Atkins and Cobb Worked a Milk Run
While some anglers in the top 10 fished only a handful of spots to catch
their limits, winner Justin Atkins and third-place finisher Brandon Cobb had
dozens of waypoints to fish. In fact, their strategies were based on hole-hop-
ping through a milk run of cane piles each day, making only a few casts on
each spot and revisiting the best cane piles after the fish there had time to
reset. Both Atkins and Cobb primarily fished the far lower end of the lake,
including some of the same cane piles. Though all of their areas aren’t
shown, their primary spots are indicated here.
