> What they’re saying: “Fishing fast, running and gunning, covering as much water as possible,” said Derek Hudnall, a Baton Rouge, La., angler who finished 3rd at the Arkansas River Central Open. “It will take doing all of that to win the tournament.
"The backwaters could produce a big bite, but that will consume time getting into and out of those areas. Following the usual spring high-water periods, the river is clearing up, and the level coming down."
