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. 🎣😊

When you go bass fishing but catch a 14inch Crappie…..🤪

First fish of 2026- Orange Chatterbait, 52 degree muddy water on the Potomac , two feet deep, bait went weightless on the retrieve, set the hook - bingo - fish

Updated——

7 fish caught on the Potomac today. Smallest fish was a 2.95 lb. Top five fish weighed in at 16.38 lbs and the highest water temp was 57 in the back of a creek.

Opened my fortune cookie today. Looks like the retreat is going to be a good one.

Getting ready for some springtime lipless cranking.
