The worst thing about bass fishing
Inconsiderate people fishing that think they can cut you off or think you are fishing "their" spot

Back Seat Experiences
I fished with my brother for years out of his boat, still do. He would always position the boat (whenever possible) for both of us to fish. Since I got my boat its the same regardless of who is behind me. We are both there to fish and have a good time.

Trolling motor advice
24v always go with the bigger when it comes to motors. You can always slow it down but you can't speed up under powered motors.

Anyone buy a house on the lake? Fish more?
Having a vacation home on the lake has been the best purchase. I've owned it for 7years now. Love it! We talked about it for quite of few years and decided what are we waiting for? We want to use it before we are to old, so we purchased and haven't looked back. We told ourselves and still believe if we ever stop going then we will sell it. I don't see us selling anytime soon. It is so nice to have the boat on a lift. Previously, I would pass sometimes on fishing because I only had an hour or so, now I can fish for an hour or so and have the boat back on the lift in no time. Great purchase and I would do it again.

Batteries included with new bass boat????
When I bought a boat in 2016 the dealer said they were putting "these" batteries in, if I wanted something different then I would pay the difference. I was fine with that, I would think a new boat should have batteries.

I am suprised how efficiently you Kayak anglers can fit everything into your hull.
It's interesting when I take the kayak out, I only take 3 rods at the most depending on what and where I am fishing. In the boat it will be 10-15 rods with all the tackle. However, in the boat I still usually only use maybe 3 rods.

Color that surprised you
Seems like when I order something online I'm usually a few dollars away from free shipping. So I will buy a color that I normally wouldn't buy. Lime green and white worm has worked well.

What have you learned this fishing season?
I relearned that I should retie my lures after so many fish, especially when that is the last one of a certain a lure in the boat.

Whopper Plopper colors and size for LM.
I like the 110 as well simply because I can throw those things a mile.

How did you do this year?
I've had a great year. Didn't catch my PB but still caught a lot of fish. The good news is as I go into fall it's time to go catch the whites and hopefully some hybrids mixed in there

Favorite Fall Topwater
Buzzbaits in the fall and if they don't produce the whopper popper gets wet quickly.

Tournament Advice
For what its worth, when I go into an area of water blind, I try to use stuff that I know and am comfortable with and have success with in similar looking areas in the past. Fish to your strengths, good luck!

What indicates that it's going to be good day on the water?...
In July for about 3 weeks I went out and found the fish surfacing. In a couple hours 40-60 fish. When I got back my wife would ask me how it went? I said really good. She asked what would make a great day of fishing? I said catching an 8-10 lbs hybrid along with the bass.

Anyone else in my “boat”
This past weekend (Labor Day) was the first weekend boat wasn't out fishing since April. Fished off the dock this weekend, just too many boats. Have to make time for the good stuff.
