Linda, the largemouth, and Sally, the smallmouth from this evenings trip.

Well SUF fam, I can finally quote our great professor Phd. Brian Latimer ... "Thems like the ones I catch !!!".... Small shad like soft plastics did the trick for me on Saturday!!! I was able to get out to a lake the day before it shuts down for public fishing. It's only my third time fishing the lake. Caught this 20.5 in/ 3.5 lb Spot .... from the deep side of the boat. I don't know the exact depth since I don't use electronics...
Caught him on a 3\16 oz Texas Eye jig head (love those jig heads) with a 4" Pearl Blue Glimmer Diesel Minnow. Definitely a one of a kind fish had a lot of character and scars. The lip was actually partially pulled off... #olsnatchandgrab #javorslucaslake #fromthedeepsideoftheboat

2nd ever buzz bait fish

Fished my local reservoir, crazy 80 degrees today in Virginia. Water temperature was 65 with water clarity 12 inches. Caught one bass on a spinnerbait early but they didn’t seem to be chasing bait. Found a rocky ledge in 20 feet and caught 4 bass on a free rig with black/blue craw. Good day and no tricks for Halloween 🎃.

So this is the same day and location. My son is still trying to communicate while.i photograph... At or around the 8 second mark you hear the same breathy voice saying what believe to be... "He's alive". What do y'all think?

I got out with my buddy’s small boat and went way up river to the shallows in my local reservoir. Water clarity was less than a foot but caught fish in 3-4 feet. Started with the spinnerbait and caught 1. Running the spinnerbaits threw dying grass, rock and wood laydowns but no further bites. Had a thought to throw the jerkbait around rocks and immediately change to it. Caught two good ones. Had a weightless fluke tied on but wasn’t feeling it until the sun warmed up. Then hung the fluke around some laydowns and caught two more.
Smiled when my buddy caught the biggest of the day on a spinnerbait.

Fall fishing has not been on fire but when I get a bite they have been good ones. No dinks!

Best kept secret in the military. Of course we fish on Army ships around the world. Here’s a sample from 1999 off of Cozumel Mexico on the USAV 2034 Perryville. Go Army!

Fall fishing today. They seemed to like the bladed baits today in less that 6 feet of water near drop offs. I forced a smile when my buddy caught a bigger fish. 😀
