Hey hey everyone. Man oh man! I don't know about y'all but life has straight been life'in for me lately. I haven't been able to stay on here very much over the past couple weeks. Seems like every time I have want to fish the wind, water, work, or wife has had different plans.

I have definitely had to reset and refocus on my fishing trips and life. When I have been able to go I have hit up some areas I don't often or haven't fished before. The new idea of exploring over catching has definitely helped with my frustration, it also showed me that every lake is pretty much the same... They all have lay downs, underwater structure, isolated structures, and moody bass. Hahaha!

Glad to be back and I'm hoping I can catch up on all the recordings ASAP.

I got to Compete in the ACA College National Championship on Hartwell this weekend. It was a blast. We got some good bites during practice but could only manage a couple during tournament day.

Did I mess up getting this unit to me it has all the features I need anything I should know? Thanks fairly new to electronics

Had a pretty decent day today found one good fish.. managed to get line tangled all in my prop and when taking it apart dropped prop in water and it sunk lol.. thank god I had a spare

Started the morning with a surprise. 5lb 1oz on a white top water popper. Ended up having a productive bag for the day and didn’t throw one Jerkbait. Happy Holidays.

Nothin ‘ like breaking out the micro finesse rigs and catching some bream out the kayak!

Met a huge Snapping turtle at the pond yesterday.. no telling how old this thing is.. probably has musket balls and arrowheads stuck in it's shell. lol.

So... this is thermocline? it's in a small pond near me, not a very deep pond, I think 18' was the deepest areas..

I know this is a rookie question, but should I be throwing bait to stay above it (spinnerbait, jerkbait, top water, etc.), or to get below it.(carolina rig, texas worm, jig, etc).. Don't laugh at me, I've got a lot to learn..lol.

Another good night! Chatter bait and midnight edition spinner bait
