Had to go back out to my neighbors pond and put on a little clinic yesterday afternoon.

Has anyone ever had this happen? Maybe there was some flashing or issues in the manufacturing process. But water was able to get into the top layer of the bait. Threw me for a loop when I saw it. Thought I snagged a dang marble hahaha!

Hit up Lake Juliette on Sunday... The ol wacky rig came through. Targeted a shallow saddle flat with cover on both sides. I literally cast out my rig, sat pole down to adjust my kayak, picked up my rod, and a fish was on it.... Tried fishing slower the rest of the day, but only got one. I didn't think about moving further back off the bank until I read Alex Sterling post last night. Anyways, a good bass on Juliette is a win for me any day so I'm happy with it.

Good luck Brian Latimer at Smith Lake. Have Fun! The whole community is cheering you on.

If you missed the retreat this sermon is about knowing how long to fish a area before moving on and how to approach decisions on the water.

I’m done putting out fires and rigging boats and rods. I’m ready to REST AND PLAN!

Dipped a line in my local reservoir and fished clay bottom flats with laydowns.

Any suggestions on map cards for a Lowrance HDs pro. Not a huge fan of the c map on board.

Anyone else following the MLF at Lewis Smith Lake? Let’s go BLAT!

TC Lay hope this helps. I used to go off the tail lateral line. But sometimes if the fish gets stressed the lateral line stripe will be solid lake a large mouth's.
