Had a fun day today fishing in our club tournament on Saratoga Lake. I have not fished there in about a year. Ended up getting third. I was junk fishing with a 3/8 Jewel Bait jig with Berkley Chigger Craw using my 7' MH Fast rod on docks, weeds, and lily pads. Used ZMan 1/2 oz Blue gill spinner bait with slim Keitech green pumpkin paddle tail for a couple of undersized ones and a couple of pickerel. I was also fishing with a senko on the docks and caught one. I caught most of them very shallow. I had two good ones on, and I horsed them too much; they may have gotten me into 2nd or 1st. It is actually nice to turn off FFS and just focus on the visual stuff.

This week I got to fish with some of my fishing club buddies on the St. Lawrence River. I really enjoyed my time with them fishing for fun and slight competition. Some wanted to catch the most fish and me, I wanted to catch big fish. I had a ton of fun fishing a crankbait. While I did not catch the most fish I did catch some quality fish and improved my PB Smallmouth to 5lbs 7oz. Sometimes you need to just fish in a way that makes you happy. I am thankful for the BLat knowledge and my boater who was willing to try something different. š

I saw a little cove off the main lake and idled back to escape a wake boat. I noticed a slight water flow. Found this 25.25 inch in 5 feet of water tucked up against a concrete wall.

Did some fun cranking today on the St Lawrence River. Caught this PB Smallmouth at 5lbs and 7 ounces. B.Lat has taught me well.

Today marks 3 years to the day I caught my PB (9lbs 2oz). My casual approach toward bass fishing went away in the blink of an eye. I've been on a pursuit for a double digit bass since. It's been pretty much an obsession since. Fishing nearly 365 except storms with lightning.
Who else can remember their pb like it was yesterday?
