Got a chance to get out today with TC Lay . It was a typical day of summer fishing. Tough, hot with a few bites. A tough day of fishing is better than a good day at work. The bites we did have we landed them. Its always good to meet new people, especially from within the SUF community.

On the board with a couple decent fish this morning on Lanier. Mainly on the drop shot today (brush pile and one off the bank) and a few smaller ones on the IMA skimmer. Heat showed up and the jet skis so got off early afternoon. Good ole Lanier weekend chaos!

Got to have an awesome long weekend with my dad and nephew! It was cool to have 3 generations in the same boat. It was his first time fishing from a boat. Caught a lot of different species. Once he picked up and figured out the ned, he never put it down. His first cast was a 30” Northern Pike. Of course I had to flex with a 20” 4.8lb smallmoufth.

Not really a boat build per say. My kayak has been referred to as a floating UFO after dark. I'll be adding electronics before long.

Okeechobee Tournament Results: It was a brutal day for everyone as the lake and weather didn't cooperate. Water temps were between 94 and 97. I had make a strategic decision after a couple hours of silence that payed off. I used an old school technique of finding: 1. Big concrete structure 2. Wind blown area that fed water directly from the main lake to a canal with a depth of 10-15 feet. 3. See a pattern of waiting for the drive by fish instead of chasing them. 4. Keep my boat and co-angler safe from a maze of hazards. = We fished the rim canal gated spillways. This was the second time in a row that my boat won not only the Big Bag, but also the Biggest Fish. When it mattered the most it came down to what Brian says all the time. Make the right decisions, use common sense, and don't over complicate things. 😉

It’s freaking hot on the Butler Chain in Orlando. Was able to draw some out from under the docks first thing this morning as I threw SMH as a tester to feel the bottom contour and whammo. Not a huge catch but nothing wrong with a 2.5lb. Dammit, I can’t get the Purple Rain earworm out of my head all Summer!

Brian Latimer I saw your IG reel about our mind set and false narratives from social media. Have you ever thought about doing an "uncut" video? Tyler Reels Fishing has a few videos. Basically he just runs the camera until it stops, the whole video and talks about what he is doing etc.... I have enjoyed watching them. With your (as we say the LE field) knowledge, training, and experience, you should have pretty good content!
