Looks like we’ve got those red eyes in VA!

Had another successful day on a new lake. Threw everything at them today and even reached out to Mack for some advice—he suggested working a ned rig on some points. After some trial and error and a lot of used plastic baits, I finally got three to bite on a Texas-rigged Kreature bait, dragging it slooooooowly along submerged logs near a few points.

Last night’s class was FIRE (my 12 yr old is teaching me new lingo)! If you missed it… ouch.
After listening to Mack talk about getting back to your roots, I decided to turn off the graph and start hammering docks and shoreline like it was 110 degrees outside. It finally paid off with a solid bite on a Minimax ChatterBait paired with a Z-Man Goat trailer.
I’ve officially caught my winter bass, and not by staring out of a shanty window on a frozen lake!
