As Promised here is the first fish on the Workhorse today. Caught four in total from the back of my buddy’s boat. Rod looks & feels great, (Even though gloves were a must all day.) Could feel the bites well and the bottom. Can’t complain when your first fish on a new rod is 2lbs and some change.

Thanks again sir for building it! Will get another when I have another one break. Send thanks again to your wife again in the shipping department.

Brian Barde Thank you sir! Stay tuned for first catch hopefully on Monday. #Workhorse

Hope you all had a Happy Thanksgiving! I spent it back home in South Carolina fishing one of my favorite ponds in Bamberg County loaded with cypress trees and grass. Was rewarded with a few on a chattebait and also put one of my daughters on one…. she was locked in….❤️….

Is anyone else having issues with the live?

One Tourney left in our season with the potential of earning the 2024 AOY trophy. If you are bored circle a spot on the lake and I’ll try to fish it this coming Saturday in your honor. 🏆 Its only my 3rd time on this lake. Have been using some of the tips from the last live fall fishing lesson to research it and build a plan. Will keep you posted on Saturday of how it’s going real time and try to take some pics while fishing your suggestion. Good luck to everyone else getting a line wet this weekend or if you have an upcoming Tourney!

Got into a lil fall tourney on Lake Mayo in NC today with a buddy. Caught a lot of fish just not the right ones or the right species. Weighed in 5 for 8lbs and some change, winner had 15. The fall rides are better than any other time of the year. If it were a Chain Pickerel Tourney we would have had 20+ 🤣. Get out there befor all the leaves are gone!!

Happy Halloween Gang!…..Baits > Candy all day!

2025 MLF Schedules Came in Mail Today. Of course always subject to change. Sharing so you can plan accordingly if you plan on fishing them. They are also up to date in the app if you have it. 💪
