2nd ever buzz bait fish

Fished my local reservoir, crazy 80 degrees today in Virginia. Water temperature was 65 with water clarity 12 inches. Caught one bass on a spinnerbait early but they didn’t seem to be chasing bait. Found a rocky ledge in 20 feet and caught 4 bass on a free rig with black/blue craw. Good day and no tricks for Halloween 🎃.

So this is the same day and location. My son is still trying to communicate while.i photograph... At or around the 8 second mark you hear the same breathy voice saying what believe to be... "He's alive". What do y'all think?

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.
