BLat’s most recent post about geek about geeking out and how it relates to confidence got me thinking. what’s the path back when you reach a point where you lack that confidence in basically anything related to fishing? Which got me thinking about last year’s retreat and the session about confidence bridge. It made me wonder if there a recording of that session somewhere in the app?

Don’t overthink things but PLEASE DO GEEK OUT!!! Be a NERD. Be a scientist. There’s a big difference

Found a quality bite today on the chatterbait mini

Been a few months since I’ve posted—life’s been busy. Got out to practice for the derby I run on my home pond at Lake Bowen and managed to stick a couple solid 3-pounders.

Tournament day rolls around and wouldn’t you know it… I got humbled and took home smallest fish of the derby with an 11-ouncer.

Funny how this sport we love can make you feel like a hero one day and keep you humble the next. That’s fishing. 🎣

Final product first try at Blueback Herring!! Really happy with how this one came out.

Working on Perch 2 a candy cane and a bunker next.
