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!

grouped up schools suspended, minnow above, through, or hopped up near them would not make them compete for a bite. I swapped to the flutter spoon and they activated almost instantly pulled the school and 3 missed so I let it fall past the misses and the bigs in the school attacked and she was big. 5lb 3oz, 21.5in

Hey everyone! Trying to gain some confidence in the neko and the jighead minnow. Yesterday’s conditions looked like they would line up for it so I put my head down and managed to grab a few small ones! Bites on the neko came from getting it as close to bridge pylons as possible and bites on the minnow came from slow rolling it off of a bluff wall. Hoping to target more offshore structure with these baits once I’m confident in them.

BLat preaching the truth on fall cranking. Caught a few today on my local reservoir. 3.9lbs was the largest one.

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).
