Tossing Japanese Coike baits on a drop

Shot today on long points and humps .

Fishing ditches with rock

Bronco bug on a free rig was the ticket this morning .

So I keep hearing shad spawn shad spawn but 2 of my local lakes have no shad . Could you talk about that a bit Brian Latimer ? They are both planted trout lakes and both have produced 15lb + largemouths

Anyone watching MLF today Jake Lawrence on his last cast beats out Wheeler . What a great reminder it’s never over till it’s over !

What a awesome showdown today .

Does buzzbait break in matter ?

I don’t know but I guess it can’t hurt .

Saturday’s Tournament California cold front pushed in and snowed on us .

4th place with 13.25

Senko

Smh worm on power shot

Shaker head

I couldn’t feel my hands what do you guys use for gloves ?

The Z man Fatty Z on a shakeyhead has caught me over 50 fish the last 2 tournaments.

I haven’t been using a ton of Zman products in the past but im a huge believer now. I’m picking up some of the SMH worms to give them a shot also.

Hope this helps someone.

16.74 for 3rd place today .

Post frontal conditions I tried to find The big large mouth but ended up finding some really nice spots so I stuck with that. My big fish was 4.38 and the shaky head was King. I got the rest of docs flipping a senko.

Club Tournament At a mountain lake I can prefish Tuesday that would be 4 days before or Friday 1 day before ? What one do you pick and why ?

Mid pack finish Saturday . Lost 2 fish that could of changed the tournament for us and also learned the hard way to re tie more often than not .
