If you wear a BLat sweatshirt while fishing and show up to Lives, your chances increase by another 3.14%. I appreciate the SUF School and look forward to seeing everyone succeed at least 1% more than last time.

We have only used $0.03 of the $15, so we might be able to use it for a few weeks or months. 

According to the Bot you are correct :-) https://www.bassfishingtips.net/MLFRules.html

It is horrible and productive

Thanks Tim for sending me down that rabbit hole, LOL.

Turnover is frustrating, and the worst part is that I never know which day(s) it's going to happen. Another annoying aspect is arriving at a lake only to find that they just sprayed the weeds. From my experience, the fish completely shut down when they spray.

Want to talk about night and day differences on new water? 6 years ago at Schroon Lake, I was that guy - new boat, zero plan. Every spot looked "perfect," and I was paralyzed by options until exhaustion forced me to throw a spinnerbait for a couple lucky catches.

Then came BLat's wisdom about "keeping it simple" and doing homework. Club championship day (AOY on the line), I wasn't just prepared - I was confident. Studied the lake like a final exam, eliminated water, and got "in the zone."

Tournament morning: Two fish by 7 AM, limit by 11, hunted a kicker. Result: 15lb 1.6oz bag edged out one of our best by less than a pound for AOY. Real victory was the mental game - executing with confidence.

Thanks BLat - from "deer in headlights" to a winning strategy!
