Top 5 finish Kerr Lake ABA Tournament 4/20/24

In todays video guys I'm fishing an ABA derby at Kerr Lake. Despite a fog delay of an hour or so turned out to be a good day of fishing. Caught them all pitching and flipping a free rig around flooded bushes and the base of hardwood trees. Enjoy!

Thanks man! Water is up to a little over 302. They are spawning and the bite is pretty good!👍🏻

New subscriber...Great video. Just wondering what free rig weight you use. 1st time I've ever seen that technique. Pretty awesome. Thanks for any info.

Hey man thanks for subscribing. I personally use the Woo tungsten cylinder style drop shot weights. They are called invisashot weights. I like tungsten and Woo is who I have been using last couple years …. You could use lead or tungsten it’s personal preference. I use from 1/4 oz to 1/2 oz depending on depth I’m fishing. I just like the feel of tungsten better. Hope this helps. Feel free to message me if you have anymore questions. Thanks for commenting and supporting the channel! Much appreciated!!👍🏻👍🏻🔥

Yeah Kerr has always been one of my favorite places to fish. It’s a beautiful place. And pretty big. Over 50,000 acres of water I believe. Thanks for watching 👍🏻

Nice , first 5 are the hardest…..congratulations

[@rjcornett179trx]

Yeah seems like that’s the biggest challenge at times getting 5 in the boat. Had a decent day a lot of bites just no big bite. Thanks for watching!👍🏻👊🏼

great job man i was down there last year doing a BFL shenandoah div. now i know what to use

[@rjcornett179trx]

You fish BFLs as a co? I did that for like 7-8 years. Got a second on the Potomac. A few other checks but the 2nd was my best finish. I kind of got tired of that deal though. Wanted to start making front of the boat decisions. I fished a few as a boater as well. But could never do well enough to get a check.
