Will be at KY Lake by the time you get this, for a Strike King media deal — hoping not to be knocked out by an Asian carp, maybe do some squatchin’ with Hack. Second BB this week will be Friday…maybe Saturday. Peace bass-heads!

Bass-heads fishing a dock in South Dakota shot at!?
|
|
[big eyes emoji] This is no joke — according to the article:
> “Bass like to hang out around boat docks, and my partner and I had been fishing by this guy’s dock,” Rubendall said in a phone interview with the American News last week. “All the sudden, he came out on his deck and was cussing and swearing and screaming for us to get off his dock. We told him, ‘We’re just fishing, just settle down.'”
> Rubendall said the bullet hit about 10 feet behind his boat in the lake. He said he and Heidinger called 911 after the shot was fired.
Article says the guy allegedly had a rifle. SO glad our bassin’ bros are okay. Dang that’s scary.
Can’t even find a meme to go with it…too serious….

Dude’s named Oliver Ngy, had never fished the lake before — check it:
> …a tournament spokesperson wrote, “He’s an amateur angler that fished Lake of the Ozarks for the first time, and got lucky throwing a 10-inch swimbait and caught the big one.”

Here ’tis, all 6.82 hungry lbs of it:
Passed 2 polygraphs…and won it by 0.01-oz.
Who gives away $100K for a one-lake big bass bash???

Tip of the Day
J-Wheels: Don’t forget the flats.
Full Jacob Wheeler tip at bassanglermag.com:
> “Everybody talks about the shad going to the backs of the creeks, but I think that is one of the biggest misconceptions. It is true on a lot of lakes, but I think that only focusing on creeks makes people overlook the main-lake flats.”
> …covers water quickly looking for active fish in…main-lake flats, flat points on the main lake and mouths or backs of creeks.
> “I’m just constantly moving with my boat in 4-8′ of water, casting shallower. You’re fishing a lot of dead water with this technique, but once you find ’em, you’re going to be catching a lot of fish.
> “This is the time of year when the fish will school up on a lot of places — in ditches, on little flats in 2-4′ of water and if your lake has grass, realistically that is where it is really going to go down. If your lake doesn’t have grass, it will be all about the ditches, especially the shallow ditches with stumps.
> “I’m looking for anything that will allow the fish to get around some sort of cover on top of the flat to ambush the shad and things like stumps give the bass the best chance at more bang for their buck, when trying to eat shad. This probably the biggest pattern that I really like to run.”
> For early fall, Wheeler likes to tie on a Rapala #8 Skitter Walk. “It is a smaller walking bait and it’s all about match the hatch.”
