We have a live class Tonight. I'm going to be talking about early season smallmouth fishing with Trevor Lo. 8pm EST

I have some less than ideal news. Last week I came down with what I thought was just a “bug”. I pushed through and fished my tournament but it got worse everyday. Turns out I either had the flu or maybe even Covid! 🥹 I went in to urgent care this morning. That ended in had x-rays and an antibiotic 5 hours later. I never filmed anything last week. I just didn’t have any energy. In some weird way I’m glad to know I actually was sick because it felt like I was “un-motivated” which is something I’ve never really experienced. I should be solid in a few days of rest. We have a live school this Wednesday. I think I’ll be good by then but I’ll probably still be coughing quite a bit. I want to have a few of you on the live. Anyone want to come on? Let me know.

How do you work on casting accuracy at the lake?

Here’s the top 10 from the last straight up fishy classic. Congratulations to all that competed this month. Are you registered for the tournament in June yet? Registration is open in shopblat.com

Monday I leave for the next Tour event on lake Eufaula. Looking forward to solving problems, building some plans and executing on opportunities.

You gotta rig your swimbaits correctly!!!

Here's the 3 colors I'm fishing mostly right now in my soft plastics. Let me know yours as well.

Worms - Smoke purple, Green pumpkin Goby, Coopertruese

Topwater - Propbait is white with black back. Frog is white and black, big walking topwater for herring spawn is chrome

Jerkbait - Regurgitated shad. (only one)

Spinnerbait - Bluegill and white/ chart

Swimbait - Pearl and opening night

That's all I have tied on right now....

There's a time to peg your sinkers and a time I feel like it's best to leave it alone!

Just a reminder that I worked on a mini workshop with the wacky rig. This is will certainly catch you some bass RIGH NOW
