So I’m putting myself through the “fall bass learning boot camp”. Basically I take an hour in the morning and dedicate it to learning all I can about the current season. Typically through a b-lat video

This might sound super simplistic but I’ve reached a aha moment using google AI.

I’m pretty good at following directions, but when something is or isn’t working I don’t really understand why Rather it’s bait selection, location, conditions etc.

With AI if I want a deeper understanding I can just ask it and it gives really detailed answers. (From this I’ve basically written reports on the things I’ve learned to better retain them)

Literally ordering baits with a pictures of “Florida threading Shad, and bluegills” pulled up on one monitor and picking the color and profile that best matches it.

I just think it will give more confidence in the decision we make on the water if we understood in detail why. Like why Shad go shallow in the fall, or why bass feel the need to eat up and the rabbit hole is endless.

If this is everyone’s common way to study then just remember I’m new and mind ya business 😁. But if you haven’t tried it I recommend it.

Got out for a couple hours today. Likely the last time I’ll get out this year. Only managed one little guy. I was surprised on how many green weeds there still were. Usually they’re brown and deteriorated by now.

From the Lake to the plate!

For one that likes to hunt and fish, its been a real good day today. Got to pull the trigger along side my son on some ducks on a beautiful morning, ended up with a couple teal, and had some bass success in the afternoon! Can't complain with that outcome, dang near a perfect day!

Pond Fishing:

Went back to the pond from yesterday caught 5 in under a hour. Buzzbait, chatterbait along the grass line parallel to the bank. Water was about 4 foot deep and grass was 1-2 ft below surface. Landed all the bites I had which felt like redemption from yesterday.

Look at the size of this crawdad a fish spit up in our livewells today.

I’m gonna go live in the private Facebook group at 12 pm est today. We’re gonna look at side scan imaging with a certified Lowrance tech.

This is the biggest crawdad I’ve ever seen in our lakes.

This week I’m fishing with Ray Brunetti in the SUF elite angler development academy. Reach out to brian@sufschool.com if you’d like to book a class. I have 1 more available in 2025.

Pond Fishing: If your drag isn’t set correct and you stop reeling you will lose fish. Had two hooked fish, landed one on the Buzzbait. Both were in a 1-2 ft of water. I was casting to the opposite bank in the stickerbushes drug it into the water and across got five bites that way.
