Nice! 2025 will be exciting for the SUF family! Looking forward to your ideas revealed tonight.

So true! In the last few years, I have realized that bass can’t read and they don’t follow “what the book says”. Quite often the experience is telling you something either way, bite or no bites. The real questions could be are we paying attention, are we filling in the blanks, are we comprehending what the bass are telling us and can we complete the thought process for more success.

We need to be intentional in our actions throughout the fishing day. Keeping the proper mindset and a willingness to adapt, change and maybe go against conventional thinking may lead to success.

Redefining success as a learning experience instead of the size of your catch bag may be the most beneficial attribute gained in your fishing adventures. 😀🎣

Awesome opportunity. Let’s go SUF Family!

Barde….my man! Somebody going stir crazy not being on the water. 😀😀

Me too! Good thing I have football and hockey in the wintertime.

Oh no , brother. I hope it works out for you. I’m up for a road trip if you need someone to tow your boat. I’m always ready as a co-angler. 😀

Under the more tab is the BFL rules below

13. PERMITTED FISHING METHODS • Fishing is defined as having a lure attached to a line and a rod and reel with the rod in hand. All bass must be caught alive in a conventional sporting manner. All lures must adhere to state regulations. Only artificial lures may be used, with the exception of pork trailers and biodegradable soft baits. All lures are limited to a maximum of five wires with a maximum of five spinners, five lures and three hooks (single or treble) unless state regulations are more restrictive, in which case state regulations prevail. Only ONE fishing rod may be used at a time. Trolling as a method of fishing is strictly prohibited. Trolling is defined as operating the combustion engine to extend a cast or lengthen a retrieve. Co-anglers may not assist boaters and boaters may not assist co-anglers with the use of underwater cameras and viewing systems, including but not limited to floggers, bathyscopes and similar systems. All bass caught while sight-fishing must be hooked inside the mouth and immediately shown to your boater or co-angler for verification.

Welcome Alex. Never been that far north from Virginia. Good work.
