Sometimes practice does not go as planned. Champlain won…

I’m struggling hard to catch fish.

I can’t tell if its just the summer paired with the bodies of water I have available or what, but I just can’t seem to get on the fish. I’m throwing everything you can think of. I catch one here and there on a frog, a wacky, spinner baits, flipping jigs, you name it I’ll catch one on it…. But I’ll go out for 5 hours and catch one fish.

I’m fishing rivers. The confluence of the Neuse and Trent near New Bern, NC. Any advice appreciated.

Check your livewell!

Evidence of what they are eating! 8,786 crawfish spit up in Brian Latimer livewell at the ST Lawrence this past weekend. Great way to stay on top of forage they prefer. Little tiny 🦞.

Question for everybody:

Have you ever seen this before? Anything odd you’ve ever seen in your livewell?

Here fishy fishy fishy

I'm excited to share we will have an official newsletter being sent out monthly and we want to celebrate you!! Please pm me directly with an overview of your accomplishments with some photos.

Very excited about this!!

Ordered some personalized stickers for our kayaks from Tim Dodson

Theyre outdoor permanent vinyl.

For those building your brand this is a good way to do it!
