Tim Dodson asked about marking waypoints so this is one of the tricks I use when I see stuff like road beds, rock plies, old ramp or foundations. If you notice in the picture I just did a quick drawing of this area because I know there is an old boat ramp right next to this ramp. The red lines show were the ramp is. When I mark it, I will place dots or marks along the edge of it and the end of it to "draw" an outline. Then I will place one in the center with a title of what it is. Plus it helps with size reference. So if I find rock pile, I do the same thing. Outline with marks then one in the center. Now, you can easily see it on your map and know how to position your boat without having to scan it. Hope that helps explain it.

Brian Barde and Tim Dodson both asked tonight about way point management. I actually keep SD cards for different lakes with all my waypoints. I run Lowrance on the console and they have the ability to to export waypoints by region. So short answer is the prep work is creating a card for each lake. Once I have done that, then I purge the unit of all waypoints. When I go to a lake I input the lake card I have... Download waypoints.. Fish, create new waypoints, end the day, export to card then purge unit. Seems like alot fo steps but it is actually quick. Longest part is creating the cards for each lake. The picture is of the cards I have in a holder plus other cards for running lanes and other stuff.

This is how it’s gonna work tonight. I’m real excited if you can’t tell….

Tonight is the live session on electronics!

Greenwood keeps kicking my rear trying to catch bass! So I went to get a little confidence back! I’m not sure how confident I am but I won’t go hungry lol. These upstate lakes have been tough on me through the fall.I hope I can put a couple in the boat on the first tournament.

The struggle was real today on my nemisis, Jordan Lake. so much for lite winds. I found tons of bait in 20’-30’ water even marked what looked like decent fish around that bait but could not get a bite. I did catch a wind burn…..

Deadly nedley catching tanks while shore bangin today. I had been eyeing this spot on the Google maps for a couple years. Finally did a reconnaissance hike mission today to see if I could fish this spot as this river bank is just mud and hard to fish this stretch. One bite is all it takes sometimes to be a successful afternoon session! Couldn’t be happier.

Live scope screen broke last month. We had to revert back to old school fishing techniques to get it done this weekend on Lake Hartwell.

They were indeed smashing a jerkbait in 34 degree water. The brightest most direct light of the day turned them on. Sitting on the bottom in 10-11ft on a very rocky bank I could see them on the graph all day. We had a couple head butt the A-rig but that’s it. As soon as the sun started to fall and hit that rocky bank directly they switched on for about 20 mins. Definitely wasn’t easy, but the mission was accomplished. 20 some mph gusts all day on the river made it hard to even present a bait. 5 hours in and 3 fish in the last 30 mins before we had to motor back about 2 miles. This is winter fishing. Happy to have gotten out there.
