In. Merry Christmas to you and your family

I have never even heard of this and hiked through a couple of those states this year. Hope the first frost kills all of the buggers and everyone can breathe a little easier. Permethrin is a clothes treatment - you spray it directly on to your pants and shirts, let them dry - that kills ticks and other bugs on contact. It is sold in Walmart and most sporting good stores. Look in or near the hiking stuff. It is sold in yellow bottles (usually plastic). Follow the instructions for application. It last 6 weeks or X amount of washes. If you’re willing to commit to one or two “fishing” outfits, you can send them off to professional companies. When applied professionally, I think it lasts 6 months or maybe longer. Also, you can buy 100% DEET spray. Just be careful with getting it on anything that isn’t your skin or clothes. It will ‘melt’ plastic. Tackle boxes, phone cases, watches, and I’m sure baits aren’t safe from the power of DEET. I know it sounds crazy to hear that then spray it in yourself, but it works. I don’t use it all the time, but when you NEED something - DEET is where it is at.

Tracking number says it was delivered this past Monday. Sorry for the delay on an update. Hopefully Nolan Aker will post some fish pics with it soon!

Bait is in the mail!

I managed to get my schedule straight and got to fish the baby wake yesterday for 5 hours. Fished a lake that is usually pretty stingy but was lucky enough to stick two spotted bass. The first was a little over 3 lbs. The second was smaller but I hooked it after purposely casting over a lay down. Had some fun moments but got the fish and bait in the boat. Not sure if these are the first SC fish on the bait, but here ya go.

I am trying to clear my schedule to fish the bait on Thursday. I have to get some stuff done for work, but hopefully I can get the boat in the water and fish the wake for 4-5 hours. I’m going to do my best to catch a fish, but at least she will see water. Then I can send it off to the next person.

I have the wake in my possession. I’m gonna try my best to stick a fish on it in the next week. I currently have some sort of stomach virus/common cold, so hopefully that goes away and I can fish it.

I caught a 7lber in Texas - weighed it and took pics with the swimbait... but totally forgot about the code. Don’t really think it would make it anyway. Last good fish for the next 6 months, cause no fishing for me.

I heard on live on Saturday it was a rat that was no longer made. At least that’s what Zaldain told a couple of the guys reporting

Not swimbait related, but if you have never been there and are running a boat, please do a little research on how to run the lake. Stay in the boat lanes! Best of luck. If they are in the grass and water is warming up, I wouldn’t hesitate to throw a soft bait like a scottsboro tackle company swimbait - tick it through the top of the grass and hold on

Scottsboro Tackle Company swimbaits - throw them on a beast hook. Super weedless, great action, and a lot of awesome colors I have caught a ton of fish on the seven inch
