I went bank robbing for my birthday yesterday and caught a couple of birthday bass. This was literally my last cast for the day.

I was fishing a spot for a good 45 minutes while eyeing this gap between emergent vegetation. Thought about all of the lessons about "places that look different" and bass ambushing bait. Wind was blowing my direction and you could see the current rushing between the vegetation. I kept saying I should throw over there. However I couldn't cast that far. So when it was time to go, I walked over for that "one last cast" and got hit. I casted far back from the water because I assumed the edge was soft. Good thing it wasn't because I had to get the fish out from getting hung-up.

Deep diving crank air catch fish in cold weather huh?? Yep sure does. I had to hit stuff to get these catches. You might lose a few (I lost about 4 this day) but they work. Every last fish I caught this day was on a deep diving crank bait parallel casting to the rock wall (Dam) behind me. You also need a hoodie like the one I got… that’s the magic.

Took a charter in FL during my birthday week. Unfortunately the guide couldn't get me on to anything until about an hour before the end. Fishing shiners is definitely not my favorite way to fish. However I do love catching fish! Look at the belly on this one!

Ended the year with a short day on Lanier today, big winds set in and had to head back to ramp. Love the Hobie Kayak as it stayed strong and balanced in the winds and white caps. Mother Nature always wins! Ned Rig on this little guy

Here's a pair from Lake Toho. This was my first time ever getting on a stack of fish right off some grass line. I've never caught so many big fish at one time. It was a good birthday week.

Yeah boy!!! Caught my last two fish of the year yesterday! Not to mention 🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁 my first bass on a top water walking style bait! That's a whole other bite right there. Nothing like using the tips and tricks from these classes to snag a "first fish". Murky water, dark baits. Saw some kingfishers on a buoy along with a couple of blips on the water. This definitely meant a top water bite... Then a couple twitch twitch twitch pauses later.... Doooooooooop! Love it! Hope y'all have a great New Year's Eve!
