SUF community and app was just being explained by the commentators a minute ago during the tournament while BLat was being covered. They were gracious about explaining what SUF is all about and why it exists. Nicely done!

Part of research is finding out regulations for a body of water you’ll be fishing. With me picking up a boat coming up very quickly, I found a requirement for me to legally launch in the Everglades National Park. The effort and knowledge gained was worth it. Even though I’m going to be primarily using it for my tournament journey around Orlando based fisheries I needed this for Everglades trips. Next step is USCG Captain. Again, more knowledge.

Night fishing: Now that I don’t have to worry about snakes and gators at my feet that I can’t see at night, I need to learn night fishing for bass. Any tips and suggestions would be appreciated. Need to get my ‘Night Moves’ on! I’m sure I’ll be entering some night tournaments here in Florida. Thanks in advance.

My boat is not very big so not a lot of places to put stuff. I remembered a video where BLat suggested using wood. This is about iteration #3 but set up this improvised rig to hold my live scope hardware. Let's see if it holds up on the drive to the lake tomorrow.

Just got accepted and registered for the iCast event in Orlando this July. Going to be a great opportunity to promote my company brand and start to build relationships with Manufacturers and other Industry folks. Just by doing things the right way and getting accepted, I feel as if I’ve already won.
