My home lake has been pretty dead for some time. It’s been tough finding fish from the bank. Yesterday, after 5 hours with nothing to show for it, I stumbled on a section that looked dead. It was “dirty,” yet deep with noticeable algae. I was going to pass then saw movement. Threw a spinnerbait right at the reeds and immediately got a reaction and bite, but could hold on. Followed with a Z-Man Pop Frogz and watched a swirl and finally the big gulp. This may be my largest fish this season (4.2 lbs).

Finished the road trip at Alum Creek today. Did a lot of idling and scanning. Caught a couple nice ones. Learned some about the lake. There is A LOT of boat traffic. Can't wait to do it again over the the 4th.

I know it’s been a minute since I posted, but here’s a handful of bass from the past few weeks. 🎣
I’ve been putting time in learning new techniques—finally committing to throwing a squarebill, crankbait, and even a frog. I’ll be honest, it’s tough to put the wacky rig and drop shot down, but the crank and frog bites have been 🔥 lately.
Next up on the list: mastering the jerkbait. Can’t wait to see where it takes me.
What’s the bait you’ve been stepping outside your comfort zone with this season?

Regular season ended for me this last weekend finished 5/89, I would like to give thanks to Brian and the SUF community for teaching and helping me dial in my way of fishing this year. By far this year has been my best showing, but also my most comfortable on the water. Tournament of Champions in 2 weeks and looking forward to an amazing October.

We wrapped up a week of fishing in the Potomac River. Thanks, Ken, for showing me around and sharing your fishing expertise. Here are some pictures of a few bass and a couple of snakeheads I caught. Despite my efforts and hours spent on the river, I still haven’t figured out the best ways to catch bass on the Potomac River.

It looks more glorious than it was. I struggled all day on the Potomac River. I was in areas that showed bass and bait and weed but I could only get one of them to bite. It was a long day. Thanks Brian Latimer for sponsoring me in the first annual Angler Development Program on the boater side. After all 2025 Northern Division tournaments are complete, I am sitting in 18th in AOY. Should I go to regionals on the James River?
