Old school angler still learning after 50 years. Glad to be a part of the SUF Community and help any way I can.

Hey man. I’m in Central Florida. After I practice for the BFL next weekend let’s hook up and fish.

That is a direct reflection on good information you can use!

I doubt highly that FFS restrictions has anything to do with the numbers. I’d be willing to believe it has more to do with the crazy weather we all have had the past 2 months. I know I’ve talked to certain groups and that seems to be more of a deterrent, at least in my region.

Welcome to the community. Here is a quick cheat sheet. Figure out your confidence techniques (notice I didn’t say baits). Look at the predominate features of your body of water. That is two of the three parts of the process you will learn about here in the community. The rest will come when you figure those two out first and engage with the group.

I actually have a bag named “grubs”. I use them on occasion when in a heavily pressured area to show something that’s different. They also make the willow vibe rock and roll like crazy in a good way.

I’ve been down here over 20 years. This is very unusual to have cold fronts back to back that last this long.

First BFL for me is in the books. Ironically the most intimidating part of the entire experience was knowing I was launching as a boater with 152 other boats. Spoiler altert. It’s not that big of a deal.

Life Lesson:

Yesterday’s club tournament on Lake Okeechobee didn’t go as planned. I have a BFL derby there in 6 days. I’ve won big bag and big fish before on that lake. Quite frankly I got my teeth kicked in and skunked. I could blame the weather, the lake, the launch site, etc. As Jocko teaches, I take extreme ownership.

At this point I have 2 options.

1. Sit around today and lick my wounds agitated.

2. Go out today and practice making some adjustments.

I choose door #2. It’s cloudy and warm. Let’s fish and overcome unexpected results.
