One and only one. I've been on the struggle bus 2nd half of the summer and into the fall. But yesterday, for one and only one cast, everything lined up exactly as it should, exactly as I've seen on the videos and put into practice. 1) Using the FFS video, helped me realize when and where was the right place to cast. 2) The Albright Knot video, this allowed me to switch to lighter line and leader without losing my tackle. 3) How to Fight Fish video, I used my drag like a champ and fought a nice 3+ lb fish on light line, staying in control the entire way. In fact, to B-Lat's point in the video, once I got the fish in the net the hook just fell out. If I hadn't used my drag I might've lost the fish. Instead, the fish wore itself out and just came to the surface so I could scoop it with my net. I couldn't replicate this success at all the rest of the day, but for this one cast, I really felt like I was applying everything I'm learning here.
Got out for a couple hours today. Likely the last time I’ll get out this year. Only managed one little guy. I was surprised on how many green weeds there still were. Usually they’re brown and deteriorated by now.
well tis the season. went to 3 different lakes near the house today and could not launch the boat. winter draw down is in full effect. i either winterize and put it away till spring or i head south. anyone interested in me bringing my boat to your lake and going fishing with you for the weekend or day? hit me up if your interested?
My wife and girls said they wanted some crappie for dinner.... don't tempt me to a good time! You know I can't say NO! Stay tuned for these slabs

Kevin asked about Halloween plans... I worked the school then the road... I also had to keep reminding myself I have diabetes so I can't jump out and tell little kids all of their tootsie rolls and Tootsie roll related candies are all poisonous and I need to seize them for their safety.
⛑️💪🏽In our roundtable, many of our members expressed interest in using the winter months to get healthier and stronger and develop better habits so we can fish better — and for many more years to come. I’d like to create a challenge to help with that and set the time frame up until the retreat next year!

Good morning SUF community. I have a tournament on the 16th and I have 8 hours tomorrow to start pre fishing. Natural lake here in Florida, 5mph NE winds, and a few water inflow points outlined in the picture below. So this would be one of the things I struggle with. What would be a good way to insure I have an effective practice tomorrow? Looking for spots, patterns, eleminating water etc. does anyone have a system for practicing for tournaments that could be helpful? Thanks in advance!!
This fall bite is so good! My skills seem to be improving as well! Great day to fish!
