I get frustrated with the "fish can hear my sonar debate" online. Blat has debunked this as well. Here is an article I put together. Let me know what you think. It is broken down into three section. Section 1 - Just tell me if they can hear it. Section 2 - Just tell me why they can't hear it. Section 3 - Yeah right, prove it scientifically. Here is a blog I put together: https://www.bassfishingtips.net/blog/can-bass-hear-your-sonar-the-definitive-answer-one-of-fishings-hottest-debate.html

Getting chilly up here

We have a polar votex coming our way next week and the temps are getting well into the 20's - It is time to winterize the Falcon. Here is a pic of the last 2 2025 bass caught from the Falcon. It was a great season and I am ending it with 101 inches of fish on the SUF board. What a great year and I am thrilled I got to share it with all of you. THanks Again BLat for sponsoring me and supporting me with the BFL's.
