Dang, sorry I missed it. I got caught on the water in a storm.

YES! So many times

With a chatter bait being one of my confidence baits. I would probably drag a green pumpkin bladed jig over the top of the grass.

I’m not sure about the tide especially with out any idea where you’ll be. I would be surprised if the reds or trout will still be that far inland this time of year, at least from my experience. However I have seen mullet way up rivers year round.

It’s a 3/8 ounce head with a 4 inch Bandito bug body and the problem that I was trying to work out was , it kept rising in the water column. So I thought a trailer with a little more bulk might help to keep it down closer to the bottom..

BLat, did you by chance redo this one?  I would love to understand this better.

The brush pile I was fishing was fishing was the first cove we fished on Lake Wheeler

Keep moving forward my friend. Unfortunately I can relate to going through right now but we have our faith and keep fishing.

That looks really good

I really wish I had something awesome to add like these other folks.  It is encouraging to see you kept a positive attitude and are excited to grow to the next one.   

I guess one fun thing I try to keep in mind is "one cast can change your day/tournament."
