Did something other than fishing……….took the wife out to see Third Day in concert. They were awesome.

Fished in my club tournament today and got over 10 pounds in just 3 bass.

Got my Potomac River “Vibe” back on today. WOOT, WOOT!!!! Let’s go!!!

Ok, so I attended the 2026 Spring Retreat and BLat said “ Don’t be fancy or cool out there fishing”. Well, those that know me know that I have plenty of fancy and cool lures. So I listened for once and committed to techniques that I don’t usually fish.

Barde is master at the jig so I fished it often the past few days and caught several fish. Learning along the way.

I then caught most of my fish Sunday on a Carolina Rig. While I have fished the rig before , I had zero confidence or real experience in the rig. Now, I have confidence in the rig, learned a lot in several hours, refined my skills in the presentation and actual caught numerous fish. Moving forward I now have a tool that will enable me to catch fish in a confident manner. This was definitely outside my comfort zone and I am thankful that BLat encourages us to try something.

SUF Family- It was such a great pleasure to meet everyone in person. This is truly a unique community and I am so thankful for being a member. We came together because of a bass fishing interest but we stay together because we truly care for one another. BLat shines as our ambassador to truly teach everyone to catch more bass. In these times, this community is bringing people together through conversations, experiences and in person retreats. Friendships are be developed, skills are being refined and smiles are upon community faces. All good things.

Blat- thank you for your time and energy for the community. Each of us have a purpose in life and it is evident this is your purpose. You are teacher in your heart, authentic, passionate, inspiring to the future of bass fishing and building a community to pay it forward. Blessed and grateful to be a part of it.

5:30pm. 15 inch spot

Look who found me to take me to the retreat. The A-Team is back. Barde/ Pfeiffer!!

I got my BLat coloring book for my grandson yesterday. Nice! Order thru Amazon for home delivery!

Air temps in the 40’s with 20-30 mph winds and I’m all bundled up. Bass don’t react like humans do to weather someone once said. Sometimes you just need to run a Chatterbait over the emerging lily pads. Caught 13 today, biggest fish weighted 4.68 lbs. 😀

SUF and Barde are bad influences on me. I had to go upgrade my John boat for a Tracker Pro Team 195tx so I could enter more tournaments. 😀

Sweet ride today breaking it in.

I’ll still be at the retreat in Barde’s Falcon ride. 🎣😊
