What to do when not catching fish

You would be surprised on how much newer fisherman ask this question. I went around ask asked 10 people what they would do if they weren’t catching any fish, 8 out of those 10 people said they would give up, now granted I dont know these People so I don’t know how much they are into the sport. Only two out of the ten people I asked said they would keep fishing. This is the answer I would give anyone who isn’t catching anything. Just keep fishing don’t just give up you never know when the double digit bass is right in front of you

Pre Spawn Chomp...

What a great day on the lake! Headed out on the small lake to see if we could find some bass. I decided to throw one of my 1.5” square bills in a simple shad pattern I recently painted. Well 20 minutes into the trip and I smash a nice chunk. Worked out way down and Seen a nice little hump with some fish around it. Boom slammed my second bass. Got slow there and we motored over a nice ledge from 1.5 to 10 feet very quickly. Made a few passes along the drop and was able to dig down and grab another in about 8 feet of water. cruised Around some docks and lost a real big pickerel. Thought that snot rocket was gonna snap me for the lucky crank I was running but he didn’t. Got off good! While heading in after about 4 hours we decided to work the banks and caught a total of 7- bass 1- crappie and a chomping from a toothy critter. I would say my custom painted 1.5” square bill went through a rigorous test today and passed with flying colors. Great day for me out there. #gethooked #louslures #fishingfiends

Getting a boat ready for the year

Once this ice melts, people can become very anxious to get on the water. This happened to me 😂😂. First thing to do is clean, then load it up with all of your gear. Make sure the bottom of the compartments and lockers are clean too, this is widely overlooked by a lot of people. Secondly, get a full tank of gas and new fluids (lower unit and/or upper). Charge up all the batteries, and pull it out. Next, get it cooled somehow with water and crank it over. Although you may “know it will start”, it is always best to let it run for about 10 minutes to make sure it gets fresh fuel in and will stay running. That’s it, now it’s time to get on the water, and always make sure to let the motor warm up a little longer in the beginning of the year, especially more if the water is cold.
