iCast - I’ll be attending this week. If there is something you want me to check out while I’m building relationships let me know. I’ll check the app while I’m there to keep up.

I’ve been quiet lately. It’s not for a lack of interest. Between Captain’s school and a tragedy we had at the house, I haven’t been that active in the app or on the water. I recently had to make the ultimate decision and say goodbye to one of our dogs after only 7 years for his benefit and his quality of life. A prescription change for flea and ticks from the vet went bad and caused him multiple grand seizures. There was no chance of recovery. I will forever miss my best buddy, Mr Linus. At least he left us in my arms with lots of kisses as he quietly crossed over. His littermate sister, Lucy is having a tough time understanding. We are staying as strong as we can for her. Thanks for listening.

First tournament in the Lowe Stinger is in the books. Boat performed perfectly in extremely shallow waters of Lake Garcia FL. The fishery is a hydrilla farm. We had a ton of success and my co-angler pulled in a 9.52 largie. I caught my limit early and upgraded 4 after. Nothing gigantic and that’s fine. I placed in the top 30% without any practice or prep due to real life situations. I had a great experience and learned a few thing to build on the skill stack and bridge of confidence.

Straight Up Fishing stickers are on the way!!!

I love fishing in the morning time. The hook live that we had the other day got me thinking and I have to admit I’ve been hanging out with Gerald cause I’ve thrown EWG on all my creature style baits for ever. Today I went out and tried something new. Not the grass. That’s still the money spot. However, I didn’t want to go down in it, I went for a different perspective and fished up. I used a V lock bend with a screw lock and I caught the mess out then dang fish. Had at least 30 bites in a couple of hours and landed 25+. It’s crazy what trying something new does. Also, if you are like me and you break the nose off your plastics after a couple of bites, try the screw lock. It’ll save the life of the plastics.

Took my 13 yr old out on Lake Erie this afternoon to the same spot I caught my smallie on yesterday morning and he caught his first bass!!

I’m probably not supposed to tell you guys about this and I doubt any of you would be the targeted audience but look at this. I have a kids book coming out soon.

The best time to fish is 7pm-10pm if you ask me!
