Me and my youngest son went fishing for a little while this evening. Caught this 3 lb 2 oz LM on a fluke in grass beside this dock. Per Brian’s instruction - we were focused on the predominant feature of the lake - grass/weed beds along the bank.
I hung another one that looked to be similar in size but got hung up in the weeds and couldn’t get him out before he got off. We caught a few more but they were smaller.

Finished 3rd at Lake Anna for my club tournament today with 5 fish for 10 1/2 pounds. Lake was 75 degrees, 20 mph wind gusts and clouds in the morning. Bass are chasing shad so I used a wake bait above the thick hydrilla grass in the back of coves.

What tells me more about what should work…my lure or my retrieve? I found another good one this afternoon. Different lure this time (Zman willowvibe head with 4.5 Spunkshad). I picked it up after working a lipless crank bait for an hour in same area…no bites. The retrieve was to cast up to bank and work it up and down off bottom into deep water…bass would hit it falling or while laying on bottom. Does this tell me I should be fishing a different lure?

Took my dad with me this morning and landed my PB striper! My first time taking him out so it was a freaking blast getting to put him on some fish. Thankfully they were eating today. These were the best of the day, All on an 1/8oz jig head with a 3” paddle tail in wind blown pockets and coves

After listening to Brian and finally figuring out my favorite techniques I do well. Gave me a plan to execute. Here’s a little bit of what’s going on in Anderson SC…. Figured out after watching a ton of Bobby Barrack footage he explains the soluner a little bit each time you watch him fam. B can you ask him what calendar he uses when studying Solunar? Trying to put it together, so far the moon is so good. I’m killing it and having a blast! Thanks B-Lat and Bobby Barrack.

Finished 4th, really needed bigger fish to bite day 2. Fished super clean all weekend but I sat with a 12.75 in my bag for 4 hours and couldn't catch an upgrade. Great event and I had a blast. Looking forward to Alabama now 😀

A couple of 1.75-2lb spotted bass caught on BFS reel and ultralight rod on a Lucky Craft LC 0.5 squarebill. I know that not an "appropriate" crankbait setup but it sure is fun and between yesterday and today I caught probably somewhere in the neighborhood of 25-30 little spots on that exact setup! Most of them were very small - half a pound to 3/4 lb but a few respectable ones mixed in. But they were all a lot of fun on ultralight tackle.
I was going to post a video of me catching one of them but it seems the upload video portion isn't working.
I don't have this video uploaded to YouTube yet, but I have started a little YouTube channel. If y'all would check it out - I'd appreciate it! I just do it as a hobby for the fun of it. And I'm still learning how to do everything, so don't be too hard on me! But I will gladly accept constructive criticism!
