So this weekend, I finished my very first live tournament only got two fish for the board broke off twice and one that was too small, but I enjoyed myself met a lot of good anglers And a plan to do it a lot more

Hello everyone!!!

Hope everyone is enjoying your day / weekend holiday and catching em.

I have a question-What do those who fish out their kayak do to secure your boat from being stolen?

Unfortunately today some greedy people stole my NK300 motor, NRS Vest and Ketch board out the back of my truck in less than 30 mins while I stepped inside a local business. The items were on a big Plano storage case.

Tough lesson learned today but just looking for suggestions on securing all kayak items in the back of the truck.

For Those Looking for Identifier tags for your measuring boards Mack referred everyone to this company !!!

Check em out !!

My most recent fun fishing memory was Santee Cooper we maybe moved 100 feet from 10:30 to 2:30 and caught bass on the shakey head one after the other! On a 4 ft flat that was big as a football field. It was actually the fist time I’ve ever felt confident that I figured them out and it felt Awesome! The best times I’ve had fishing has always been Greys lake outside Ferendale Ar. Catching big shell crackers and bluegills with my Grandpa and running trot lines at night only Catching mud cat or yellow cat whatever you want to call them and watching my old man come up and shake his head while my grandma was cook them old mud cat up on the at camp lol those where some of my best fishing memories for sure!

Bass do not read the books on fishing. Our weather has been rainy all week and a twenty degree drop in air temperatures. Today, I saw Barde post catching bass so that encouraged me to brave the 20mph winds. The local reservoir was muddy and choppy. My expectations were low.

Boy was I wrong. I caught fish on all my presentations. Spinnerbait, crankbait, Texas rigged craw, swim bait, fluke and I even got my first fish on a hollow belly frog. (Bobby inspired). Now I would not have won a tournament but I sure had a lot of fun getting bites. 😀

One of my fun moments, so I had posted some pictures of me at this power plant cooling lake last weekend.  This lake has this one specific area which feeds the main cooling area.  I would describe it as a spillway of sorts.  One of the main species of fish in this lake are catfish. 3 years ago when I first put my kayak in it and fished it for the first time, I made my way to this spillway, not thinking much of it I threw my crank bait into the flowing water, which buy the way, this lake fills from the water from a off limits fish resivor area.... and I think my bait gets snagged.  I thought it got snagged on a piece of rebar that may have stuck out from this concrete spillway or some junk that ended up there some how.  Well after about 2 min of screwing around trying to get my bait back.  It started moving!  Long story sort...  I make it a thing to go back to this place once a year now and spend 20+ min. fighting some giant catfish that just sit there with their mouth open all year long.  It's a freaking blast!! LOL...  The pictures are back to back years.  I did hook into one last weekend, stupid me hooked into one with Blat's sick stick spinning rod.  WRONG ROD TO USE... Note to self!  I couldn't move the cat I hooked into!! I tried fishing more of the outside diameter of this small area because the graph was showing bait balls all over thinking a bass would be there...Nope, big cats everywhere!!  Spent 15 min on that one and it spit my bait.  It was fun though.  Next time bigger rod and 65lb. braid will be used!

Wanted to reach out to all you anglers. I am looking for anglers across the country to join me on The Reel Backwaters Podcast and speak about your fishing adventures. Hit me up and let’s talk and get you exposed to the fishing world.

Huge thank you to everyone that made the roundtable last night. I certainly learned so much about apps and tools people use to prepare for their day. I'm sure others did too!

Next week Thursday we're going to be talking about building a following for social media and making content.

We hope to see you there!!

You can do it if you believe you can
