How do you guys calm yourself for tournaments? Like how do you keep your focus when it’s 11:00 and you don’t have a fish in the boat. Do you stick with the plan you have laid out for yourself? I always get flustered and wind up going out in left field then on the way home I’m kicking myself for not sticking to my plan. So I guess I’m asking how do you keep your composure?

Yep... Omnia app. Definitely worth it. Wife may be pissed when the fee comes out... But now I know how deep the water is when I have to have to hide from her. Haha.

I got out with my buddy’s small boat and went way up river to the shallows in my local reservoir. Water clarity was less than a foot but caught fish in 3-4 feet. Started with the spinnerbait and caught 1. Running the spinnerbaits threw dying grass, rock and wood laydowns but no further bites. Had a thought to throw the jerkbait around rocks and immediately change to it. Caught two good ones. Had a weightless fluke tied on but wasn’t feeling it until the sun warmed up. Then hung the fluke around some laydowns and caught two more.
Smiled when my buddy caught the biggest of the day on a spinnerbait.

Fall fishing has not been on fire but when I get a bite they have been good ones. No dinks!

Trying to get ready for a tournament on lay lake. Need to get some confidence with the baits i have to use mainly a texas rig, drop shot guy looking to throw an Alabma rig any tips? Oh I have to use there baits so all my favorites have to stay home.

2025 MLF Schedules Came in Mail Today. Of course always subject to change. Sharing so you can plan accordingly if you plan on fishing them. They are also up to date in the app if you have it. 💪

Went to a new lake yesterday with a friend of mine and we were on the big girls. You know I had to wear this fish down before I boat flipped her. You know it all about how good you look these days fighting them monsters 🤣. Always blessed to be on the water.

Best kept secret in the military. Of course we fish on Army ships around the world. Here’s a sample from 1999 off of Cozumel Mexico on the USAV 2034 Perryville. Go Army!

Been really cool seeing you guys hooking up to go fishing through the app here. Can’t wait to see your pictures together this weekend and weeks to come. Bring your club buddies into the loop too.

Did you pay attention to the live last night?
First person to answer all 3 correctly wins my pond fising chatterbait kit today.

I was disciplined yesterday and instead of just looking for the usual docks or visible laydowns to cast at—

I broke the lake down correctly! 😍🙏🏽🤩

1. Looked at paper maps to find productive looking spots
2. Took the time to idle around and use my graphs (finally) and mark waypoints
3. Found submerged veg, timber/ other cover
4. Found fish!
5. Used different techniques than I usually do
6. Caught on the first cast!!!

Way more productive day because of being prepared and patient!
