When we’re talking about clear water, what exactly are you referring to? Clear by visibility or clear by clear of algae or other contaminants? Are we referring to what we see, or what the fish would see? Would we consider a lake that has less then 5 feet of visibility to be clear or stained? Also, I’m not trying to be a wise a**, I live in the central midwest and have never fished what I would consider a clear lake before.

Finally able to get on the lake for a few hours this morning and put too use what I learned from the in person event. I was late getting on the water thanks to over sleeping and the Karen blocking the non ethanol pump while she chatted on her phone for almost 20 minutes.
Finally on the water at 8, traveled to a point identified on my mapping I could see small baitfish near the surface and from the first cast it was on, 6 bass (Only got pics of 3) 2 on shaky head, and 2 on the Rockin Shad and 2 on the Action tail shad, then the bass just disappeared about 9:15 and the Crappie moved in. Caught about 10 crappie and one long nose gar, all on the action tail shad.
I have fished that point may times with very limited success but by changing up my tactics it showd that spot does hold post spawn bass as I had suspected. Thanks B-Lat
I did try to get Video of the Space X Launch this morning but cloud cover had it blocked.

12 nice bass yesterday.. 6 on a spro flapping frog, and 6 punching thick lilly pads... I used to always fish this pond by running baits down the edge of the pads, but decided to hop a frog across the top of the pads and boy did it pay off. I probably missed 10 more catches, but that's frog fishing I guess..

With this encyclopedia of fishing information here, what would be the core/building blocks I should learn first before I overwhelm myself?

This is all I could get to jump in the boat with me this past weekend.

We’re about to start the live class tonight. Only people allowed to miss class are the ones fishing.
