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! 🎣

Decided to give the river a break today... and my body too... River fishing is great in the summer, but its a lot of physical work.. dragging over shoals, going 20 to 25 miles a trip can wear a 63 year old body down..So I decided to hit Lake Sinclair in Milledgeville Georgia today...Im still here, and so far it hasnt disappointed..!

In October our second workshop is going to be on old school techniques. There’s so much news on new lures and really not a in-depth teaching on how to fish rigs of the early days.

These techniques and rigs still catch bass and pros often use them. They aren’t fancy, expensive or new so there’s very little information on them.

I’m inviting some of my pro friends to join me in the workshop as well. We’ll cover things like

- Tubes

- Carolina rig

- split shot rig

- lipless crankbaits

- floating worm

- spinnerbaits

None of these are expensive or attractive to make YouTube videos about. However all of these are very affective and can be a good lure for you to catch bass on NOW
