I love it when they destroy a frog... This is actually the frog I got from Blat in my "gift box" at our Hartwell seminar..!

I was out there on Clark's Hill learning how to fish bridges, by listening to Blats Bridge fishing videos.. Some good info in them..

Clark's Hill this morning... Went fishing with Hannah Strother from 706 baits... Super sweet, awesome angler with the bling bling kayak.!!

Love when they eat the frog!!

Clarkshill topwater spotted bass. Fish are starting to school some. Hopefully it continues to get better if we can ever get any cooler weather. lol.

2026 has been awesome from fishing perspective so far. I am grateful for the BLat and SUF community. Thanks! I have come so far in a few years. 1% improvement over and over again.

I tried out a new jig. It works.

I fished a long stretch of water today and there were only two docks that were sticking out into the deeper water around 8’ deep. The rest of the docks were small and only got to 3-4’ of water on outside posts. I took my time and picked the water apart about an hour and a half total in 200 yards. I fished the grass between the docks and caught a few 1-2lb. I dropped a wacky rig to the outside posts on both deeper water docks and caught a largemouth on both. The docks were holding a 2-3/4 and 5-1/2lb bass. Like advised many times in videos and lessons here, staying off the trolling motor I believe is a huge factor. That’s one my goals for the rest of the season to work on boat control and setting up to drift to my target area.

When a catfish about swallowing your jig...

All my buddies have been slaying them in jigs, its definitely not a confidence bait if mine, thats why ive been throwing it more and more... trying to gain some confidence in it... now im confident itll catch big catfish.... lol

In the past 7-10 days I’ve fished in the local rivers. I’ve mostly been catching them between the grass and the shore on multiple baits. I have caught a couple In the openings in the grass, but seems most are looking towards shore. Normally I would’ve fished the edge of this grass out deeper quickly or skipped by, but now I slow down and pretty much stop at these spots where I see a noticeable separation between shore and the thick grass, and it’s been paying off. Tips I’ve learned here like staying off the trolling motor I beleive also helps a lot.
