Back home and resting today from the Georgia trip with Ray, we had 3 days on West point Lake and yesterday for the start of the Big Bass Challenge we were on Lanier. Lanier was a bust for me but had a good time. Found fish but all they would do is chase the bait, would not commit to strike. 
We did catch some good ones on West Point.
Looks like I will not have many fishing days for this Big Bass challenge due to a family medical issue.

Great Live with Mark, If you missed it be sure to check it out when it is put up.

Happy Fathers day all Dad's. Mine is going great.
Spending the day getting things ready for my West Point Lake trip, I leave Wednesday. Getting all my tackle back in my boat, Got 12 rods set up to cover every tactic i will be using. From topwater to bottom I got it covered. I consider thursday and Friday practice, and Saturday is Tournament day for the June into July SUF Big Bass challenge. I wanted to not only fish for Largemouth this time, but chase them Spotted bass.
Doing some mods on the baits i got from Doc, The hooks were too light for the blank and would roll to the side when ripping it. Found these and thought i would give them a shot, being thicker should add the right amount of weight. Yea they are Amazon specials but, the eye is aligned correct and they are sharp, not as sharp as some but in the application they will be fine. I do like the bend they have in them, I use EWG worm hooks in that style and have yet to miss a fish on them. anyone have any input on the Dovesun hooks?

Got in my baits yesterday Doc T. made for me and I would say it was a raving success, 45 minutes of fishing three bass. Did put a little bigger hooks on them to get them more balanced when ripping it thru the water but Doc's work is awesome! Now to decide what I can have him make next... I have Ideas

Waiting for Ray B.

Going to be another great day on Lake Toho'

EDIT, Pics added

Yes it was a good day on Toho, Ray got 12, I got 2. Ray was focused on big worms (I will let Ray make his comments on the Big Worms)while I focused on some old school Lake Toho tactics. And they worked because I did get big fish. Always a good time on the water with Ray.

Another great day on the water with Ray B. we went to a lake that as B-Lat would say "It SUUUUUUUCKKKSSS" Even Fishy places held nothing. But as always any day fishing with Ray is a good day. Ray grabbed 2 on his Jerkbait. Added the lake to the Do Not Fish list. Had good conversation as always, Keeping Mack T.at the forefront. Our thoughts and prayers are with you Brother.
