I have some less than ideal news. Last week I came down with what I thought was just a “bug”. I pushed through and fished my tournament but it got worse everyday. Turns out I either had the flu or maybe even Covid! 🥹 I went in to urgent care this morning. That ended in had x-rays and an antibiotic 5 hours later. I never filmed anything last week. I just didn’t have any energy. In some weird way I’m glad to know I actually was sick because it felt like I was “un-motivated” which is something I’ve never really experienced. I should be solid in a few days of rest. We have a live school this Wednesday. I think I’ll be good by then but I’ll probably still be coughing quite a bit. I want to have a few of you on the live. Anyone want to come on? Let me know.
Rain day but caught fish using Carolina rig at Lake Anna, Va and added to my SUF tournament entries.
Ended the SUF Spring Classic tournament last month with a new small mouth PB with a 19.75" When I tell ya, that tournament made me work 😮💨
working a spillway today caught 2 largemouth on strike king chartriusse and black back 1.5 crankbait silent. They wouldn't touch the ones with the rattle. water clarity is about 2 feet. Water wasn't to fast so what do i use that will be better for the fast water about 4 feet deep. there is hybrids and largemouth in there just struggling to get bites. rocky bottom.
Great weekend to be at the north woods cabin for some fishing, eating, and drinking.
Today was tough fishing up here in the NE. The water temperature is trending down. Fish are pre-spawn, some spawn, and they seem to be scattered. After 4 hours of trying different baits and techniques, I did manage to get a pattern going. It was a slow jig bite on vertical structure with some weed cover close. BTW, the Straight Up Fishing TV Sweatshirt is thick, soft and warm.
Monday I leave for the next Tour event on lake Eufaula. Looking forward to solving problems, building some plans and executing on opportunities.
Smallmouth caught while practicing for tournament this weekend. Hope I can find her again and she bites this weekend.
