Got out for alittle bit today


Just wanted to give you all something for your fridge to stand out next to all of your other basic greeting cards from the rest of your family and friends!
Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays SUF Family!
Currently on the phone with DNR to report a new species. This explains all the popped floats and paddle boards reported by local lake residents.
Don’t sleep on merthiolate in the fall/winter.

As Promised here is the first fish on the Workhorse today. Caught four in total from the back of my buddy’s boat. Rod looks & feels great, (Even though gloves were a must all day.) Could feel the bites well and the bottom. Can’t complain when your first fish on a new rod is 2lbs and some change.
Thanks again sir for building it! Will get another when I have another one break. Send thanks again to your wife again in the shipping department.


Cold day with the high of 45 degrees and the water temp 47 degrees. Threw a rattle trap over rocky points in less than 10 feet. Caught two with the lunker over 4lbs. Funny, didn’t seem so cold then 😀.


Only had a couple hours on the water, but man it was good. 5.7 pounder.


Couldn’t stand it so I got out and walked the bank. Jordan Lake caught this little guy on a 1/8 ounce plastic craw




Brian Barde and Kevin Skovenski ... Single digits!!!???!!! No wonder Kevin has come to the SUF championships the past 2 years with fresh new babies! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣




Went out for a couple of hours today before the next cold snap in Virginia. Forced a smile when my buddy caught the lunker of the day 😀






A couple hours with the kayak on Lake Lanier yesterday paid off for a couple good ones…. Kietech slow retrieval






Did some research the night before with my Lowrance app to locate points, contours and depth I wanted to fish. Our area had its first rain in over 3 weeks. Start of the day was 45 degrees and the rain stayed longer than forecasted. (Questioned why I was out in the weather).
Rain stopped around 1pm and sun came out with the wind picking up. Water temperature was 46 degrees and the air temperature was rising. Caught three nice bass on a crankbait in the next two hours. Bouncing it off of rock and wood laydowns in 5 to 10 of water with deeper water nearby.
Love it when a plan comes together!
