Took a long overdue vacation from casting a line for almost a week.

Tomorrow starts the next phase of training.

2027 = Toyota and BFL + Local weekly tournaments.

Blat... any good (I know they're all good) videos on flipping thick hydrilla? On Sinclair, in certain areas there's a "band" of hydrilla 10' away from the bank, up to 15' deep.. many docks are choked out with hydrilla too... The first 10' next to sea walls and banks is dirt... Ive been running a buzzbait down the edge of the sea walls, doing pretty good, but there's a lot of hydrilla id like to "investigate" (lol).. I know to look for bare patches, flip into the holes, just want to pick up any more tips that I can.. There's a lot of hydrilla I dont want to keep passing by if there are big bass in there. I see a lot of bream in the holes/bare spots, So I know there has to be some good bass in there.. Ive been catching a few on a frog, working a frog over the shallow areas with hydrilla, (see images)...

Breaking down a new lake seems overwhelming. At its core there’s really 3 things that matter.

1. What’s available - meaning what structures cover, vegatation, shoreline cover do you have to fish. Become very intimate with this.

2. What do the bass eat?- this lets us know likely places bass will be. If we understand what they eat it gives us a area to start looking.

3. What are we good at? - most anglers don’t really know what they’re good at. The pro perfect this. They find water that matches what they know how to do. That’s how thousands of acres become 2-3 acres really quickly. Do you know what you’re good at?

Lake breakdown process for bass fishing

This video lays out a straightforward approach to breaking down any lake, regardless of whether you’re fishing from shore, a kayak, or a boat. The process focuses on three key decisions: identifying the most predominant structure, understanding what the bass are eating, and fishing to your own strengths. Instead of making things complicated or blindly following seasonal hype, you'll learn how to focus on the water and techniques that fit your best skills.Brian explains why it’s critical to become a specialist with a handful of techniques, rather than trying to master everything at once. Avoid the common pitfalls of chasing every lure or technique you see. By zeroing in on the food source and matching your approach to your strengths, you’ll cover more water efficiently—and catch more fish, consistently.

The SUF lake breakdown process is something everyone in here should be very familiar with!

Thought of a new workshop series to do over the next few weeks called “Versus”. There’s quite a few baits that are very close in there use technically.

Buzzbait vs plopper

Shakey Head vs drop shot

Wacky vs neko

Square bill vs lipless

Hard Jerkbait vs soft jerkbait

Chatterbait vs spinnerbait ( I actually don’t think they’re the same but most people do)

Would discussing when each one is best be helpful to yall?
