I’m just going to say it.. If you need in my honest opinion one of the best spinning rods I have ever used contact Brian Barde and just ask for the Toon’s slick stick custom!! This rod literally is a do all rod Texas rig drop shot to shakey head even to Ned rigs it is just the right action for a do it all spinning rod.. I can honestly say I’ve never been so impressed by build quality, action, as I have been with this rod… you all are missing out..

This past week was awesome chatting with all of you on the coaching calls. Many of you had tournaments this weekend and some had homework to research. I’d love to see what you guys results were and what you learned. I’ll set up a new round of coaching calls this month so you can be in a coaching group. It’s awesome to hear how all of you are thinking about fishing!

I couldnt tell you how many times I watched B.Lats video on installing a keel guard. It was an easy process once I got it taped into the position I wanted it. I purchased 1 that was 1ft. Longer than the recommended size, so that I could get a little more coverage. #DIY time for a boat wash.

Crankbait with active target through baitballs in 15 foot of water is a blast! No giants but 7 in the boat in 45 minutes kept me giggling. Was a great time while water testing after changing fluids to prep for my month long tour.

Question for the community
Is this a largemouth or Shoal bass?
I caught this guy wade fishing the Ochlockonee river.

Can you believe it?! We are just 11 days and a wake up until our mini community retreat at Guntersville, AL! We still have two bed slots available for $125 for the entire time of the retreat. Please message me directly if you'd like to reserve a bunk or comment below.
Day 1 Thursday: we will be picking a ramp to meet up to fish together. Ray Brunetti had a great idea on fishing together or in the same vicinity so we can learn from each other in person.
Afterwards, We will be meeting at Waterfront Tackle shop after to check out some new baits and have an in person roundtable. We'll be streaming this for those who can't make it. Dinner we will be ordering something together and hang by a nice camp fire.
Day 2 Friday: Fish all day and cookout for dinner. This is also day one for our 'catch to cook' competition.
Day 3 Saturday: Fish all day, catch and cook continued and fish fry for dinner. This is also day one for the SUF 'the last dance' online tournament!
Day 4 Sunday: SUFam breakfast before departing.
Cannot wait to see all who will be there!
