If you could change 1 thing about yourself to make you a better angler what would that be? For me it'd be getting back to the basics. Watching the recap of B.Lat's last tournament and watching him throw the "ball and chain" aka Carolina rig around touched home with me. I grew up throwing the C-rig. I've spent thousands on electronics and figure I'd better use my FFS, when in fact the older techniques are proven techniques that can flat out catch them.

The ol jig was getting thumped today! Best 5 went for 15lbs

Made a change to a lighter weight and immediately started getting bites flipping lay downs.

I went practicing for a club tournament this weekend. We're fishing a clear lake which isn't too common in Texas. Given the time of yr and water temps, my mindset was to fish shallow while looking for beds. I went a few hours with no bites. While scanning a pocket I noticed a lot of bait. Dropped the trolling motor and saw that the fish were on bait and got my 1st clue. I then went to other pockets and ran that pattern.... I've definitely got a game plan going into Saturday.

I know we all want to get to our fishing spots and get to catching them, but one of the things that seems to be less talked about is water/boat safety. Keep your head on a swivel and always pay attention to your surroundings.

Making memories with my grandson!

Skipping a jig under docks paid off today

Riding around scanning some areas and found 1 hiding in the tires.

I just want to say that I'm grateful to be apart of the SUF community. I've learned so much from each and every one of yall(yes I'm a country boy with the YALL) and to know that there's so many people who are ate up with fishing just as much as I am 🤣

Safe fishing everyone!
