FLW Championship 2012 Day 1

I was partnered with Derick Hicks for day 1, a somewhat local from Georgia.. We traveled 50 miles south of the launch in his Bullet Bass Boat..  We had a good day on the water,conversation was great and he is a pretty good partner for the day.  The water we were fishing was cleaner than any I had fished during practice.  Most of our fish come on spinnerbaits thrown around lay down trees and along the bank.. I did catch fish on a white and black square bill crank, a RC square bill in a ghost shad pattern and a white spinner bait.. My biggest fish came on the W/B crank around a lay down.  I finished 47 on day 1 with a weight of 3.12 ...
