Today we’re gonna be breaking down Lake Sam Rayburn in Texas. Will Davis brought this Lake to the table a few weeks ago and we’re gonna do a pretty in-depth breakdown on how to catch BASS there right now. Join in on the live if you have time to in about 15 minutes at 12 PM Eastern time.There’s really only three things you need to know to break down just about any Lake. All you need to know is what the lake has to offer with the fish eat the most importantly what feels most familiar to you

Nothin ‘ like breaking out the micro finesse rigs and catching some bream out the kayak!

Brother in law asked me how I use a 9 foot diving Jerkbait in 6 foot of water. I threw this up on YouTube. Most important part is that rather than twitching the rod downward as traditional mechanic, I’ll use an almost horizontal and an occasional uptick of the tip. Other points are that I typically throw to an angle from the canal bank to maximize coverage and I purposely don’t lock the rod to my forearm so my wrist can aid in the shock absorption. https://youtu.be/i9yaigJ76T0

Doc Trez and I used the new messaging ability on the app. It honestly worked really well! One note though, it would be great if we could send images through the chat.

When Blat makes these videos and he pulls a random name out the hat that cracks me up.
”Someone’s gonna ask well exactly how much did you cut off, I don’t know Gerald about that much .” Lol 😂 ( from the Top 3 baits for sight fishing YT short )

Bass do not read the books on fishing. Our weather has been rainy all week and a twenty degree drop in air temperatures. Today, I saw Barde post catching bass so that encouraged me to brave the 20mph winds. The local reservoir was muddy and choppy. My expectations were low.
Boy was I wrong. I caught fish on all my presentations. Spinnerbait, crankbait, Texas rigged craw, swim bait, fluke and I even got my first fish on a hollow belly frog. (Bobby inspired). Now I would not have won a tournament but I sure had a lot of fun getting bites. 😀

Thank you BLat!
I never thought I'd need the videos about boat electronics being a predominantly bank angler, however I watched some of them anyways. Glad I did! I've recently been invited to be a co-angler/teammate for next year's tourneys. Went on the boat yesterday evening and thought I was going to be intimidated by the electronics. Wasn't the case at all (except the live scope). Being on the back, I watched down and side scan for structure and was thankful I knew for the most part what I was looking at and for. While he scanned for fish, I was casting to structure, etc.
Going to be a heck of a transition for me fishing deeper water (going to be buying a lot of heavier terminal tackle lol). If I ever thought having a boat with electronics/live scope would make it easier, that notion is gone!

Just created an account on this site and want to introduce myself. I mark. I live on the banks of the Tennessee River here in Florence Alabama. If you don't find me on the river then you'll find me fly fishing for Smallmouth in the creeks. I love Auburn, fishing, hunting, Arrowhead hunting and riding horses. WAR DAM EAGLE!
