Welp... Update time. When you fish points it pays off! My son caught 10 trout! I set the hook on a couple for him but he reeled them in. Actually hooked 12, but we let two kids that were fishing next to us catch them and keep them since they had not caught anything yet... The only thing better than getting paid to fish... Is getting paid to watch and help kids fish. He didn't place in the top three but had to be close. His two biggest were a 2.5 and 2.3 pounds. Anyone have any good trout recipes? Hahaha!
First and second open water fish of 2025! I will post the 3rd fish of 2025 and my new PB in another post. It feels good to have some sunshine.
Looks like we’ve got those red eyes in VA!
Had another successful day on a new lake. Threw everything at them today and even reached out to Mack for some advice—he suggested working a ned rig on some points. After some trial and error and a lot of used plastic baits, I finally got three to bite on a Texas-rigged Kreature bait, dragging it slooooooowly along submerged logs near a few points.
Last night’s class was FIRE (my 12 yr old is teaching me new lingo)! If you missed it… ouch.
After listening to Mack talk about getting back to your roots, I decided to turn off the graph and start hammering docks and shoreline like it was 110 degrees outside. It finally paid off with a solid bite on a Minimax ChatterBait paired with a Z-Man Goat trailer.
I’ve officially caught my winter bass, and not by staring out of a shanty window on a frozen lake!
4th of the day from Sunday in central FL. One short of a limit and all were about the same size. However it was good to catch again. Now back to cold NY.
Here are some things you thought you never needed but will soon realize you can't live without...
The Kayak Cart from Vevor. They have dodfer options for different needs but I have the one pictured.
The Rod Mule... This is a freaking life saver! Up to 10 rods in one trip. Don't mind if I do, and I did!
