Birds! Birds! Birds! I’ve caught so many fish going into the winter around birds! Do you understand what happens when you see diving gulls?

I have a whole technique breakdown on skipping baits with a Baitcaster that I filmed last week. Be on the lookout for this breakdown!

The winner is Brian Barde‼️

Picking a winner tonight!

We’re doing a live class tonight at 8pm. Rescheduled in place of next week.

This weekend I fished with Dontrell Sullivan. He won the trip giveaway from the very first live we did a few weeks ago!

The weather this week made me want to go river wading and kayaking! Still in the upper 70s and 80s here.
