The DQ from the Big O was rather egregious from listening to the other anglers that are familiar with the situation and have spoken out about it. Even though the info he got was 3 months before the tournament, he actively participated and sought info during the no info window and it was caught on film. That’s an instant DQ no matter how you read the rules. BASS let him save face on that one but he was under a microscope.

Guys like Hackney, Swindle, Gufsafson and Feider have gone on podcasts in the last month and all been very open about how they feel about the Scott Martin’s DQ at Okeechobee. They all have said that he has a history of doing the same thing for years. I was pissed that BASS allowed Scott Martin to control the narrative and he claimed that he self reported, he certainly did not and he asked for info on video.

With Trump running up decent margins, what are the realistic expectations for these races. I thought 53 was close to the cap for the Senate and the House would be close but we may see some Republicans get pulled across the finish line. Any guesses?

The Americans and Justified are both incredible.

If you want to make the run to Chandelier Islands or anywhere in Breton Sound, I would go with a 24’ bay boat of you preference. Lake Borgne can get bad, but most of Biloxi Marsh/Shell Beach/MRGO can be done with a smaller boat.

I do my best to catch a few games here and there. I’m pissed that I have to fly to Tampa for a wedding and will miss the dome experience. It’s nice to see the Greenies play well, there is considerably more talent than when we were there.

I caught 84 keeper white trout/specks mixed just drifting reefs on lakes/bays north of the MRGO long rocks two weeks ago. Tons of small fish but we picked through and put together a really good box. That area is so big, so fish fast. If you pull up on birds or an oyster reef, give it 5 minutes and move. Once you catch a few, then you can alter presentation and change color to dial it in. I look for clean water, bait, moving water, slicks, structure, and basically anything that is different. It’s so easy to get lazy while out there but if you fish fast, you will catch more fish 100%.

I can help you with Hopedale, Start in Bay Eloi, Black Bay or the long rocks and fish east until you catch some. I know that’s a very large area but it will eliminate a ton. Fish oyster reefs, rigs, birds or rocks. The fish are definitely still out. Lake borgne had a big algae bloom last week but you can probably catch reds on the rocks and cuts.

Fished Bay Eloi Sunday and caught at ton of throw back trout and hard heads but ended up with damn near 80 white trout and specks mixed. We caught fish everywhere we went.

Let’s do it
