With everything that has happened there’s so many things happening quickly. All we can do and should do is show love and empathy to all that’s involved. This is a part of life I’ve worked on. Empathy has never been a strong point for me so this is a opportunity to show up for myself and others by being emphatic.

Thanks to all for being patient with us.

Update on the 20+ confidence… I managed one, wind had me and my kayak all over the place. My question for next week is how do you guys fish lakes that are primarily flooded timber?

Good luck Brian Latimer at Smith Lake. Have Fun! The whole community is cheering you on.

Do any of my fellow Raleigh area anglers know if the what stage the spawn is in the surrounding lakes?

Happy Easter everyone, from the Sainz family out in good old Midland, TX! Didn't get out on the water this weekend , but will be this coming weekend. I hope to continue to keep catching them and figuring them out. Shoutout to John Krum his video made me think about my experience this past tournament with the Zman ned rig I was throwing. Got a comment from a guy asking “IF” I was or still threw it. Long story short when 1/4 of the guys in the tournament didn't catch anything I was slaying them on that NED! Absolutely loved it , man! I will continue to throw what works for me and what is catching me fish! Let’s go!!! 🔥🔥🔥 FIRST LIMIT IN A TOURNAMENT EVER! If you didn't watch my episode go and check it out on YouTube!!!

Ok it’s time to start the path of getting a boat to open doors to tournaments and expanding the guide service. Let the exercise in patience begin…
