Hey hey y’all! A little bit ago I held a “Roundtable Live” about nutrition, hydration & the importance of rest in regards to fishing.
Thank you for coming to chat in my live if you did!
There was some interest in the supplementation that I was recommending to help achieve and optimize these avenues.
***disclaimer***
I am not a doctor, personal trainer or nutritionist, but I do have a lot of learned and applied knowledge I have accrued through many years of personal development. Do your own research.
****************
-magnesium/blends-
- https://a.co/d/1eKHrgS SynerMag. Great stuff. Taken before bed & with dinner it will help you relax and keep your muscles loose throughout the day. Helps with recovery. A lot of people would be surprised by the benefits of magnesium and the amount of positive benefits it will bring.
-Drink supplements/hydration multiplier-Ultimately it’s about how your body can uptake the liquid through improved osmolality & getting the electrolytes back in your body that you sweat out and use through physical activity.

- https://a.co/d/h0nmbX7 Hydracharge
- https://a.co/d/iGzK1C6 Pedialyte packets
- https://a.co/d/7qdskkX liquid IV packets
- https://a.co/d/bCIbV6s NUUN tablets
- https://a.co/d/cdmdSdb “old school” salt tabs
- https://a.co/d/2sEkpQH You could also throw in creative monohydrate into this equation as it does help with hydration by pulling water into the muscle at a cellular level and has other multiple benefits
- https://a.co/d/8DF94HY Throw in some EAA (essential amino acids in your water/drink can help with recovery too. Give you some of the things back breaking down that muscle when your leaning on those bass all day.

A good recommendation is half your body weight in pounds to in ounces of water a day. 200lbs, drink 100oz. Ultimately you’ll know if you need more or less. Varies with activity level and temperature.
If you’re salt sensitive take that into account. More dilution with more water can help that.
-Mental focus and nootropics-
- https://a.co/d/hmDH4tn alpha brain caps
- https://a.co/d/af9Um1v Genius
- https://a.co/d/agZRXmI more lion’s mane
- https://a.co/d/8kSS0uB Thorne nootropics
A sharp mind helps many things. Quicker decision making and mood boosts will always be welcomed.
-Sleep supplements/help-
- https://a.co/d/dgrDPI9 Olly sleep gummies
- https://a.co/d/1ciRvvs Yogi sleepy time tea
- https://a.co/d/5EqH7b3 lavender oil, therapeutic grade to apply on your feet, temples and chest (lights out!)
- https://a.co/d/5aMTdzm neuro sleep drink
Other recommendations I would have is cut
Your water at the end of your day so your not waking up to pee and disrupting your sleep.
-Going forward-
There’s a lot to this whole topic and I would be glad to help anyone interested in such. I’m here if you need me! Food and exercise I’m all ears. It’s a lifestyle.

I have a mental prep question.
Is it better to go into a tournament with a "I'm going to win this" or "I'll be happy with a fish" attitude?
I lean more toward the WIN side.

Well fishing freaks, here in western KY, we've had a lot of rain then snow now subzero temps, and in a few days temps will be back in the 50's and more rain fishing is going to be nice whenever things get some kind of normalcy. I'm feaning

Good morning everyone, During last night's Co-Angler roundtable discussion, the topic of boaters accommodating Co-Anglers with special needs arose. This issue has previously deterred me from pursuing Co-Angler opportunities. I am unsure if existing BFL protocols address this concern, but I believe it warrants consideration. I would appreciate your thoughts on this matter.Good morning everyone, During last night's Co-Angler roundtable discussion, the topic of boaters accommodating Co-Anglers with special needs arose.
