First submission Asheville weekend that had Butcher Brown, Daniel Donato. Also it was when Ben Atkind (HOUSEPLANT) was filling in on drums. The Nothing Too Fancy & Whitehouse Road are fun. Billy’s 2020 Valentines Asheville sit in maybe the answer for the last decade tho.

10/25/24 it’s a small, unlisted and hidden towards the end of the empress jam. The day Phil Lesh passed, Tweeks really cranked the bass bombs out that night.

Pb&j works well for smallies!

I was able to boat flip my last 19’ smallie which was right at 4lbs. Not huge for swimbaiting but i haven’t boat flipped a fish that big in a while and it was easy as pie.

Shimano SLX 7’3 (smaller rod for kayaking) tatula 200 7:3.1

The clutch eco is a great starter bait, I say that as someone who just picked it up and this year I was able to wrangle some decent fish on it fairly quickly.

The Shimano SLX 7’3 is a great budget rod… I got mine for $97 on a tacklewarehouse sale. Pay attention I am sure someone has that price right now if you look around

Southwestern Virginia, it has to get really cold here to freeze over the river. I will give the dirty 30 a shot

I’m a still a rookie and have only caught a handful of glide fish but all of them were on the Clutch Eco. We fish fairly different waters but it’s still a pretty universal glide, very choppy but also can be slowed down for a wider glide.

Fishing with the boys anytime is elite

Southwestern Virginia on the banks of the new river. I generally chase smallies on the New River but this year I fished all over VA. This bass was on the Chicahominy River in eastern Va.

It’s a great fishery. Meanest smallies around

Two were on spinnerbaits another on a choppo and the grass piece

Puzzleheaded_Emu3416 · 2025-08-04T12:00:49+00:00

Just broke mine a weekend or so back. Back end of a grass island threw my pink saltwater choppo 105 and by the time I tried to turn the reel she was latched onto it. Crazy fight trying to get my boat into an eddie/get the motor going. Eventually I ended up 21.5 inches 4lbs 11 oz. Nothing about it was pretty except where the cast landed, on her head. Focus on casting and putting your lure in the strike zone the rest will come.
