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!
Had my maiden voyage in the kayak today on a little pond with Alex Sterling. Alex was kind enough to be my yak buddy for the morning and help me with tons tips and need to know for successful kayak fishing experience. We also caught a couple of fish.Â
Today's experience with the help from Alex made me think a live or 3 focused on the all the tips and trick for kayak fishing might not be a bad thing.  😜

Look at the size of this crawdad a fish spit up in our livewells today.
This has been a incredible day of fishing and learning. SUF elite angler academy day 2. Today was all sonar logistics and systems training.
Ray and I worked on using electronics to find schools of fish yesterday!
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.
Bank:Pond: Hook set question
I worked this stretch of the bank for about and hour had three fish on the line landed two.
In regards to hook sets are there different hook sets for different lures/techniques?
I saw a video of Bobby Barracks in the app say that he likes to reel a load into the rod and sweep it to set the hook on a chatterbait. I’ve been using this method. But I’m curious if there are different philosophies on hook sets and what you all believe is the most effective?
