A couple hours on Lanier today, not big ones but had fun catching a few about this same size. Multi-facet day with drop shot and some top water action. Points and bridge pilings
So this what fishing in retirement is going to be like 😀. Not a sole at the ramp and Lanier is flat without another boat around. I think I’m going to love this new chapter 😂. No more weekends on Lanier!!
Stay till the last bit of daylight. When are the days getting longer again? 🤔
In a previous class we talked about schooling fish/bass. Never really gave it much thought as an application for up North….fast forward to my tournament yesterday I learned something new. Smallmouth and Largemouth will swim with the white bass and chase bait in open water. Im talking in over 90ft of water. We all saw it the day of the tournment, fish busting the surface and birds going nuts. But only one guy had the thought to go throw a 3” minnow in the middle of it. Justin in our club had 19.5lbs by 7:30am because of doing that. Including a 6lber in his bag which is rare up here. Has my brain wheels turning…
Playing around with the Ned rig in shallow water around grassy points
Ps. don’t mind my singing lol
Last club tournament of the year today. Sad to see the season end but looking forward to breaking down everything I learned this year. Took 3rd overall and almost won big bass today with a 5.17. Smallmoufth were being difficult so when in doubt hit the docks and catch a 5lber.
Well, if you look closely, you’ll notice I’m not in the picture I’ve shared! I fished the championship for the club I run on Lake Bowen. I held the lead throughout the entire weigh-in with a 3.6 I punched out of the pads. Lo and behold, the last two fish weighed in were a 3.10 and a 6.14, knocking me right out of the money and out of the championship. That’s fishing for you! 😂
Fast forward to the picture I’ve shared. Two of my boys fishing a derby with a different club on a different lake absolutely put on a show, dropping 40.13 lbs in their best five fish! Now that’s just too unreal not to share! Couldn’t be happier for these guys. Sometimes you don’t get the outcome you’re looking for, but getting to watch your people succeed makes it all worth it!
Tight lines, SUF Fam! 🎣
Good day! Caught two largemouth; one on a plopper and the other on a Ned rig. Not sure my pics will pass though. I see why a good bump board matters.
