1. Bosses who don’t understand fishing isn’t luxury but a necessity. 2. Cost of all things fishing increasing 3. Fog delays- but I understand and respect the need for them. 4. Boaters who treat co-anglers as someone just along for the ride. 5. Co-anglers who don’t respect the time/money/effort boaters have invested.

Hard for me to compare the two. When catching one on a spinning rod and 8lb test vs bc with 40lb braid. They both are pit bulls in their own environment.

Man if I were me I’d scrap the bass fishing and grab an inshore charter. Snook trout red fish and tarpon, Can’t beat that my man.

Good luck in your next one. I fished BFLs last year and for the most part I enjoyed it. What division are you fishing? If I didn’t have work commitments I would be at chick this weekend.

Was interesting to watch what he was doing in that canal , never would have guessed.

Normal fantasy I have Clark still fishing, but in the top 300 in dtl

Poche is fishing the MLF event at Kissimmee this week, has made the knock out round. He is fishing both trails this year

@RDB I believe what @Deleted account is saying “prefishing” is = multiple trips prior to the off limits to learn a fishery. Plenty of folks have history on lakes on regional trails, if they have been doing it for a period of time. And with it sounding like it’s a one day jackpot on a fall fishery might as well be wide open at that point. Fall fishing has them scattered doing multiple different things so I think it lends its self to a junk fisherman covering water vs a summer time ledge comp. Correct if I’m wrong @Deleted account

From shore I usually try to find an area with steep break allowing me to fish it more vertically. Though I pick it straight up and allow it to pendulum back to me keeping the line slightly taught. I also use the cylinder weights instead of the cannon ball or bass casting wieght design. BPS makes them pretty cheap and if I break off it’s usually the weight, also I don’t use tungsten for DS.

You fishing as a co or boater? Big difference there. If you have a good practice and are on winning fish and it goes away tourney time something has changed. Start looking for structure near where you were catching them and try new presentations. Easy to say harder to do ha!!!! one day derbies can be tough cause some dudes are swinging for the fences hoping to hit that homer. I noticed it a lot fishing BFLs this year, as a co I was not prepared for that. I was fishing for good finishes trying to qualify for regionals so at times made it tough but in the end I made it.

I use the yo zuri as well. I think you should compare diameter to the floro lines you are thinking about moving to. Seaguar is really good line, can’t justify the gold like @roadwarrior but was plenty happy with the seaguar that I recently picked up at Walmart. Super supple had no issues throwing 10lb test for cb the others day.

BTL did a good interview with Jordan Lee on it. Was interesting to hear his take on it. Sounds like it was driven by the anglers. I liked the every fish counts and I’m sure I’ll like this…. But boy is it going to change up picking a fantasy team

Look on Craigslist for kayaks. There are deals to be had. Personally I have hobie PA12, and can car top it by myself. In a truck it would be a breeze. Plenty of similar styles out there. I would think models a couple years old will be floating for sale, and you might find a good deal on a brand new one with holiday events coming up. Also having a kayak will give you options to fish bigger lakes and creeks/rivers if you have any close by. Third if you ever get to saltwater you will be glad you one as well. Sure you will enjoy whatever you get, to get you off the bank!

I’ll give it a 5/10 hahaha decent attempt to spoof it. I thought for a quick min it was true footage hahaha. Did you happen to listen to the big water podcast on this? Pretty crazy the director was good buddies with at least one of the dudes.
