Wanted to close out the year with a big Tuckasegee smallmouth, but my guy here had other plans! Happy New Year, y’all!

Life is good…I made a compilation of my favorite catches of the year. It’s been a tough year off the water, and fishing has provided me with a tremendous source of escape and joy. This community has made me infinitely better at catching all of my target species, and I’m so grateful for it. I can’t wait to keep it rolling in 2026!! Merry Xmas and happy New Year…God is so good!!!

Great week in The Smokies!

Fathers Day fushes! Black and blue jig in bank bushes!

Swim jig in bank grass(lilypads)—This stuff really works!

Been too busy to make posts, but never too busy to fish…here’a few pics to catch y’all up on what I’ve been up to. Life is beautiful!

Respectable and fun day on the reservoir last week. Beat up the banks with a 7” speed worm and had a blast!

Hey y’all…I have a campsite reservation at Calhoun Falls for Thurs-Sun that I need to cancel today to keep from forfeiting the entire cost of the reservation. I’m getting ready to cancel it so be at the ready to snap it up…let me know in the next few minutes if you want it and we can probably do a transfer…

Looks like team SUF co-angler Nathan Sipes placed 5th at Santee Cooper yesterday and earned himself a little gas and beer money for his trouble. 10-04 (3) on a chilly SC day is a good result; there are a lot of zeroes on the weigh-in page!

14-15 on his limit now! Something big happened…looks like he’s getting some mo’ going!
