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!

Mack Daddy Toon is breaking down junk fishing at the Communtiy Live tonight, and I can’t wait to learn more! Anyone else curious about this style of fishing? Just set my notifications so I don’t miss the live, see y’all there!

For anyone still searching for a place to stay, I spoke with the renters of my Airbnb, and they may have extra space available for a few tents or campers if needed. To get a better idea, how many of you are still struggling to find accommodations and would be interested? The location is about 15 minutes from Calhoun State Park.
