Jeremy Starks won the recent Wheeler Bassmaster Elite Series by defending an area. He fished it lightly the first 3 days, and camped on top so nobody else could fish it.
As noted, Dudley did some of that today, and with the other interested parties now off the water, he's free to do a little wheeling and dealing tomorrow.
About his day, and his defense, he said: "It went well. I had to play a little bit of protecting today, because you can't move around with 200 boats. It's just one of those deals. When you have a 200-boat tournament, it comes down to a decision of which holes to go to, instead of which holes have the better fish.
"Between all of us, I elected to spend my time on the best one. They didn't. They didn't think it was as good as I did, or they would have started there. Read More |

It's BassFan's policy not to pursue pattern and location details until the conclusion of the tournament, but Dudley was quiet about a whole lot more than that. He declined to mention when he caught his fish, how many spots he's got, and other such nuggets Read More |

David Dudley’s 20 pounds, 2 ounces left him in the second place position after day one and by the time the Virginia native hit the bank this afternoon, his jaws were locked up tight.
“All I’m going to say is that I’m cranking ledges,” Dudley said. “Other than that, I’m not going to say a whole lot. I’ve got boats all around me – most of the boats are over there in Loudoun where I’m fishing and I don’t want to spill too much this early. GPS units and electronics are too good and these guys can figure out what I’m fishing if I say too much.”
Dudley did have an early boat number – 24 – which may have helped him get on his spot early, though he would not even reveal if that was a factor.

 Dudley was confident coming into the final day, but he’s never one to predict his performances. In his own words, he fished well mechanically but was just off with his decision making.
“The timing of my moves wasn’t right,” said the FLW Outdoors all-time leading money winner. “I think I was 30 minutes late sometimes or 30 minutes too early.” Read More |

Dudley takes fourth FLW Outdoors win at Wal-Mart FLW Series opener |
Virginia pro ‘fishes on instincts’ to secure a $125,000 payday in inaugural BP Eastern event
By Rob Newell - 27.Jan.2007
 CLEWISTON, Fla. – In the world of professional bass fishing, few pros fish on pure instinct as well as David Dudley. The Lynchburg, Va., pro has always had a sixth sense for being at the right place at the right time when bass are biting, especially when big money is on the line.
His uncanny talent has led him to one of the most impressive career résumés in tournament bass fishing: three FLW Outdoors wins, including the Wal-Mart FLW Tour Championship in 2004 and the Ranger M1 in 2002, and two BASS wins, not to mention being the FLW Outdoors leading money winner with $1,809,317.
On Saturday, Dudley added another winner’s trophy to his mantle and another $125,000 to his bank account by winning the Wal-Mart FLW Series BP Eastern Division event on Lake Okeechobee. Read More |
