I know that wind direction can cause a lot of fluctuations. So I guess I’m trying to ask.. how do you over come that? Does north and east facing wind have that big of an impact?

NHL playoffs in the Nations Capital of DC is about to begin. I’m passing the Washington Monument while on the metro.

Took the girlfriend fishing yesterday at a family pond and was able to catch a good one. The girlfriend did catch the first one on the ol bettle spin, but I had to show her up with the Ned rig.

Just out here living our best life's right now!

Time to knock some sides off!

Happy Easter, everyone! Got out yesterday and I have to say it was a great live scope day. Super clear picture despite high winds. I had great success locating fish, even targeting them and getting them to chase my bait. But couldn't get them to bite, mostly. It's been warming up here in MI but the water temp was still below 50. This smallie was in ~10-15 feet of water. Caught it on a lipless. 3lb 17in. Then I parked in that spot (see live scope) and threw everything in my boat at them. They would chase, but not take. Not sure if those are bass and I just couldn't crack the code, or if those were smaller bait fish and I just got lucky that there was a smallie hanging around. I need a lot more practice to ID bass on the scope. Hope you all have great outings this weekend!

Do you know what the Shad spawn is? Bring your questions to the live session at 8pm et.

I have seen a number of comments about hair jigs. I was wondering if these were what y’all were talking about.

I received my Straight Up Fishing shirt. Now I’ll be representing the family on the west coast. 🤟
