Mill Creek leads High School Open

Mill Creek’s 5-bass limit—weighing 17 pounds, 5 ounces—put them in the lead Day 1.
DANDRIDGE, Tenn. — For Noah Pecitelli and Westin Sachs, the game plan is all about applying local knowledge on a strange lake.
Doing so paid off Thursday for the two anglers from Mill Creek High School located in Buford, Ga. The team’s 5-bass limit weighing 17 pounds, 5 ounces, has them in the lead at the Bassmaster High School Open presented by Carhartt.
The local knowledge comes from Lake Sidney Lanier. The strange water is Douglas Lake. During summer you’ll find the bass in both impoundments inhabiting deep, current-rich water offshore.
