Biggun!

Some Sunday sheenanigans.. trying to be like Brian Barde and get that century mark

What up Fam! I would say I'm back! But I never went anywhere just have not been able to do much of anything since I moved to day shift at the first of the October. I haven't been able to fish much because of the other obligations and a sciatica injury. So I have been taking it easy. Caught this little guy in the Ocmulgee River off a bridge piling. BUT!!!! I FINALLY got to see the Atlantic Sturgeon that swim up river to spawn that John Wilson has talked about. They were some monsters! A passing fisherman also told me there was a 9ft sturgeon in the hole I was fishing. Had a 6 ft and 4 ft swimming right under my kayak. You can't tell from the photos but they are definitely big sturgeon.

All of this fishing gear and this dude catches one by hand 😭

A couple 4s in practice today!! Buzz bait, and shaking a minnow for the bigger bites.

From the Bank to the Bank caught my new Personal Best 4.66lbs

Cranking a squarebill in a public pond

11 yesterday shaking a minnow, the conditions were perfect for it. A lot of dinks but one good LMB and a decent size speck! When the bite would die down, changing colors fired them back up. What a time!! Can’t thank yall enough for the knowledge shared in here, I’m improving every time I hit the water.

I got 3rd place in our GAKFL (Georgia Kayak Fishing League (championship tournament yesterday.. no ffs against all ffs, I'm waiting ti find out where I ended up in AOY points, probably around 3rd in that also.. And, I got 2nd place in Greg Blanchards nationwide October tournament....Next Saturday us my Championship with the other club I'm in, SEGKBF...Daniel Woodcock is our tournament director...super good dude.. I hope ti do good, it'll be on lake Sinclair..Last year I finished in 2nd place in AOY with his club, and last I checked, I'm sitting in 2nd again this year.. Can't wait till next year.!!

It took me 20 years of fishing trips to Canada catch a 40 plus inch northern.

I took a (3) day trip to the Northwest Territories expecting to catch a 40” every catch.

A cold front moved in before we arrived…the fish were tight lipped.

On the last day I used a fly from NC and a Hawaiian fly casting bomber on a whim the pike exploded out of the water like a tarpon.

My daughter had a blast.. ready to get a boat and learn how to catch bass on Hartwell.

Been a little dry spell of just catching little guys but this evening I got to go fish for a couple hours and was fortunate enough to get a few big enough that I felt they were worth boarding and submitting to the tournament.

I threw a crankbait, a buzz bait, and spinner bait, etc and couldn't buy a bite until right at dusk I started throwing a Megabass X80 Jr jerkbait and that's what I caught every fish on that I caught today.

I tried jerking the bait pretty hard, light twitches, very small feather like twitches but similar to what Fred James said in the live a couple days ago - in the end they just wanted a straight retrieve pretty much.

I would cast it out and let it sit until ripples dissipated. If I didn't have a fish by then, then I would twitch it a couple times and then just steadily retrieve it back to the boat. I caught multiple ones before I even started the retrieve - they would hit it while it was just sitting there while waiting on the ripples to dissipate.
