There wasn't a keeper reported from any of our six Marshals in the first hour today, which was surprising. But the fog is lifting and patches of blue sky are showing, and that appears to be making a difference. Or maybe it's just a matter of these guys getting dialed-in.
Leader Brandon Gray of Bullock, N.C., is crankbaiting a dropoff near the mouth of Cox Creek, like he has been all week, and he just put a 17-inch largemouth in his livewell.
John Stewart recently landed a 1 1/2-pound spotted bass. And Royce Davis topped them both with a 3-pound largemouth.
