Thought of Tron and caught 8 or 9 of these in 35 foot of water this Friday. I was fishing a natural sinkhole to test a new rod and reel combo for deep water. Super clear water and using the Doodle method, but with a heavier jig head and minnow. I didn’t upsize the bait on purpose but FFS showed the window of opportunity and I decided to try the method anyway. I consider myself lucky to be in a climate and the SUF community where we can try new things all year long. #makeeverycastcount
Won 1st place in Greg Blanchards November monthlong tournament...1st place out of 19 anglers... I'll take that.! Won a bunch of tackle too.!
I got to spend some time on Lake Norman this weekend while I was back home for Thanksgiving break.
Tried a new technique today with the Damiki Vault blade bait in 20 feet of water. Caught one but I think I learned something. Looking forward to trying it again.
Happy Thanksgiving SUF Family!
Had about 45 minutes to fish under a spillway in Okc on the Oklahoma river. Rigged up a Keithtech 3inch minnow on a Ned rig. I pinched off the first two inches of the minnow and caught my first river bass. Straight retrieve. It was on the ultralight rod 4lb test super fun fight.
Don't sleep on those shallow weeds (especially the water willow) this time of year. I figured out if they weren't out chasing they were holed up somewhere. I started flipping and punching the weeds and was able to make a come back in the tournament from the bank. BLat said they would be in the thickest or the thinnest part of the weeds and he nailed it. Here's a 7lb 5oz from yesterday that I wish I had caught a week earlier. Thank God she was in the thickest of the thinnest weeds.
Got 5 Youncers on moving baits today in 53 degree water temps. Crankbaits and spinnerbaits on rocky bluffs. Bulk up your spinnerbaits in cold water.
Well... of course the day AFTER our Fall Classic ended I catch the bass that would've put me into the top 10.... I'll settle for 11th place tho... it was a fun month... I can't wait till the championship..!!! (And this time I won't prefish Clark's Hill by mistake again. Lol)
I caught this bad boy during the live. I’m trying to get me one of them Robes 😁
