Lake Barkley last week
I couldn't let Ricky Taylor have all the fun. So I had to spruce up the ol' Outlaw too. Added some decals and a Garmin Striker Vivid 7SV.... Gonna take her out tomorrow and get familiarized with everything. All I can say is it's amazing what you can do with a rod sock. I have some other ideas in mind as well, like adding some split corrugated tubing around the anchor wizard rope to help prevent hook snags. Also I'm pretty sure the big fish usa is not going to stay. So I'll be ordering the smaller size to replace it.
Was Able to get out this weekend on Lake Norman. Decide to throw a crankbait after watching the workshop. Caught 7 spots this was the biggest one.
After all the talk of fishing humps and ditches last night I hit the lake today and found this guy off the steep side off a hump! He fully committed to this crankbait, what a fun bite! I really enjoyed the discussion last night and I’m looking forward to part 2
My daughter and I had a great time this weekend! 18 fish between the 2 of us and she caught her PB, 1.72 lbs 17in
Had to go defend the 2024 ACBM title with a dub to start year.
I tried to catch them deep, but it wasn’t happening for me. Every fish came on a Green Pumpkin Shakey in 5-10 ft of water near lay downs.
Weather was 37° with off and on rain ☔️. Not the biggest field because of it but a win is a win. Took home the big fish pot as well.
Shout out to Brian Latimer for the recent lake map break down on Belews Creek
and the SUF hoodie that kept me warm all day.
Best of luck to everyone with upcoming tournaments!
