Toho Midday Report Day 2
Stacey King is out in front with Kenney gaining steam and the bite picking up across the board
If you’ve been following the FLW On The Water feed, you might have seen a slight uptick in the reports in the last hour or so. A crisp north wind, which was cold enough to force many anglers into their rain gear this morning, seems to have tapered off to a breeze. Down south on Kissimmee the sun is shining. And as the weather has improved, so too has the bite – as evidenced by the sudden surge in fish-catching reports.
The increase in action is good news for many anglers who experienced slower fishing this morning than yesterday. Stacey King, who came into today in second place, is among that group.
Unfortunately for day-one leader JT Kenney, “slow” for King is still pretty good. He’s got a limit, including a pair of 4-pounders, and has already culled. That makes King our unofficial leader right now.
Kenney needed some time this morning to pick up his first fish. He then went on a flurry and currently has four keepers for about 9 pounds. Kenney and King are in a tight race to stay out in front of a pack of anglers such as Lionel Botha and Luke Clausen, who are in the top five and putting decent fish in the box.
In all, no one has made a major move this morning, save for maybe Adrian Avena. He caught an early morning toad. The midday period will be critical to anglers with early check-in times (weigh-in begins at 3 p.m. ET). Pros in the later flights could capitalize on the afternoon window after the water has had time to warm.
The warm-up should push more bass into the shallows as the day progresses. Most of the pros that our OTW team has watched are up there waiting. They’re fishing slowly with soft plastics in a variety of vegetation types. Some pros are staying put and waiting for new bass to move in, while others are hopping from one hole to the next in hopes of pulling up when bigger bass are already there.
Stay tuned to the On The Water feed over of the Lake Toho tournament page for nonstop updates. Then check back in for the day-two weigh-in on FLWFishing.com at 3 p.m. ET.
Today’s moving day, and we could see some major shake-ups across the board.
