Last club tournament of the year today. Sad to see the season end but looking forward to breaking down everything I learned this year. Took 3rd overall and almost won big bass today with a 5.17. Smallmoufth were being difficult so when in doubt hit the docks and catch a 5lber.
Well, if you look closely, you’ll notice I’m not in the picture I’ve shared! I fished the championship for the club I run on Lake Bowen. I held the lead throughout the entire weigh-in with a 3.6 I punched out of the pads. Lo and behold, the last two fish weighed in were a 3.10 and a 6.14, knocking me right out of the money and out of the championship. That’s fishing for you! 😂
Fast forward to the picture I’ve shared. Two of my boys fishing a derby with a different club on a different lake absolutely put on a show, dropping 40.13 lbs in their best five fish! Now that’s just too unreal not to share! Couldn’t be happier for these guys. Sometimes you don’t get the outcome you’re looking for, but getting to watch your people succeed makes it all worth it!
Tight lines, SUF Fam! 🎣
In October our second workshop is going to be on old school techniques. There’s so much news on new lures and really not a in-depth teaching on how to fish rigs of the early days.
These techniques and rigs still catch bass and pros often use them. They aren’t fancy, expensive or new so there’s very little information on them.
I’m inviting some of my pro friends to join me in the workshop as well. We’ll cover things like
- Tubes
- Carolina rig
- split shot rig
- lipless crankbaits
- floating worm
- spinnerbaits
None of these are expensive or attractive to make YouTube videos about. However all of these are very affective and can be a good lure for you to catch bass on NOW
Hey all it's Thursday so you know what that means! Community roundtable tonight at 8PM EST. Use the link below 👇🏾

Hey guys. I'm doing a "new fisherman's" workshop next week in the app. I know many of you are experienced fishermen. I'd love to have you share some of your recommendations, findings and favorite things about fishing during the workshop. You can post here in the app or contribute on the the live classes as well. What you recommend DOES NOT HAVE TO LINE UP WITH WHAT I SAY. Fishing is very subjective to area and personal preference and it's all valid and valuable information.
I have a silly question... When we post our catches in the facebook group page, should we also post them in the SUF app? And vice-versa? I'd hate for anyone to miss something I post in one and not the other..🤣
Need some advice for stopping the backlash. I have a curado dc 150hg spooled with 15lbs goro floro for jerkbait fishing. I have the dial set to 4 and I have the spool tension non set to moderate I’d say. Letting the lure free fall and all seems fine but go and make a light cast like Brian said in some of his videos and the thing starts getting backlash. Only thing I can think of is I spooled the line on the wrong direction as it came off the spool but I’m not sure. Hate to waste a fresh spool of line unless there’s any way to fix it?
Thanks
Good day and lessons learned. Landed a striper but destroyed my new B. Lat. Also first time using a bump board, posted for feeback.
