Hey guys!
I’m looking to make a switch on rod manufacturer. B. Lat, I know you’re with Level Rods and have seen and read good things. Looking for recommendations for some of my favorite tactics in my home lake to start out with. I’d say, froggin, flippin and trappin run the most, but im going to start exploring more lakes and areas to fish n Middle NC and, I fish the salt.
- frog fishing
- flipping up to 1oz
- trappin’
- chatterbait up to 1/2 oz
- paddle tails up to 6” (1/2oz jig heads or under belly weight max)
- spinner sit/buzzbait
- light Texas rig with 4-6” stick baits
These are just some of the most successful baits I use in my home body and I’m sure some of these techniques could be interchangeable on the same rod.

Many of you mentioned you struggled fishing offshore in the fall. We've done quit a few workshops here in the app about fall fishing offshore. Check the comments section below for some of the most popular videos about offshore videos among subs.

Finished 4th, really needed bigger fish to bite day 2. Fished super clean all weekend but I sat with a 12.75 in my bag for 4 hours and couldn't catch an upgrade. Great event and I had a blast. Looking forward to Alabama now 😀

Tournment recap Lake Kegonsa. Fished the last tournament of the year this weekend. Sad that it’s already over. It was a challenge given this lake had a bad case of the algae blooms. On Thursday evening when I practiced after work, I had 5-6 good bites on a frog right on top of the algae blooms near docks and where the river met the lake. So you had clean oxygenated water going into the lake and like a “mud line” where it met the lake. There was so much bait there dancing on the surface it looked like rain drops hitting the water. So tournment day I went to that area. From 7am-11, not a single bite. I fished all the weeds that were still green on that lake. At 11 I decided to go to the opposite. Went to the other end of the lake where there was no weeds, shallow sandy bottom, and docks. Water visibility was still 1-2 inches and neon green, just didn’t have the big algae blooms. Apparently that’s where all the bass were hiding. Finished with 4 LM Bass 9.62lbs. All in all I learned a lot from this tournament and practice and what I need to do next year. Fall fishing use to be my most dreaded time of year to fish, but I’ve built a real confidence for it now. Thank you SUF for the lessons and teachings!

A couple of 1.75-2lb spotted bass caught on BFS reel and ultralight rod on a Lucky Craft LC 0.5 squarebill. I know that not an "appropriate" crankbait setup but it sure is fun and between yesterday and today I caught probably somewhere in the neighborhood of 25-30 little spots on that exact setup! Most of them were very small - half a pound to 3/4 lb but a few respectable ones mixed in. But they were all a lot of fun on ultralight tackle.
I was going to post a video of me catching one of them but it seems the upload video portion isn't working.
I don't have this video uploaded to YouTube yet, but I have started a little YouTube channel. If y'all would check it out - I'd appreciate it! I just do it as a hobby for the fun of it. And I'm still learning how to do everything, so don't be too hard on me! But I will gladly accept constructive criticism!
