Thank you for the sponsorship!! Y’all better be glad I ain’t in the championship with all these SMH worms I got !!!!

Co-angler: The boater is not a guide. He’s fishing his tournament and you are fishing yours. Try not to complain about where you’re fishing or your not catching any fish. As a co. We have to learn to fish in any situation, but I think it’ll make you a better fisherman! Also you paid your money to fish so don’t let him bully you! 1: when you get the text the night before you’ll get your boaters name and number, and your take off number. When you call him don’t chit chat to much. I ask when where, if we are fishing deep or shallow. Also find out what color his rig is so you can find him the next morning. 2: if you don’t feel comfortable backing the boat in the water let your boater know, if he has a problem with that it’s his problem. If you are good backing it in then do it. 3: when you are getting things ready there’s not really a rule of how many rods you bring but from experience if you bring over five rods it gets to be a pain in the rear keeping them untangled and in order, and you get one compartment in there boat don’t bring a bunch of tackle bags and lunchboxes. Try to bring everything you need in one bag and if it’s to big to go in his compartment then you’ll be holding it while your flying down the lake jumping wake’s. Most tackle bags will fit in them just be careful about bringing a duffel bag. 4: respect his boat. Do your best to clean your shoes. And try to keep your equipment organized. 5: Don’t get discouraged when fishing in the back of the boat. You can’t make your cast in front of the console all your casting needs to be the back half of the boat. And the boater is going to position the boat best for him. I have some more I’ll add. I had a emergency and had to drive back to Arkansas. I’ll add what we talked about in the round table. BRING YOUR OWN LIFE JACKET

Thank you B-lat picked up a SMH worm and didn’t put it down

Brian is sitting in 6th place so far with 8 lb 15 ounces! He’s in a real good position. LETS GO B-LAT!!

I wanted to let anyone that’s coming to the retreat that doesn’t have a boat I’ll bring 2 they’re not bass boats but we can get out there and find some fish! So if you don’t have a boat and haven’t found someone to ride with.

Got the main floor down and covered

Well lake Hartwell kicked my but! I got one fish maybe 2 1/2 3 lbs on a SMH worm to the boat and I reached down and almost got my hand to him and the line popped.{I’ll be changing all my line today) Had a young boater that was a very good respectful young man. We were scoping all day. But I’m not using that for an excuse we got close to a few docks which is where I lost the only bite I got. I just didn’t execute! At the end of the day the Lord gave us a gorgeous day and I had a great time trying!! I will learn how to catch fish deep without any electronics of it kills me lol and I will learn to make my opportunities count! Some how still 34 in points and Sante Cooper is in 3 weeks so I’ll be researching it and try to be ready to get the job done there.

Almost time!

Time to go! I hope lake HARTWELL is good to me today good luck everyone!!
