June 9, 2012, Rodney Oberdick from Felton, DE took First Place and $624.00 in the Maryland, Division 11 American Fishing Tour with 5 bass weighing 18.31 pounds. He had his work ahead of him with almost no clouds to cool the 90 degree air and very little wind to catch a breeze. Rodney’s overcame these obstacles by staying on the move all day, beginning upriver in the morning; with low tide he threw top water baits in the mouths of creeks. As the tide came in he moved down river to main river and creek mouths to top off his limit using soft plastics. It was the moving from place to place to pick off a good keeper that made his day successful.
