On a still, sunny morning in mid-June, noted crappie guide Todd Huckabee was fishing Oklahoma’s Lake Eufaula with an elderly couple who had hired his services for the day. The trio was dipping jigs next to standing trees on a main-lake flat when Huckabee glanced at a flock of terns swooping and diving in the distance.
When you spend 300 days a year on the water as Huckabee does, you are quick to recognize an opportunity and take advantage of it. Huckabee told his clients to reel in, and he idled toward the terns. When he got to the open area in the trees where the birds were feeding, he saw a small shad jump out of the water. Then he noticed subtle “V” wakes cutting across the surface, some as long as 20 feet.
