If you could change 1 thing about yourself to make you a better angler what would that be? For me it'd be getting back to the basics. Watching the recap of B.Lat's last tournament and watching him throw the "ball and chain" aka Carolina rig around touched home with me. I grew up throwing the C-rig. I've spent thousands on electronics and figure I'd better use my FFS, when in fact the older techniques are proven techniques that can flat out catch them.
Got on a lipless bite! That was exciting, 58F was the water temp and the pattern for today was all my catches where at the end of docks.
Fished Kerr Reservoir ( Buggs Island) for my club tournament and finished 5th. I caught all my fish on a nail weighted fluke. You had to let it sink and watch the line as you twitch it. Surprising how light the bite can be.
Find the beds then found the fish.. in only 3ft of water

One of my favorite lakes that I have been to. What lake do you think it is?
FYI, as a 2025 SUF School angler development selectee, I wanted to document my BFL journey this season through video. It's my first year moving from club tournaments to the BFL. Ken and I are fishing the Northeast division of the BFL, and I'm creating this series to share everything I learn or things I can share. They are mostly me just rambling, LOL
I just posted Episode 2, where I break down my tournament gear and boat setup.
