Teen has great birthday at Douglas Lake Open
Thursday, April 15, 2021
Douglas Lake gave Jackson Swisher a generous birthday gift with a five-fish limit of 16-15 that lead day 1 of the Bassmaster Southern Open on the French Broad River impoundment.
Turning 19 Thursday, the Lake City, Fla. resident devoted his day to fishing bluffs close to the Douglas Dam. The pattern delivered a productive day and included a 5-10 fish thats in the lead for Phoenix Boats Big Bass honors.
Swisher targeted the vertical rock walls with a 7-inch white Megabass Magdraft swimbait. He said he dialed in his pattern during practice, but today yielded a favorable twist.
