Pipkens?! That was a tough bucket. I went Garrett but probably won’t stay there… I went 117 myself on the tie breaker. Gonna be nasty! Thanks for the breakdown!
Personally I think we'll see five century belts. It's hard to go against Milliken right now. I also predict Bill Lowen is gonna be a sneaky surprise for some people. Brandon Cobb has some luck as well. Maybe I can get some redemption on my fantasy. I feel like my drain the lake is gonna be another good one though, Dont know why I used livesay for last week dropped the ball there lol
As to Fork, its kind of its own entity. According to forecasts, there shouldn't be a huge change in water temps on the main lake, but the very back of the creeks have shown some low 60's. The temps will depend on how low it gets at night. As long as night time air temps aren't lower than the main lake temps, then it won't be as big of a factor. Overall, the shallow push for spawn is early relative to the last couple of years, BUT that doesn't mean that the shallow bite will prevail because at the end of the day it will still depend on overall light intensity/penetration rather than water temp. All that said, you will be able to fish many different patterns on different parts of the lakes. The biggest trick is to determine which part of the lake (meaning location and depth) is in play at any given point. That can and will change hour to hour. The one who figures out the where/when with the right presentation has the best chance to win. The more flexible and willing to change at the drop of the hat has the best chance to prevail.
I think Fork fishes like Toledo did. Water Temps too cold for a push to the bank yet, so FFS will dominate out deep again. I'm running Walters, Patrick, Livesay, Cifuentes and Welcher. Currently 53rd and 7th in your group. Good luck HB! 💪
@@HellaBass I think the key to a good team is picking "scopers" that are willing to follow the bass if they go shallow on Sat/Sun. Already have a few in mind. 😉
Lee may wanna cut down on the bush cause Milliken is a hammer even tho the both fish team 6th sense. i dont think Lee is gonna make it.. i got my money on Milliken..
Pretty sure Livesay will be beat by anyone better than him with FFS. Still looking at FFS being dominate all year at any level at any event. So far its started that way and don't see anything that it wouldn't play a huge part in. But maybe just maybe he will get good at it enough and be able to compete with the other scopers.
@@HellaBass eh I'm sure some will do good shallow, but something I've learned over my years !and especially with ffs there's always way more fish offshore. It's just common sense if every fish in a lake was on the shore at the same time u catch a fish every cast. Someone's going to win offshore with ffs for sure
@@HellaBass soon we won't learn anything from the pros everything will be won with ffs. I like zaldains video on the cost of electronics ppl have on their boats it is getting out of control at every level. Even in clubs u got dudes eith 10k of electronics and that doesn't count the 5k spotlock lol the sport is literally a joke
@Theburningseason I think the pros are teaching a ton, it's just not what you are interested in. I do think we need a tech cap, 60" of screens, 4 total duces regardless of 2d,.side, ffs etc

Fork is already early on the spawn push to the shallows. However, that doesn't mean that will be the key to the win.
Agreed, I think it is too early

10 it was!
@@HellaBass after day one I thought 10 would lol
Is there a primer on how to do the fantasy fishing bit?
Maybe this vid will help with that - ua-cam.com/video/2hwyZaTePIE/v-deo.html

Game on!
They’re spawning rn on Fork
@bayouburner281
I've seen that. Been watching UA-cam reports all day. Look like I'll be switching up the team a bit. 😂
I am gonna hold pat, even when they start to spawn still more behind them...

good call on Milliken

You were correct
i'll take Big Ben Milliken, he will dethrone Lee Livesay!
Would be epic to see a final day battle between Ben & Lee!
Lol livesay doesn't stand a chance he is outnumbered by ffs it'll be won same as last weekend 20 to 40 foot spinning rod
Can't wait to see how it shakes out

@@Theburningseason I agree it will be won offshore and FFS will be a component of it

He will catch 6 bags of rice is my prediction
Is that good or bad?
HES NOT A LIVE SCOPE OR FFS GUY…..HE HAS NO CHANCE….
I am pretty sure he has FFS on his boat
