It’s freaking hot on the Butler Chain in Orlando. Was able to draw some out from under the docks first thing this morning as I threw SMH as a tester to feel the bottom contour and whammo. Not a huge catch but nothing wrong with a 2.5lb. Dammit, I can’t get the Purple Rain earworm out of my head all Summer!

New boat! 2025 Avid Vertex 20 with a 175 SHO. Spot lock, live scope, etc.

Well my boats been in the shop getting some new things installed and making sure my motor has a good check up , and making sure everything is good for my trip to Texas. it’s a 17 hr Drive. Kinda a little nervous, I’ve never towed a boat that far before. Iwas able to get out on Sunday for some very good Therapy. I caught about 5 and lost one at the boat. I caught this one on a jig.

I’m making out the schedule for the live classes today. I’m planning to get a couple special guests in this month.

I catch most of my fish in the mid heat of the day.. during these times when it’s hot and water temps get extreme I find most of the fish stick tight to cover and shade.. 90% of my fish are coming on finesse tactics.. low and slow is the key for me lately.. hope this helps others ..

Finished today at 101.50 not a terrible day.. had 2 large fish get off today should of been closer to 105-110 but hey we got all month for that …

Managed a little fishing therapy today, caught this little guy and a couple trash fish.

Finally back on the water.

Fished my 3rd MLF-BLF tournament at Lake Champlain. I got a limit of bass ( 3 fish for co- angler. I had 8lbs 2oz before the dead fish penalty and finished with 7lbs 14oz. I am now 27th overall in the standings.

Very unique waterway in which you can catch a largemouth and a smallmouth bass in the same area.

Barde has been teaching me well with the jig. He helped me with the colors and trailer selection. My first two keeper fish came of the jig. Good times!

Ordered some personalized stickers for our kayaks from Tim Dodson

Theyre outdoor permanent vinyl.

For those building your brand this is a good way to do it!
