Alright so I have some questions which may have already been covered if so I’m sorry. However so when going out fishing especially before a tournament. I have went and prefeished for two tournaments. Found one fish the day before and then then next tournament I went out to practice and found four. I feel like im just a bit lost when it comes to launching the boat to locating fish any tips are much appreciated! I feel as if experience just behind the wheel will work this issue out. I have a tournament next Saturday and so far I have held off in these tournaments since I still have that “lost” feeling of when I launch the boat and get that first bite which sometimes just seems like it takes WAY to long to get especially if I’m going to fish tournaments.
What’s going on everyone! New here excited to expand my knowledge and be a part of SUF and see what it brings!
What’s everyone experiencing right now with the weather? Fishing was on fire in the southern TN / northern MS area and then we had terrible weather for nearly a week. Now, it’s cool temps again.


All these fish pics this is where I am during the spawn. And I’m a little jealous lol




My brother in law got me this for the Barde friendly tournament.

Hey everyone!
Just wanted to say hello from Midland, Texas! I got into the kayak tournament scene mid last year and instantly fell in love with it. Kayak tournament fishing has become a real passion of mine—I even started documenting the journey on YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram. Super glad to be a part of the Straight Up Fishing community and looking forward to all the great conversations, tips, and stories ahead!
Tight lines!

Jacob Wilcox and Corey Richardson y'all be careful on Sinclair and Oconee. Saw pictures of a boathouse floating away. Also read there are spring breakers out driving crazy even with all the debris... Stay safe and leave me some fish to catch!
