If you’re looking to make a few last minute changes to your Fantasy Fishing picks, here’s some valuable info you need to know: It has rained all day in Columbia, S.C.
Simply put, after four days of bright, white-hot conditions during the practice round for the Forrest Wood Cup, Wednesday’s day off saw zero sunshine, thick cloud cover and about 2 and a half inches of rain around the Columbia area.
This will cool the shallows off substantially going into the first competition day and change the playing field. Cooler, stained water should help the shallow fish bite better.
If your picks are top-heavy with deep-water pros, you might want to consider a few shallow water anglers. Shallow-water hounds like Andy Morgan, Bryan Thrift, Andy Montgomery, George Cochran and Randy Blaukat are chomping at the bit to get out there tomorrow morning after this rain today.
