Bass fishing tip: want to catch more fish than your buddies? Everyone loves throwing a whopper plopper or choppo. Use a mini buzzbait to give the fish something different to look at 🔥

Lately I took a couple days off of social media. The reason for this is because we have spent the past 5 days moving to Macon, Georgia! It has been crazy, especially with a 5 month old. However, this is what is best for our family.

With that said, anyone have any good fishing spots in the middle Georgia area? I can’t wait to start exploring some new water!

Happy Father’s Day to the man that got me obsessed with this river fishing thing! He showed, and continues to show, me more than that. His support, vulnerability, guidance, patience, strength, faith, and leadership are the values that continue to influence me to this day!

Also, he is a trout 🔨if you can’t tell!

know it’s Father’s Day and we are supposed to appreciate all the fathers out there, including me. However, somehow I still feel like the one who is blessed. Thank you God for blessing me with the responsibility of raising the sweetest little girl in the entire world ♥️

Happy Father’s Day!

God gifted our family with the absolute best mother for our little girl. I know the days can feel long and challenging. Everything is so new and sometimes it seems like we have no idea what we are doing as parents. Our goal as parents is to love our little girl the way God does. Some days we may do a better job than others. I know some days she even wonders if she’s doing a good job as a mom.

Then, when I see our little girl look at her mommy and give her the cutest no-teeth smile in the whole world I know the answer to that question. This innocent, pure little girl absolutely loves her momma. Her momma gives so much energy to show our girl how much she is loved and I know God smiles at that. If it’s enough to make God smile, it’s enough for me. I am so blessed ♥️

Happy First Mother’s Day Mimi Olson! Here’s to many more!

My best shoal bass on the Crescent Kayaks shoalie from the Kayak Adventure Series shoaliepalooza! Caught this one the old school way with just a paddle and a kayak… Not exactly a 20” but still fun to catch fish like this in inches of water! Thank you for the 🔥 pic!

Got lucky this weekend and won the first round of the Georgia 444 challenge. After being sick on Friday I’ll take the win haha shoutout to Alex Perz, fishing teammate and friend, for taking a close 2nd and honestly should’ve beaten me if he wasn’t unlucky and lost a fish right at the boat. Sometimes I guess the odds are ever in your favor!

Caught my 2 fish on the trusty wacky rig and a white and chartreuse spinnerbait with gold blades! Those gold blades stand out in tannic water. The only fish I caught were next to the creek channel around a pack of cypress trees mixed in with some grass.

Lessons learned this weekend:

USE THE NET: I lost 1 at the boat because I tried to boat flip him on a spinning reel and he popped off. I was being lazy because he wasn’t very big.

DOUBLE CHECK YOUR GEAR: I set the hook on a solid one and I did not have my drag set correctly. She ended up wrapping me around the knees of a cypress tree.

FIND WHAT STICKS OUT: fishing wooded cypress trees can be challenging, but I ended up focusing on areas with cypress trees next to the creek channel. Anglers can get into the habit of randomly flipping baits tree after tree all day and end up with nothing. However, I focused on areas near the creek channel and it paid off.

Whether you feel 100% or not, no excuse for sloppy performances. Either way, it was a fun morning.

Thank you Justin Speece and others for putting on an awesome tournament! Thank you Festive Water Paddlesports for keeping my kayak rigged up and ready for the water! The Jackson Kayak Fishing Coosa FD was perfect for these trees. The pedal drive would kick up when they hit a root so the shaft would not get damaged. The Boonedox groovy console allows my net to be right there to net the big one with ease!

I got one on my Jackson Kayak Fishing coosa fd. Trust me, it is one of the best upgrades you could do.
