Nice, that’s what I try to do too. 4 go-to boxes with mixed baits based on season, depth, etc… and 1 Zman blockz for plastics.  But I still find myself brining wayyy too much when I travel to a new lake.  

1-counting Brian’s SUF Classic last year.  But planning on signing up for club tournaments is ‘24

Love a Mepps!

Lakes and river flowages 

Brian Latimer I appreciate the insight!  Not saying I’m a better fisherman than the next guy but since November I’ve done nothing but look over notes, maps, the Lowrance app, get organized and plan for next year.  I’m also incredibly anxious to get back on the water to use what I’ve learned from your classes. 

LOL, I’ll let my wife know we’re moving.  I honestly never realized that (other than KVD) and I spent the majority of my life growing up on Lake Erie and St. Lawrence.  I’m down to discuss further in class. Thanks!

I think it’s a good idea to show the masses you don’t need an expensive bass boat to fish/compete.  Honestly that’s partly what kept me from entering local tournaments.  Felt I couldn’t compete with the boat I had.  Grew up on Lake Erie, bought my first boat in 2010. 1979 19’ Sylvan aluminum deep v.  Had it for a decade, and still caught plenty of bass out of it after finally gaining the courage to enter in Wednesday nighter tournaments. 

Hey happy to!  I actually made a 2.5 minute deep dive video before I knew it had to be a minute or less to post.  Happy Holidays!

I’ve used the Core Tackle hover rig a few times for really stubborn shallow bass.  It’s not a go-to for me but something I keep in the arsenal. It honestly reminds me of using the Banjo Minnow kit back in the day.  BLat Spinning Sick Stick for everything!

I’d be happy to!
