Breakfast at Betty's

Breakfast at Betty's

(Editor's note: This comes from industry rep Alan McGuckin, who's on-site this week at Lake Seminole.)

> Five lures Shaw Grigsby will have tied on today as he tries to follow-up the 30-pound limit he caught on day 1 – His selection includes a Red Eye Shad, a swimjig, a Rage Blade, a Cut R worm, and a white Strike King Rage Craw on a 7/0 Trokar hook.

> Four colors of Red Eye Shad lures that KVD is carrying on Lake Seminole – Carp (a great early spring color when water is stained; chili craw (anywhere in early spring from Michigan to Texas); sexy shad (for slightly stained water when shad are present); gold sexy shad (for clear water when shad are present). He typically throws these lures on 17-pound fluorocarbon with a Quantum TKVD705MB rod.

> Three things Terry Scroggins will try to do better Friday on the heels of a bad day q that left him in 75th place – 1. Get an earlier takeoff number that will hopefully help him avoid sharing bedding fish with competitors. 2. Take advantage of warmer temps that should lead to improved fishing. 3. Adjust quicker to whatever weather changes take place throughout Friday.

> Two set-ups that helped Casey Ashley win $100,000 last week at the Lake Hartwell FLW Tour – His biggest fish bit a green-pumpkin jig thrown with a Quantum EXO baitcaster, but a size 30 Smoke spinning reel rigged with a shaky-head was critical to completing his 5-bass limit each day.

> One place that Grigsby eats breakfast nearly every morning he’s at Lake Seminole – Betty’s Cafeteria. Located at 1500 Dothan Highway in Bainbridge, Ga., just a short hop from the launch ramp, you’ll find Shaw there nearly every morning, along with founder Betty, her daughter Lois and son Mike (pictured). An old Field & Stream story autographed by Grigsby hangs framed on the wall, along with lots of Florida State signage. They’re also open for lunch.
