Just getting out of the high school bass tournament world (boat captain for my son) and back into kayak tournament fishing. So many bad examples out there for the kids coming up related to honesty and integrity. I appreciate you demonstrating both here and setting a good example. Keep up the good work and great content.

@Funwithhighnotes 2 жыл бұрын
Welcome to Fork, where hearts are broken every day! lol. We have a place on Fork. It’s a battle to catch em. The Florida strain bass are nowhere near as aggressive as other strains. That coupled with pressure and an abundance of natural forage to eat, it’s tough figuring out what artificial lure will trick them on any given day. Yes, tons of water snakes. Every shoreline is full of them. Also, the fish you were seeing jumping were probably turtles. The lake is loaded with them and it took me a while to decipher surface movements. Sorry the trip wasn’t what you’d hoped but glad you made it down here!

I fished my but off in one tournament and after 4 hours of no bites, on a day when everyone was struggling like crazy-I got a huge 4 pounder that would have put me in the top three- Except he flopped out of my boat before I was able to record him....Ill never forget that moment!!!!

Lake Fork can be brutal man. I have a kayak tournament there tomorrow we are having to do things weird with the virus thing going on. No meetings in person, drive through style pay in for entry fees and weigh in and payouts will not be together either. I’ve still never put a limit together on that lake and it seems crazy being one the most famous lakes in Texas. So hoping for some bites out there tomorrow.... stay safe and healthy sir. When this virus stuff finally comes to an end it would great to have you come back to fish another event in Texas and maybe I’ll get to meet you.

It was a big lake and location location location was key. You inched me out on the scoreboard. I am on the scoreboard right behind you. "Cristian Astorga." I fished out of a Native Titan.

The bite definitely changed on tournament day unless you were targeting bed fish. The stagers pushed back a little after the sun came out and all the boats arrived. I had to throw a Tx rigged baby brush hog in California 420 as well to catch all my 15 inchers in the afternoon! lol

TPWL did an incredible job of creating a Bass Paradise......their present paradise is Naconishe with incredible sized fish.....
