Why the Wheels Fell Off: Lake Murray

Hot spots run out, get moved in on by others and change with conditions, but the 2014 Forrest Wood Cup wasn't about spots. Lake Murray's deep fish followed roving herring, and shallow fish were widespread. Therefore, most pros changed areas daily, moved frequently through the day or stayed on the move all the time. Some ran specific patterns, while others junk-fished.

Unpredictable action, including inexplicable hero-to-zero days, began during practice, and everyone knew the uncertainty would continue through the tournament. Of course, knowing that today's action promises nothing about tomorrow doesn't make it any easier when the bite actually tapers and keeps you out of a cut or prevents you from finishing the job, especially when you're fishing for half a million dollars and the title of world champion.

We asked several pros that experienced a costly drop-off to share their perspective on what went wrong.
