A good summer bass this weekend with Destiny Siguenza with temps on my units showing 86-90 between the Lowrance and Garmin just know it was HOT. Skipping some floating docks in 28-30ft of water was the ticket. They were also on the ladder looking things. Lots of shade. The old Neko rig did the job yesterday.

One other cool thing yesterday was watching them have big bait balls corralled into a pocket and watching them bust up the schools with FFS. There were schools of shad absolutely everywhere in this particular pocket. I did catch one throwing into the chaos too. Did anyone else bear the the heat this weekend and get out?

Fished my first national level kayak tournament on Champlain weekend before last. It was a really dope experience. A larger field than I’ve been up against with some of the best competition around. Managed a 95th out of 158. Happy with that. One thing I did learn personally is how deadly FFS can be. I’ve used it on others peoples boats, but in your own hands In your control it was a different ball game. I caught my limit of 5 and all of them but one I caught using the tech. Whether it was seeing them or targeting submerged cover I benefited from it. Practice was horrendous days prior & this my first time with it on the kayak. All in all I’m really proud of myself getting out there and conquering some fears and accomplishing some growth.

Check your livewell!

Evidence of what they are eating! 8,786 crawfish spit up in Brian Latimer livewell at the ST Lawrence this past weekend. Great way to stay on top of forage they prefer. Little tiny 🦞.

Question for everybody:

Have you ever seen this before? Anything odd you’ve ever seen in your livewell?

For those who asked in the roundtable, I did a podcast on men’s mental health and a bit of my journey through life. A podcast about the angler behind the fishing. Have a great day.

Thanks for listening if you can 🙏🏽

Thought I’d throw it out there. Last night in the round table I mentioned this. Some people asked what we use. This is a great travel rod on a budget. Destiny Siguenza and myself have been using this for several years. Caught smallies in Colorado to big buckets in Texas. Not much to it, but it gets the job done. This paired A 2500 spinning reel along side a small box of tackle with finesse swimbaits, jerkbaits, wacky rig stuff maybe some poppers, walking baits and of course some Ned rig and shakey head stuff; you can really get a lot done when you’re traveling or even keeping it in your car. If you’re on a business trip or something and have some ponds by your hotel etc it’s great way to explore some new water. Tight lines fam 🎣

What’s on everyone’s fishing menu this weekend?

Going any place new?

Myself and Destiny Siguenza are headed to Dale Hollow in the yaks for the first time.

Has anyone fished there before?

Hey hey y’all! A little bit ago I held a “Roundtable Live” about nutrition, hydration & the importance of rest in regards to fishing.

Thank you for coming to chat in my live if you did!

There was some interest in the supplementation that I was recommending to help achieve and optimize these avenues.

***disclaimer***
I am not a doctor, personal trainer or nutritionist, but I do have a lot of learned and applied knowledge I have accrued through many years of personal development. Do your own research.
****************

-magnesium/blends-

  • https://a.co/d/1eKHrgS SynerMag. Great stuff. Taken before bed & with dinner it will help you relax and keep your muscles loose throughout the day. Helps with recovery. A lot of people would be surprised by the benefits of magnesium and the amount of positive benefits it will bring.


-Drink supplements/hydration multiplier-Ultimately it’s about how your body can uptake the liquid through improved osmolality & getting the electrolytes back in your body that you sweat out and use through physical activity.


A good recommendation is half your body weight in pounds to in ounces of water a day. 200lbs, drink 100oz. Ultimately you’ll know if you need more or less. Varies with activity level and temperature.

If you’re salt sensitive take that into account. More dilution with more water can help that.

-Mental focus and nootropics-


A sharp mind helps many things. Quicker decision making and mood boosts will always be welcomed.

-Sleep supplements/help-


Other recommendations I would have is cut
Your water at the end of your day so your not waking up to pee and disrupting your sleep.

-Going forward-
There’s a lot to this whole topic and I would be glad to help anyone interested in such. I’m here if you need me! Food and exercise I’m all ears. It’s a lifestyle.

Chris W. 💪🏽
