Had a great weekend! SUF School must be helping!

I have two tournaments this weekend. Adversity is dope, right? Injector fails last Sunday. It was delivered Wednesday night, installed, configured and tested Wed. night (yesterday), Thursday my buddy and I went to Lake George to hit some pre-spawn beauties. We had a great day on the water. On the way home my leaf spring decided it had enough. Adversity is Dope, and I really want to make it to these two tournaments this weekend... I know what I will be doing today.

Smallmouth Tank

Today was tough fishing up here in the NE. The water temperature is trending down. Fish are pre-spawn, some spawn, and they seem to be scattered. After 4 hours of trying different baits and techniques, I did manage to get a pattern going. It was a slow jig bite on vertical structure with some weed cover close. BTW, the Straight Up Fishing TV Sweatshirt is thick, soft and warm.

Good Luck today Brian Latimer  at the MLF on Lake Eufaula https://majorleaguefishing.com/events/2024-05-10-lake-eufaula/

Tournament went OK, learned a lot. Fish were not on beds yesterday and late this morning beds were popping up.

Smallmouth caught while practicing for tournament this weekend. Hope I can find her again and she bites this weekend.
