Barde guide service is worth the money today on Lake Russell.

Breaking in the custom made Barde Rod at Lake Russell during the retreat. First fish was a 17 1/2 spotted bass. Not bad, Thanks Barde.

Putting those techniques to use on Lanier from the retreat…. 5+ fish on a drop shot…. Water is very clear…. Using a sand dead ringer

I took a local high school angler that reached out to me to a local lake to help him prep for his regional tournament. Showed him a few "secret" things to make his trip memorable. The next generation helping the next generation.

4th of day 2

Made it to the 2025 SUF School Retreat, and what a way to start! Spent the day on Lake Russell, and it did NOT disappoint! The fishing was solid, but the best part was meeting all the awesome anglers/classmates who showed up today. Can’t wait to get back out there for another day on the water!

8 fish now on day 2

I'm late but I'm here and all plugged in! Son slept in SMH...

3rd one of day 2

Well we didn't get on any today. I got psyched out by my transducer cable coming unplugged and stressing about whether or not I was going to have to buy a new one... But it's all good now... LoL now I know when it says check your connections... That means all of them. 🤣🤣🤣 See y'all in the AM! No luck but little man sure put in some work.
