Headed to Norman to do some pre fish and scouting next Friday 😁! Man I’m excited!

Lake Murray breakdown: I’ve found there is thread Fin shad, herring ,bluegill and yellow perch Also gizzard shad. There is Pond weed that is native to the lake that grow 5 to 15 ft which will be dormant during the January BFL so not a player ! There are a few spotted bass and some small mouth but the largemouth are the dominant species. There are some points and I think the ditches and steep drop off edges will be an opportunity there is a hydro electric plant that will have warmer water running the west end of the lake is where the Saluda river runs into the lake comparing google earth with a topographical map making it more stained on this end . there are some docks that are in deeper water.( Do any of you think that would be something to try out?). This isn’t everything but it’s what I have so far. what else do we need to look into for the January tournament?

Is a Frittside 5 considered a Squarebill?

Today I fished with App members Chris and Destiny. Our focus has been fishing deeper for fall bass in 30-50ft deep. I’m looking for 2 more trips this fall to take out‼️

Today I’m fishing with my friends and app subs Chris and Destiny! Still looking to take out 1 more memebers before year end!

Let me know how you do it!

Good morning. Currently considering setting up my little girl, she’s 8, and to be my co-angler for local tournaments. She’s great at fishing the wacky, has her count down and twitch to be dangerous. My dilemma is she loves to catch, but the fishing part gets boring. My questions for children are:

1\\. At what age do you recommend or start?
2\\. What are great confidence baits?
3\\. Do you have a rod reel combo preference?

Thank you all and have a blessed day.

I had to try one last creek before loading up to head home. The result was 2nd heaviest bass ever. Oh caught him on square bill in 8’ of water

Fishing Hack: Had to replace my anchor wizard cord and chain. Since the old one is at the bottom of Lake Juliette... I chose to use a chain as an anchor again so I can adjust the weight in the river. I took the idea from the Fluke Master instead of him using rod socks to wrap the electronics cords. I am using them to wrap the chains. Hopefully this will help with unnecessary snags on rocks and debris. I have 5 total, each weighs about 1.5 lbs and is approximately 12" long. I also melted the ends, but for extra security I ziptied the tips as well.
