This time of year gets tricky to do a workshop on! I feel like some of you are still in the spring transition while many of you are already experiencing summer fishing as well. I think I'll do one more spring workshop before moving on to summer workshops. How's that sound for you guys?

This is the knot that I use for braid to fluorocarbon. Do I have any FGers in the community? What's your experience?

I'm gonna be filming a SUF episode in Florida on Lake Kissimmee. Would any of my Florida anglers be up for a meet up/hangout on Kissimmee? We can breakdown the lake together maybe grab a bite to eat. Reach out and let me know if you're going to be in the area!

With topwater fishing being everyone's favorite. Which topwater are you guys throwing now?

Just a side note. Some of you may be trying to register for the SUF tournament. If you're having trouble we are trying to figure it out. for some of you the link is not working. For some of us there's no problem. That's why it's a little tricky to troubleshoot. If you're trying to register and can't shoot me a message here and I'll make sure we manually get you in if nothing else.

I'd encourage all of you to fish for different species at certain time of the year. Here's why. No matter where you live bass fishing will become a bit tough and at times redundant at some point during the year. That's not always fun. Fishing has to stay fun or at some point you'll quit. I've found that fishing for other species keeps my mind fresh. I've learned so many other little details about fishing through other species as well. Each species has something to offer that will give you a better understanding of how fish move and survive. Ultimately that's all we are trying to do. Bream fishing, saltwater fishing, crappie, trout, striper all are good ways of building your skill set. Have fun and don't feel like you have to always fish for bass to get better at bass fishing.

A new workshop dropped. I'll be in the comments responding to questions for the next hour or so.

I have some new technique breakdowns dropping this week. Make sure you guys check your emails. If you aren't getting the notifications let me know.

Spring topwater selection

My boys and I went out exploring yesterday. We used some ultralight gear to catch a rare species of bass that only lives here in SC. The one in the photo is a largemouth though.
