the very piece of cover where he’ll cast next are all calculated moves. No one else can dial into fish at such a rapid pace without the extent of knowledge that Biffle has on this lake.
Beyond his strong sense of fish behavior are the changing conditions setting up in Biffle’s favor. As reported by Shaye Baker, the water is on the rise. For shallow anglers that means calculating bass movement accordingly as the fish move. For Biffle it might mean his fish are more likely to remain stationary on the cover than move.
