David Willimas holds lead after Day 1 of the Southern Open on Lake Norman-Pic’s and results here

Teaser image:

Tough 1st day out on Lake Norman for Day 1 of the Sothern Open. Lots of 8 and 10 Lb bags with a few above that. Fish were biting better yesterday than they have for most of the week according to AC Pro Staffer Rob Digh. He also claimed that they were more shallow than expected with water temps in the low 70’s. Here are some pictures of the weigh-in yesterday plus full boater results-with severe weather moving in late today the winds will be up and more cloud cover, so look for better weights this afternoon!!
