How many of you guys use a checklist to prep before you actually hit the water? It was my second day on my kayak and I am still forgetting things I need to do. It sent my mood in the dumps, spending more time adjusting rather than fishing.

Good luck out there b lat just seen the storyteller

I’m pretty sure everyone in here knows my friend John G Wilson. So last night him and his family experienced a serious loss of his daughter and granddaughter, and his other 2 granddaughter are in the hospital. If yall can keep him and his family in yall prayers.

I worked hard for these bites Snotgrass getting deeper in the water column. All caught on SMH worm.

Pretty excited today, fishing wasn't great but cought my first umbrella rig fish!! Short story, I don't normally do this but ima going to PLUG SOME STUFF! I was trying to figure out how to use the 7'8" Rake series rod I received from last years retreat. I didn't know what to do with it. Now I do! No one throws an A rig up here that I've seen. Probably cause of the 3 hook rules. Watched the Greg and O live awhile back Brian did and got an idea. Greg throws that rig alot in his videos and brought up the dark horse mini max rig he uses and they got a 3 hook version! Done deal! That rod can cast that thing a mile and its sturdy but not to stiff! It's got the right amount of... eeaahh to it, 😆

Plug and joking aside, I believe there were some more people that won or received some of those specific rods last year and if you don't know what to do with it and live where you can use these rigs, this is one way to use it!

Finally broke 5 lbs on the smallmouth side.

You guys have a bait that if you catch one fish on it, you won't put it down? So the rest of your day is either awesome or miserable. For me today it was the frog. Caught this little 13 incher and mentally put all the other rods in the truck. No luck the rest of the day but every cast I was waiting for that next blow up!

Pitched and flipped for a couple largies. 4.3 pounds and 5.6 pounds. Handful of little guys as well. They all looked post spawn, HUGE mouths but not a lot of width.

Lake Toho did not disappoint this morning. Did not get to fish as long as I wanted wind is starting to pick up and was not able to fish the areas that I was focusing on today. Hydrilla in 6 to 8 ft of water. Started out Carolina rig 30 minutes nothing switch to shaky Head 30 minutes nothing decided to start throwing a rattle trap bingo. Ended the day with four this was the largest.

My co worker asked me to take him fishing, and as he was showing me the fry swimming by I hooked into a 5 lb baddie. He broke my net lol but at least I still landed the fish.
