Find your zone, try to get into it and have faith. I try to do this: Do not dwell on partner's absence; instead, view it as an opportunity to get into your zone without distraction. Your decisions are now simplified and are just yours, not a coordination. You can break down your tournament into manageable chunks and focus on only the next fish, one spot, and one hour at a time. Try to make sure your internal dialogue is positive? For example, if you say, "I am at a disadvantage fishing alone," change that to, "I can adapt more quickly without coordinating decisions." Keep your energy up, hydrate, eat, and maintain focus. As BLat says, know what you are good at and your confidence baits, then find those fish. It is essential to have faith and visualize yourself handling the tournament well and managing the situations effectively.

The Onboard maps are good. The HDS Pro also does overlay as you drive to update the maps.

I am eager for 50 degrees in the morning and 70 degrees in the afternoon. I have a few more weeks or months to wait for that. This is the time of year when I start to feel stir-crazy.

I guess today was a reflection day. The last 16-18 months have been transformative - a whirlwind of growth, learning (some good some not so good), new opportunities, adventures and achievements. Bring on 2025, :-)

I am grateful to have found SUF, Brian Latimer, and Straight Up Fishing. The mentorship, friendships, and growth I experienced transformed my approach to tournament bass fishing and my involvement in the fishing community.

As Ken and I prepare to represent SUF, Z-Man, Level Rods, and others in the 2025 MLF BFL Northeast Division, I want to express my gratitude. Your guidance helped me turn overwhelming options into confidence on the water, finding my fish.

Here's to continuing the journey and enjoying the SUF experience of learning, sharing and growing.
