Crappy at Watery or c straper onWatery. So I am trying to get

(02:14):
some intel to make my trip alittle less stressful. And it does seem
to me that now the water isstarting to clear up a little bit.
Water is starting to clear up alittle bit at San te and at Watery
the water level is starting to godown. So I'm gonna be making my
way in one of those directions inthe coming weeks very soon. Let's Fish

(02:39):

(03:00):
air for thirty nine weeks. Andit's always an honor every year that I
get reinvited or re signed to comeback on and host The Caroliners Report.
And this year I'm gonna be hostingthree to four episodes of the show myself.
And it's a blast. It's agreat show, fun, good times.

(03:21):
Yep, don's laughing at my chair. That's a throne. You're not
eligible for that. You'll have togo sit in one of the others.
I gave it up this morning.Hey, you like my listen, Don,
you got to understand something. Everychair, every piece of furniture in
here was found on the side ofthe road or at the dump. I'm
down. I'm one hundred percent downwith it. Jeddah, Did you know

(03:44):
that that I have? I furnishedthat you did? I furnished the studio
via the dump or the side ofthe road. And this is the God's
honest truth. And I'm telling doesanybody have any complaints about their chairs?
No? That is So Don issitting and this one let me tell you
real quick. So Don is sittingin a seven hundred dollars peer one imports

(04:10):
recliner. Yeah, exactly. Lookit's got some scratch, like a little
bit of scratch on the top,but he's like, great chair. He's
over here. Yeah. Yeah.Don is a gamer. He loves playing
games. And Don's thinking about that. But uh, these two chairs that
that Tony and I are in,a friend of mine was giving away on

(04:30):
the side of the road their formeroffice chairs. And as you can tell,
the arms are good, worn out, but everything else is fine.
I like that. They got himbroke in just right now. Why did
you pick on my cream chair,because if he gets in that one,
he won't be able to get backout. I understand. And that that
thing lays you back. Man,I'll be fell asleep. I saw that
thing, and you know the badthing is. So anybody that lives in

(04:54):
Merles and let you know about thegreen shed. The green shed is at
the Georgetown County Wesley Road Recycling Center, the swampshop. Yep. So my
kids, well in particular Russ lovesthe green shed. And it always seems
that we may take ten things thereto get out the house and clear out

(05:15):
of the house, and we leavewith eleven. That's how it goes,
all right. So daddy has gottenjust as bad as Rush. Rush.
Now I have all the chairs inhere. That throne over there is the
only one that we paid for.That chair, giant cheer dude. That
chair was bought for a dance routinethat Kinsley is going to be doing next

(05:36):
year. I mean, this ishow those dance moms are already preparing.
Unfortunately, the chair is a littletoo big, but it it. We've
got this other plan with it.We want to cover it, recover it
in bright pink, and and andand we're gonna rent it for birthday party.

(05:57):
Crust purple velvet. Oh that mightbe good too, crust purple.
Yes, so we're gonna rent itfor birthday parties. Apparently it's a big
thing if you google right now,if you google a throne for a birthday
and look it up, it's unbelievable. People pay one hundred and forty dollars
and up for a chair like thatfor a birthday to borrow it. I
mean to use it, but thatchair is big enough for you and Tony

(06:19):
both cons so yeah, we canpost it. It is. It is
quite humorous that I need to puta picture on our Facebook page on this.
But with the bow Jangles biscuits withthe bow Jangles right now? Yeah?

Awesome for you coming in as aguest. You get to go pick
through and grab something off the thethe wall over here. Yeah, you

me clarify this. Yeah, soyou got to put stipulation right now,

(07:00):
so you get a choice up inthe hats, the shirts, and then
the tackle. You don't get tochoose any the pelican boxes. Do y'all
think I have a problem? Now? These are all empty, Tony,
those are all empty. That orangeone I gave you I don't want it
back. Oh that's right, youdid get me that one. I got
those out of my trailer because theysat in my trailer. I had two
or three of them with nothing inthem for like two years. I drug

(07:23):
them around. Wait a minute,did you give me the big one because
I got another orange one, bigorange one? Yeah, that's it.
Then yep, yep, no,I tried. Well, you can have
that one off you like it obviously, but yes, we got one.
Two. Those are full of equipmentone, two, three, four,
five, five pelican boxes over here? None over there? This is Oh,

If he sat there for that truckrace, man, that was that was
a good one to watch. Hewas excited. He said he loved that
truck race. He he texted uslast night that was on fire last night.
He got to see a good one. If he watched the Duels,

I missed him. They call themsomething else. No, they're they're

(08:31):
the Duels at dayton And then CaptainJason and Captain Chris are chilaxing in mcclellanville.
And if you can't chillax in mcclellanville, you you just can't relax.
And they are down there. They'regood. They're taking the boat to Seaweed
this week. Uh. Today,they're gonna go down to Charleston and they're

(08:54):
gonna visit our other co host,uh Tommy Buchanan, who is down working
with dn R at Seaweed, andif you've never been to Seaweed, it
is incredible. I suggest that everybodyhas to at least should go down and
enjoy it at least one time.I don't know that it is an annual
thing for some of us, butit is a great time. Incredible artwork,

(09:18):
you know, it's just true,the epitome of the outdoors. Everything
and anything that you can imagine anyoutdoors, They've got it down there,
and most of it that I can'teven afford. But beautiful artwork. My
good buddy Chad Weatherford Weatherford Knives isdown there. Most of it goes on
attle not Brittle Bank Park. Isthat that? Yeah, Brittle Bank Park

(09:41):
or Cheap or whatever the name ofthe park is down on the waterfront.
Down there is beautiful. They havesome of the best dock diving you can
imagine for dogs, the dog dockdiving. But it's an incredible festival down
there. And then Captain Matt overat Walkamall Outfitters, the river Rat has
really for tours. So he's leavingshoving off at ten. So he offered

(10:03):
to come over from eight to nine, and I said, no, man,
there's no reason to drive over Ithink that we can do it.
And then of course Tony texted andsaid Don the man was free this morning,
so we figured we'd have Don over. Don's been to sand Tea two
of the last three weekends. Yeah, four weekends, three weekends, and
got to he's got to witness whateverybody is calling toilet water. I don't

(10:28):
want to. I'll leave the otherpart out. It's chocolate milk. About
the color this table, and it'sdarker than that, man, I mean
it's pure, pure chocolate milk.Well, let's talk about I want to
know why, and of course youknow here we are, we're the Southern
English radio show. We're here onthe grass Train. And why we don't
want to talk about sand Tea.Well, a lot of people go fishing
at sand Tea from here. Butwhy has it been so long? I

(10:50):
mean we've not had a lot ofrain. The water's off from somewhere.
Let me tell you you, withouta spot locker an anchor, you're not
holding a position anywhere in that lowerlake. Don't even try to go to
the canal that first weekend that Iwas down the canal. Yeah, you
said you couldn't get in there.No, man, that was brutal.
Yeah, he flipped almost You've gotmy anchor caught and it almost yanked me

(11:11):
over. The current was pulling sostrong it almost flipped my yack over.
Now, some may call you acheater because you do have a motor on
your pontoon, but I call yousmart. Well a lot of it there
are. There's not I call yousmart. Out of all the clubs I
belonged to, pretty much all ofthem now across the boards are good with
motors except for one group. Yep, they don't want motors. But you

(11:33):
can have your pedal drive that willoutrun my motor. But I'm cheating because
I have a motor. I havean unfair advantage because, just like we
were talking in our club this week, just because I have a motor,
there is no advantage. Just becauseyou may have a forward facing sonar on
your kayak, you don't have anadvantage. I watched two guys with livescope
in a kayak last week. Didn'tcatch fish. Not any one saw fish.

(11:56):
We're mad as they could be allday that they saw them. Couldn't
get a fish to bite. It'sjust the way it is. There's just
sitting here talking about there's no advantagein it. People making it and money
getting them there. But you've gotto have the ability to use the equipment.
Yep, that you are time onthe water unless you have to be

(12:20):
able to catch fish. Time onthe water, it backs down, now
what And It's been twenty years sinceI've been on Santee, so I don't
have the time on the water andI expected the results that I've got.
Now this For this next tournament,I'm going to pre fish two different days
down there where we're having our nextday that and see if I can't get
a little better game play together.My big thing now March first and second,

(12:41):
I'm on Murray KBFS in town fortheir first big one of the year
at Murray. I'm going to godo both days. Quick question. When
y'all do those tournaments like on abig lake lake Bury trailer or you have
to leave from the same launch.No, you can launch at any point
around that lake you want to.Can you leave from a private home It
has to be a dock accessible toeverybody else in the turn. Okay,

(13:03):
all right, I didn't know,because I mean, you've got to be
up there anyway. Find you ahouse is near where's a pish are rent?
I thought that last year when Iwent up and rented one close that
had a dock, And nope,you have to launch from an access point
that everybody else in the tournament canhave access to launch there. Now.
Is that not the tournament where youflipped over? Yeah, that's the tournament
where I had my mystery leak lastyear and didn't know that I had a

(13:24):
leak. Yeah, and didn't havethe bills pump in my jack at that
point, and yeah, filled withwater and I got real lucky, real
real lucky that I made it withinfifteen foot of the bank before I went
UPSI down. Well, you know, and people don't understand. If you've
ever bass fish in a boat,you know how hard it is. And
I'll just say, I mean thenumber one I will say. And Tony

(13:48):
has drilled us into my head earlyon. If you can learn to cast,
you can figure out to catch andfish. But when you take yourself
and you basically put yourself not sittingin a chair, because you're not it's
not like you're sitting on the deckof the boat. You're sitting in a
kayak at water level. Yeah,you're not elevated, no no water,

(14:11):
so there's no flipping. I mean, you're if you're in a kayak sitting,
you're not flipping. You gotta standto do you're flipping and do your
finesse cast. And they're stand upkayaks for that reason. Myself, with
my knees, as much as Iwant to stand, ain't happening. That's
why I bought the brand that Ibought, because my seat goes from deck
level up. That's right. Yourlifts fifteen inches. Yep, it helps.
And let me tell you, it'sit's a whole different world from fishing

(14:33):
in a boat or fishing in abank. And you can cast your bay
cast or wherever you want to orever you want too, and it's butter
when you're sitting twelve inches off thewater, it's you have to relearn everything.
Especially most of us don't wear PFDwhen we fish these tournaments. It
has to be on, has tobe zipped or you're dqued along. Somebody
catches you, they pick a pictureof you. You're dqued. Yeah,

(14:54):
learning to cast sitting at water levelwith a PFD on, that's a whole
channel in itself. I say,all you got to do that, go
outside, get your favorite bass fishingrod and go sit your butt on the
ground on and around and cast.Put your feet straight out in front of
you and sit on the ground andsee how accurate you can be at a

(15:16):
thirty yard cast. Yep. Andthe other that your feelings hurt. The
other thing to get you is you'rein a kayaks so you're thinking, Hey,
I can sneak up to the bankand you can. Most of us
forget. Hey, there's limbs overheadand you and here's the first lure in
the tree. Yep, yep.English don't know nothing about lures in the
trees. What are you talking about? I think at one point, at

(15:37):
one point I had decorated everywhere fromBucksport to Walkawatchee. Now, I will
say last week I had some greatinformation from the man sitting to my right
here, mister Tony. Yeah,you were in a good spot. I
was in a killer spot and hewas when I got to talk to him.
When I come home dumbfounded, thatlittle clear pond that he'd put me
in the back of should have beenX number of feet deep, and I'm

(15:58):
telling you it was eight and it'sis deep at best. But it was
absolutely crystal clear water. It wasalmost sixty degree water where the rest of
the lake was fifty two and fiftythree. You jumped up and I could
see the fish. I just couldn'tget nothing to strike. I caught it.
I I my biggest bashant, sayingTea, I caught back there in

(16:18):
that lake. Yeah, And it'sfunny. When I cruised back into that
pond, he said he couldn't hardlyget between the dock. No, they're
the same. It was so lowwhere the dock and you have to go
by that little brown dog. HadI had just enough for my chayak to
slip through. If I would havehad to step out, I couldn't have
fished it because that you can't dragyour chayactors, so you have to float.
So regular boats aren't going to getback there. In no way a

(16:40):
boat can get in and out ofthere. Wow, yep, we're talking
about a very popular little backwater pondellike it's a secret. No it's not.
And that what was funny. Thehouse that I stayed in many times
when I fished down there all thetime. It was back on this little
pond, and I find remembered whereI was and told them the man was

(17:02):
coming up. I was like,does such and such have something to do
with it? Yeah? And Iwas like, I thought this was the
house I stayed in for years,and he had his boat and he couldn't
go nowhere. He was stuck there, he couldn't get out. So I
wasn't thought the water level was high. So apparently right now they're pulling a
lot of water for electricity twenty ninethousand per second. Well, I'm coming
through the gates into san Tea rightnow. Sanity's at twelve nine, which

(17:27):
is wood at Jamestown. I mean, so are they pulling at Cooper River
too? I don't think they maybe releasing a little bit down Cooper River,
but as much as they pushing downsan Tea right now, I doubt
they're flowing Cooper River. Well,I saw where Tommy Scarborough went and scouted

(17:48):
it out Chad this week with DrRosenberg, No not Dr Rosenberg who went
with him anyway, went down andscouted. I saw they had one picture
of the same fish twice. Icould tell it was one holding it in
one with it sitting in the flooridaboat. So they're not there yet.
We talked about that. That's atrip. Another trip that's easy to make
from here when the shed get thickand tail race and it airhead either one,

(18:15):
but more so tail race. Ienjoy a tail race the best.
It is a great trip that's worthit. It is to go down there.
And if you want to see abunch of grown men having fun catching
bait fish and fighting pelicans and fightingpelicans all I'm telling you, you better
get ready because you will have apelican sitting in the boat with you.
So when I pulled out Sunday,I don't know if you saw the picture,

(18:37):
there had to be a group oftwo hundred to three hundred white pelicans
sitting right there. They didn't moveall day. I mean, it's the
biggest group of pelicans I've seen sinceHurricane Hugo. It blew my mind.
I actually had So this is atthe lake. Yeah, I had to
stop and take a picture because Ihave not seen that many pelicans together in
one spot. Well, that letsyou know that the gizzer chad are starting

(19:00):
to do this thing plentiful and that'sbecause that's what they're feeding on up here
in them lakes. So let's let'smove let's move back to the greenstrand real
quick. Let's talk about something beforewe go to break. First Break Sunday.
So yesterday I stopped by the radiostation and got to see Jimmy and
Adam. They were just doing alittle promo for the Collar cook Off tomorrow

(19:22):
Tomorrow Uncle Tito's and a great timetwenty eight or twenty nine different teams cooking
and awesome and a loves cooking forTito and Bubba Up. Yeah, I
told you. I texted him yesterday. I said, it's rigged Jimmy.
Jimmy is now in charge of it. The former director and founder of the

(19:44):
Collar Green cook Off stepped down acouple of years ago, and so Jimmy
and Stony Canner are running it.They do a great job and they seem
to be ready to go. Adamwill be MC tomorrow out there. But
it is a great time, andTony we were talking about it. I
would think Bubba Luh would have anadvantage, But Tony and I saw what
can happen at a at the BoldPeanut World Championship. Lord, what people

(20:11):
can do to a bold peanut,what people could do to a collar is
crazy, and so I never thoughtI'd see the day that bold peanuts had
more vegetables in it than peanuts.But but I seen what looked like oh
man, we saw one pot.Yeah. Yeah, we got cheated.

(20:32):
By the way. We got cheated. They didn't tell us so well,
no, no, no, waita minute, hang on. We misread
the rule. We misready rules,and they didn't feel obligated to tell us
we could cook our peanut nuts.Well, there was two different things that
call but no, no, no, no no, there was two things
that cost us. First was thatyep, and the second was we were

(20:55):
cooking together like we it was itwas so other thing was radio show peanuts
like we had. But we didtwo different style regular salted and then my
craziness and then whatever it was putin here. So we were without a
doubt, and even everybody there saidthat we were the busiest. We had
more people lined up for our peanuts. We were cooked like I never had

(21:18):
to like cook off. I meanwe were. We went back for two
bushels, did we had to?We had cooked off two bushels. We
went back and got a bushel ofpeace and started cooking them again again.
And y'all didn't win with four bushes. Here's what happens not that. See
a lot of people that showed upthey had already pre cooked their peanuts.

(21:38):
Well, it takes three hours tocook yeah, yeah, peanuts. And
so when we run out, everybody'swanting to want to want to want to
want them. Well, when werun out, we got to cook more.
We had to cook more three hours. We got three hours of people
going, where's your damn peanuts werewaiting. We're cooking again, you know,

(22:00):
better for this year. So whatended up costing us truly was the
fact that they came by our tableand put two buckets on it. Yep.
They put one on Tony's side andone. I mean we were literally
serving off one table. We didn'trealize it. So they had two buckets.
So people were putting their boats inthe buckets, so they were separating

(22:22):
it. Yep. So instead,like what we should have done when they
came to take them is put ona buckgether. It took one butt all
together, hit it and there onebucket on the table. Well, we
had lots and lots and lots ofboats, but they were split up.
They were split between two two ofus, so everybody else had one bucket,

(22:42):
no matter how many different flavors theywas serving or making. Yep,
So we have to stack them onin one butt. So we are reserved.
We have a spot for the forthe Championship. It's coming back this
year twenty twenty four. Our goodfriends at SBB are are hosting it once
again, and we are reserved fora spot. So just letting you know.

(23:04):
I already talked the couch and we'rereserved. So we're gonna, We're
gonna, We're coming back and we'regonna play. We're gonna play this thing
back the right way. That's right. We're coming back, and I gotta
promise you we will have pre cookedpeanuts. Well, I'll have four bushels
cooked at the house. Yeah,the front porch Club will be open for
two days and it will be nonstop. We will have peanuts in a

(23:25):
cooler somewhere sitting and we if wegot a cheat, we got to cheat,
but we coming to we got know. I'm not we're coming for redemption.
I'm not sure I'm coming back towin it the way it should be
won. I'm gonna make sure thatI know all the rules on whether you
can pre cook prior to the event. Yep, kain't because we was under
to understanding you had to cook themon site. Well, we got a

(23:49):
big difference between cooking them and warmingthem up. Yeah, but we got
a new toy too. We gotthat new cooker. Yep, that'll help.
And now I'll tell you there wastwo people that were pressure cooking them.
They had big press cookers and theywere able to cook them quick.
We didn't. We didn't have that. Yeah, you can bust them out
our hour and a half with apressure cooker. Yeah. Yeah. So
but anyway, hey, it's timeto don't forget Sunday tomorrow call of Green

(24:11):
cook off. But we are goingto take them early early. It's going
to be crowded, very crowded.Yeah, we that was discussed yesterday.

posts about it, and I haveno clue about it. So we're going
to get together. But I cantell you if Burt does it, it's
going to be first class and therewill be enough beer at this one.

(26:48):
He has called enough heck about thatgolf tournament. But anyway, we are
back at speaking of golf tournaments.This Thursday, A True Blue is the
Tea's for Keys golf tournament for ourgood friends at Habitat for Humanities at Georgetown,
and I am going to be there. Now, this is gonna be
interesting. I'm gonna record an hourof the show for Saturday on Thursday.

(27:15):
And I've got Bob Segante, thehead pro director of golf at Caledonia,
and True Blue is a great friendof mine, a abbot, outdoorsman,
huge fisherman, and he is excitedto sit in with me and to do
it at Cali. If anybody atTrue Blue over the top of number eighteen
tea balks at True Blue is justgoing to be awesome. I mean eighteen

(27:38):
green on that back deck. Sowe're gonna do an hour of the show
for next Saturday with the incredible groupof people out there. But the Habitat
for Humanity does a lot of greatthings, and we're also excited about June
first, the Habitat for Humanities inshort lamb down in Georgetown exactly you better
be fishing it. We're gonna havea great time that. We got plenty

(28:00):
of time to promote it. Butwe've got a lot of other things to
promote. Fish and wise and grandstrands, saltwater anglers, let's don't forget them.
April twenty fifth, six. Youknow, for some reason, it
just seems like February, March,and April are all something on that twenty
third, twenty fourth, and it'stwenty fifth and I'm not gonna I'm gonna

(28:21):
make it right today. It isApril twenty seventh, and the Captain's meeting
is the twenty sixth at the BeaverBar. So we got that coming up
and a bunch of other stuff.But looking forward to golf next week with
my family. I've got the GloverTribe are coming out. Not retirement,
because what we kind of did semiretire after we won the Dead Dog Charity

(28:45):
Golf tournament. Huh hibernation, Yeah, we went, we hibernated. That's
hiatus, Yeah, hiatus. Soyeah, and we're gonna have rush for
uss for a caddy because Georgetown Countyis out for the entire week this week.
Of course, President's Day's so bythe way. If you didn't get
to the bank yesterday, you're screweduntil Tuesday. President's Dave Monday, and

(29:06):
Ory County is out Monday and Tuesday. Georgetown County because of our new schedule,
we have the entinal week. AllI'm gonna have some grand babies at
the house. I guess daddy daycareand you'll have grand babies. Yep,
exactly, it'll be. And I'vegot some great plans. I'll be honest
with you. I think Russell andIsland might slide down to visit Christy at
Hidden Marina this week and do someGeorgetown fishing and maybe go try to find

(29:33):
a striper, you know, atleast if me and Ruscoe and it's just
the two of us, I don'tfeel any pressure that if I don't catch
one, who we wasted time.But we might head down there and have
a boy's day or two. Andby the way, it'll be open if
you guys will have room if y'allwant to come down there and and join
us. There's plenty room on thattwenty five footer by the way, and
the stripers are there right now.They should be. This is that time

(29:56):
of the year. Me and Andrewcalled them last week. I got a
crazy week. This week, I'mtrying to shove six days worth of work
and for so I can go prefishing. So you can go pre fishing.
Yeah, well, you know,listen, Tony and I listen.
You know, we we have toyedwith the thought yesterday, I'll be honest

(30:17):
with you. Listen. I hosta podcast, I host to podcasts.
I love hosting a podcast. Ialso found out yesterday that I really love
listening to podcasts. And yesterday,on my Trilogy Outdoors magazine delivery day,
I suckered Tony into going with mefor cost of buying him lunch, and

(30:44):
we got to listening to a podcast. Yeah, I didn't tell him how
long it was and worehand. Welistened to this podcast from the moment we
left pretty much or about maybe twentyminutes into the We have how Meta State
Armory. We were there, andthen we started listening and we did not
quit listening to it until thirty minutesafter I got home, and after dropping

(31:10):
Tony off at home and let metell y'all where we went. We went
to North Carolina, We went toLoris, We went to Colmway, Hell,
I think we would listen to itwhile we were eating lunch of Jamestown
if we'd had it in there.But listen, we've talked about it in
the past. JT. Tompkins,honestly, just I mean, he is

(31:30):
one of the best pass fishermen outthere, and he has an incredible opportunity.
But pass fishing is changing, changing, changing, and every second of
the day. And it is justfrom the podcast that we listened to yesterday
and the one we started listening tothis morning. I'm just telling you this

(31:53):
that the money in bass fishing isnot there. It's not all based on
your ability as fishermen. No,sir, thank you. I've said it
is. This is where we're goingwith this. You got to have a
social game, thank you. That'sit. You got to have a huge
social game, yes, sir,to get the sponsors, to get everything

(32:14):
straight. He that that young mancan catch fish anywhere in this country on
any day. Everybody that has watchedhim for five minutes understands this. But
now it's time to get the otherthree aspects of the deal together. You
were with us in Conway, weren'tyou, Yes, I was when he
came out there. Listen, Ifinally. I mean, so he's amazing.

(32:35):
So I started going through that,y'all, remember how I mean,
we were all intrigued and just look, you weren't there. You didn't make
it. Yeah, I didn't makeit. That day we were talking with
we started talking with him. Ifilmed an hour and seven minutes of it
until the camera died. But wegot some great video content. And this
is again something that potential sponsors needto know about JT that they'll never get

(33:01):
to see. They'll never get tohear by him sitting on the battle of
the boat catching fish. But Iam going to go through this video,
edit out some snippets, and I'mgonna send it to him because he needs
to get it on his on hissocial media. He does. He reminds
me a lot of you, Tony, And he does his due diligence on
research on his baits, on hisrods, on his lune, on how

(33:22):
all of it will jive together inthe water and the feel of that.
That's the difference between being good andgreat. No, that's the difference from
being a kid who it was drilledin his head by either his dad or
you or whoever, to learn thewater and get seat time on the water.
Learn what you're using, and don'tworry about the electronics and all the

(33:43):
gizmos that they just sucker you inwith. You don't you don't need them.
It's nice to have them. Youhave them now, to have them.
Like last weekend, I watched twoguys with lives copes fish all day
and like I said, they werejust mad. They were mad at the
end of the day because they sawfish all day and could not get They
could see their bait in front ofthe fish, couldn't get a straight I

(34:04):
got video off. I videoed myscreen this week, Tony, even tell
you right now you did. Ivideoed my screen. I recorded my my
garment. I heard of all yourblack drums written there. I recorded my
garment and it was grotesque. Andif you want to talk about it,
no, I mean when you Iwent eighteen miles I was eighteen miles away

(34:27):
roughly, and when I pulled up, I started off on the edge of
the ship. I mean, youlisten to people, if you have never
seen what lifscape looks like, itis be lievable. But I started off
on the edge of the ship whereI like to catch I know that on
the edge of the wreck is normallywhere I catch jeep said, for a
lot of various reasons. But onceI watched this video, I know why

(34:50):
I catch them there. That's wherethey hang out. They swim around the
edge of the wreck. The blacksea bass are on top. You see
the little pesky little ants on,piss ants on, and then the black
drum. We're all swimming around thebottom. Well on Friday last week when
I took cheap hield, we caughtthose black drum. We caught some sheep's
head. I caught two sheep's headin three and a half hours the other

(35:14):
day out there, and they wereboth nice ones. Caught one little one,
and the black bass were just onit every time you dropped it down
there. And I moved and movedand moved and moved. But the video
I put up, you can seethat shrimp boat and I panned, and
you could see in the video thatyou can tell that I'm panning the transducer
and the ship starts. It's threedimensional like it's insane. It's video game

(35:37):
fishing. It's video game fish,the coolest things in a sliced bread.
But there again, I caught twofish. I get that. You know,
I could come sit here. I'mon the radio. I can say,
oh I caught twenty five and blahblah blah. Now you listen to
me that you guys ask every weekdo you want to know or not?
Yep. Personally, I don't wantto know that they're down there and I'm

(35:57):
not catching them. My little idybitty garment small screen and it gives me
the depth, the temperature. That'sall I really need. YEP. I
don't rely on it to find fish. I use seat time. I talked
to Marshalls this week. I talkedto Scotty this week. There's another customer
who's actually going to be pitching saltrick Hole, my buddy rick Hole.

(36:17):
His granddaughter's gonna be pitching salt Nice. And he got livescoat mounted on his
qyis. He's super excited and wantsto go with me and see, you
know how I use it and everythingelse. And I'll be honest with you,
Tony will tell you that I reallyhave dumbed it down. I mean,
I don't go crazy. I don'tthink I have to. If you
watch the quality of that video,maybe there's some fine tuning that I could

(36:40):
come up with make some smaller changes, but for the most part, where
it's at is auto game. AndI adjust a depth where I feel better.
And I say that in a senselike sometimes I feel like your picture
is better if you said it liketwenty feet deeper than what you're in that
it gives me a little bit betterpicture of the structure and and everything else.

(37:02):
But it is a game changer.But you got to catch them.
You still got to catch them.They got to buy and you know,
for listen, I stopped by Rocksbaiting tackle. I had the only fiddler
crabs that they were in the inlet, and they were frozen. Unfortunately,

(37:22):
our suppliers down south are not gettingenough fiddler crabs to get here to us.
They're not making it here. They'reall getting bought up before to get
here. Now, we did alot. This is what took up our
first half of our morning yesterday,was we were contemplating how we can go
to Florida and keep fiddler crabs tofill that and closed trailer up with fiddler

(37:45):
crabs and get back here. I'mnot gonna lie. We were. When
you've got baiting tackle shops that arerequesting forty and fifty thousand thousand. Yeah,
it's gonna be hard for the guythe third one down the line and
get any Yeah, the first takethe first hundred thousand. There is none
for anybody else. It's it's verydifficult for the suppliers. Now if you

(38:07):
got a little, now get thatmuch to begin with, but then to
get that much and transport fifty thousandfiddler crabs that's a lot two states away
and try to keep them alive.And then when you you give them to
your dealers, then they run therisk. And this is the problem.

(38:30):
They lose half of them overnight ifthey're not washed and purged, and because
of everything they put off of them, their bodies, they get them.
I got ten thousand filler crabs andyou get back to next morning you have
one thousand, yep, fifteen hundredtwo thousand of them just dead. So

(38:57):
you just lost every bit of yourprofit. Now you're just you're just trying
to make face. You're trying tobreak even and praying to the people that
comes and buys them. I mean, Sheep said. Fishing is the easiest
dumbed down fishing area is that it'sa hook and a split shot. So
it's not like they're gonna come inthe bait shop and spend a lot of

(39:19):
money on tackle. They come toget them. They've got one thing of
mine and they know how to goget them. And most people, now
there's some people who get really intoit in different ways and techniques, but
most people a split shot and ahook yep, that's it. Just so
there's not a big sell of tacklethat goes along with the live fiddler crabs.

(39:44):
It's just one of those baits.It's not like shrimp, where you
know, people's got to have courts, and they got to have weights,
and they got to have hooks andleaders. So well, when you take
the chance buying fifty thousand frigging fiddlercrabs, if you've got the opportunity to

(40:04):
lose half of them, look howmuch money it just cost you to get
them as a bait tackle on allright, So I want to be honest
about something too, because I didtry something. I tried. So what
do we catch? Sheep said onin October and November shrimp? So I
took shrimp, live shrimp. Yep, Okay, took live shrimp. After

(40:30):
about a dozen we were like done. I mean it was just black sea
bass. Black sea I mean literally, like we would watch them any dangerous,
elusive black sea bags. Yeah,they were straight there, so you
know, I mean, listen.Our job is to promote our sponsors,
promote every bait that Ronald has,every bait that Perry's has, every bait
that Paula's All On Outdoors has.But those live shrimp will probably catch those

(40:53):
sheep said, if they could sitthere for a minute, if they could
make it through the onslaught sea bassthat they want, and so you know,
I mean, I was out thesame day that you were out,
and I wanted to be out atten in the morning, didn't get out
until thirty. I had asked atony shot thing, how's that wind treating
you? I had thirty minutes whereit was nice in the creek and then

(41:15):
for me, you know, foryour boat, it wasn't bad. For
me, it was like gail forcewinds. You know, it picked up.
We started blowing. We had attwelve fifteen. I saw it like
I saw the white Caps starting tobust. So we started. We came
back and hit Paul's Reap, whichtypically again is another reef like the North

(41:36):
Inland Reep. Where they do gos fall and I say, there's falling.
I don't know what they're doing,but I would guess that that's what
they're doing. We went there andit was black bass, black bass,
black bass, black bass, andI I should have videoed it on the
screen, but I honestly had gottencold. I got cold, I didn't
have enough clothes on and that windwas getting nasty. But I got on

(41:59):
top of the two ap seas atPoly's Reef, which I knew there was
one. I didn't know there wastwo. They're side by side and you
could literally see that it is atroop carrier. You can see boat of
them. You can see that theywere armored personnel carriers. Nice and you
could and you could see the hornet'snest of black sea bass that was hanging

(42:20):
out on it, and there weresome bigger fish down there. But again,
getting to them is the thing ifyou go right now. As many
English is doing a guide years andyears ago, he had to take somebody
out and they want to go bottomfishing this time of a year and he
was like, I am so overunhooking black sea bass. I'm like,
you just do it. Gets yousome of them yellow rubber gloves that come

(42:40):
up with your elbows that you washdishes with and get you a set of
gruntings and put them on because you'regonna get nasty, slimy y. They
never just get it in the cornerof the mouth. No, it is
down in the gut. I alwayssaid, if I could ever get a
bass to eat a jig, thewait everything, I'd never lose a bass.

(43:04):
If that is the case, mylife would be good. Well,
we need to go back to wherewe started on this, and that is
those podcasts, and I want totalk about it. The name of the
podcast is Tony, Come on You, Low Budget Live, Low Budget Live.
And Duncan. Yeah, with LukeDuncan. But also we were watching
the first one that the real interestingis Redneck Rednick Famous with Todd Castle dying,

(43:29):
Redneck Famous with Todd Castle dying andwith Slick Johnson. Now, I
think everybody that watches it, whetheryou're a fisherman or not, we're all
going to associate with Slick Johnson.He just seems like a lovable dude,
stand up guy who's who is aphenomenal one of the best fishermen on the

(43:52):
planet and has been for many,many years. But he is a better
social media player than he is afisherman now, I'll say, I mean,
there's no doubt about it. Theguy is one of the best at
social media playing the game. Andit's funny because he even said it.
He said, if I had halfthe money that I've gotten other anglers in

(44:15):
sponsorships, and that's where this wasall going. But he said, if
I had half the money that I'vegotten other anglers from companies for sponsorships,
he said, I'd be rich.And what we're referring to is, you
know, fishing chaos. John KellyGass has been very active with JT.

(44:35):
Tompkins. He has through different loganparks getting them connected and Slick and JT.
Slick knows, I mean, anybodyin bass Vision knows who JT is.
And Slick and JT have been havebeen conversating for over the year.
I mean, as we just foundout, they were together at eyecasts year

(45:00):
and you know, he kept tellingthem, JT, listen, man,
just keep doing what you're doing andbuild relationships right now and stuff. And
first and foremost, I'm gonna tellyou that the one thing I learned and
trust me that boat right there,that truck right there there only because of
a relationship. They're not for anythingelse. Trust me, I have no
Slick Johnson, not even close.But it is building relationships first and then

(45:25):
ask them what you can do forthem. This is the one thing that
they kept saying, what could Ido for you? He said, I
love the guy that walks up atI Cast. And you know, I'm
not gonna pick on any of ourbuddies. But they all went to die
Cast the last couple of years,and I think the first thing they went
in their mind was what can Iget? You know, It's like,
what am I going to get?And that was the thing. And now,

(45:46):
mind you, it's the game haschanged. Ten years ago, it
wasn't like that. No. Nowyou've got these kids coming to high school
and that's all they knew. Theywant to become professional fishermen. And they're
walking into marshalls and they're not askingfor a shirt and some stickers. Now

(46:07):
they want an eighty thousand dollars boatexactly. They're walking there expecting to get
one hundred thousand dollars food in theirhand yep with what are you going to
give me? Mentality instead of whatcan I do? What can I do
for you? How can I sellyour product to help your company? Because

(46:28):
at the end of the day,these sponsors, they are a business.
Oh trust me, and they wantto help you. But I'm learning this
through the Kayak Club trying to getsponsoring us to sell their product. And
trust me, you're not going tosell product catching fish. We talked about
it yesterday. We talked about itnow. Tony knows and has been with
me for a long time, andin particular over the last three years with

(46:52):
trilogy coming about and everything else.Tony also understands that there are people that
have wanted to advertise with us thatI have. How would you say it,
like kindly, they didn't fit yourmold? I guess that would be

(47:12):
it. I mean, I guessthat's what you say. But also I
just don't. I mean, Tony, I don't like to promote things that
I don't use exactly. I mean, we we don't. I mean I
don't want to. I don't.I'm not gonna tell you. I'm not
gonna sit there and tell you,and Tony's not either. We're not going
to tell you that we caught afish. We caught fish on this bait

(47:35):
just because some guy's given me twopacks of bait. I'm not going to.
Integrity is the number one thing acrossthe board and everything you do,
and people will see through your integrityand they will put you on a BS
monitors. Yep, once you geton that BS monitor, you ain't coming
off. In today's world, wouldeverything be it on social media and video

(48:00):
and everything that you do in aboat on live? JT can't get on
a boat and go catch fish ona repell of DT ten all day long
and then come back at the scalesand say you a bunch of crap,
says, oh, I caught themCarolina rigging of worm. Everybody in the
world's done seen it. You donegot ten million downloads on Live. Everybody

(48:21):
knows what you so they see throughthe book real fast. And you have
to be on your a game.I mean you really do. And well,
the we was talking about the fishingaspect of party, and we talked
about it yesterday in the truck withJohn and I did some high school seminars

(48:45):
and talks and stuff like that.And I always tell these kids, I
use Kevin Van Dam, who's thebest to ever played a game bar none.
Nobody's even on the same planet ashim. He didn't do it catching
fish. Yes, he catches fish. Yes he's got the trophies and stuff
behind it, but it's because ofhis back in his social media and what

(49:07):
he does for the companies. Lookat his record twenty seven win, twenty
seven wins, ye, twenty sevenwins and three thousand losses. The numbers
don't add up. No, theywasn't paying him to catch a fish.
They never paid him to catch them. You just think about this. How
about Tom Brady If he had twentyseven wins and three thousand losses, would

(49:28):
he be the goat? No?Absolutely, But he'd still be the face
of football, because the NFL madehim the face of football. Right.
You know, Well, you gota good pr game, and you stand
behind products that you believe in andwrap them that way, people get on
board with you. You know.Here's the other thing, Tony and I
have done it, and I've wastedso much video and taken so much video

(49:49):
that now after yesterday and I havehonestly, I mean John John from Fishing
Chaos, and I've had this conversationtwice. Now, We've talked about it
like you're continually making content every timeyou go fishing, You've got content the
problem and this is where, thisis where. And first off, we

(50:10):
are not beating JT up at all. I won't. I mean, I'm
number one fan. I'm we're thenumber one fans. I mean, I
have offered so much and I willdo whatever I can to help that young
man. I don't want money forit. I'm gonna help him. Talking
about this morning, Yeah, pullyback, can't hear you. I don't

(50:30):
want JT. As hard as he'sworked to get where he's at, the
last thing that I want to seehappening to that young man is him not
still be there because of social media. Because he works so hard. Pully

(50:52):
Mike, he does, You're notcoming in there go. He works so
hard at everything he does. Hehas put into time to seek time,
the effort to research. He's doingevery aspect of the thing as much or
more than anybody else out there.I mean, probably more than the next
ten closest to it. I agreewith it. I don't want I don't

(51:14):
want to see him make it towhere he's at and a year from now
him not still have the same passionbecause he's not getting what he rightfully deserves
because of lack of something that he'snot doing. And trust me, I

(51:34):
know JT. And if he knowshe's got to do it, he's going
to do it the best that hecan. It's whatever that is. It's
going to be hard for him tocome out of the fishing world and get
in the social media game world becausehe's doing it because he because from from
when he was five years old eightyears old, he has been tournament fishing

(51:55):
driven yep. And that is hisI mean, that is JT. That
is why he is who he is. Yep. He's got to find a
way to work that other part in. I'm gonna say this, and I
know John's not listening, but thisis going to be out there on our
podcast on Southern English radio show,so it is recorded. So here we

(52:15):
go. Like like Castle Dine said, anything I say on here is always
going to be there. But I'mgonna say the one thing is this John
said yesterday, the worst thing thatcould happen for JT right now is for
him to win. Yep. Idon't get that. Well well when he

(52:36):
said it my mind, that justpuzzled me. Okay, it puzzed,
all right, it puzzled you.But because you haven't been in the game
and you don't understand right now withJT. The way he's fishing, he
is at the top of the game. Tollvi, He's on fire. He
is right now. He is Kevinvan Dam twenty years ago. And let's

(52:57):
clarify this real quick. I don'twant to bust in y'all. Listen.
JT. Tompkins is for Myrtle Beach. And this is for anybody's listening that
we're assuming that you know who JTis. JT. Tompkins, young man,
grew up Myrtle Beach, had anunbelievable I mean, I'm calling it
record breaking the year in the EQBass Masters Open qualifiers this year, won

(53:20):
the qualifier for the year on topof the game, heard of Caesar exactly.
I mean, the points he hadwere unbelievable. And JT is starting
this week on the Elite series hewill be an angler. And what we
are talking about, we are againnot beaten JT up at all. We
are big fans. We are justtalking about how bass fishing, professional bass

(53:45):
fishing has changed, and honestly,like your ability to catch fish that's probably
twenty five percent of where most oftheir income comes from. That other comes
from social media and from the promotionof their spont And Tony, you keep
going and I probably screwed you upwhere you are this world. No,
no, you didn't. And itis puzzling to people why he would say

(54:07):
that. Okay, well, rightnow, the way the game is moving
bass fishing, fishing in general,where it's going. It's changed. It's
not you just go out and catchfish anymore and do good and oh the
money's gonna flow in. You know, those days of fishing are gone.

(54:31):
It's they found out that the wordeverybody uses the brands, brands, the
brands, they have a job,they are business that these are corporate businesses.
Strike King los z Man. Theseare giant corporations and they need to

(54:52):
sell product, period. And Slickwas talking about it. How many you
have? How many millions of peopleyou have of it? And are you
reaching that little tiny bubble? Areyou reaching the million? Ye? Are
are you reaching the people that actuallyspending the money exactly? We need to
go to break guys. Okay,well, well hold it up, hold

(55:14):
that thought, I hold it.I'll hold that thought. Can you hold
it, I'll hold it. I'llhold your hat down for you. And
I don't want y'all to go anywhere, So y'all, y'all stay it right
here there. We come back onthe other side of this break. We
are going to continue to talk abouthow the world of bass fishing is changing
and the world professional fishing is changing, and we got some other stuff to
talk about. We're going to tryand get Captain Raven Posting from salt On

(55:36):
with us, but we're gonna comeback and finish this because we we can't
get off this soap box right now. We need all right, we said,
y'all don't go anywhere. We'll beright back. This is the Southern

Sparks Toyota where the dealers always in, and by Key West Boats of Marrison
Marine of Lake City and Georgetown whereverday's the boat shows every day, and
by the Freedom Boat Club where thevote is waiting, and our good friends

(56:42):
at Monarch Ruben taking care of youand taking care of veterans out there.
And we are back, and weare we are not beating a dead horse.
We are talking a little bit hereabout the way professional bass fishing has
changed, and in particular, howthe social media game has pretty much superseded
the fishing talent of anglers out there. And you know, Tony, you

(57:07):
were, you were on you werestarting on a soapbox there talking about some
some of the ways it's changed,and how uh you know, John Calla
Ghass had made the comment that thatyou know that the worst thing j JT
could do would win because he wouldmiss out on so much financial possibilities because

(57:32):
of the lack of that presence onsocial media. The reason he said that,
and he wasn't be a negative.And he's a fan of JT's too,
so he's a very good friend toJT's. He said, the worst
thing could happen to JT right nowis to go out here on his first
year and win an event. Andit immediately made sense to me, Like

(57:58):
I said, but you you're sitting, They're still your puzzle to me,
I would think you'd want him tobe to put him up on the social
media platform and get it out.Okay, well listen, that's in my
head. Okay, well listen withthat said, and and and I'll explain
this in just a minute. Ifhe wins at this point, yeah,

(58:23):
what does he have to go on? What does he have to build on
the I told you so I canmake it by doing it the way I've
been doing it. That's where hismind goes. What I've been doing worked.
Is it going to continue to work? Is going to be the big
question. And it's not going towork in the years to come in the

(58:45):
industry because the industry way it's changingso him winning would be an awesome thing,
but it would be bad for JT'smentality right now, him working as
hard as he worked the last year, and nobody will never know how hard
this kid worked to accomplish. Dude, you know how many boats fishy opens.

(59:08):
There's two hundred and sixty boats.Yep, them opens with the co
anglers. The weigh ins take fourand five hours. Yeah, we watched
one last night. It is ridiculous. And all right, falls Pauly.

(59:32):
I got a pause for a second. We got a pause. Hang on,
hang on, hang on, Igot something here, hang on,
I got something here, hang on, hang on. That's got me giggling
this morning. Heah, I'll pullit back, all right, all right,
go ahead, do it. Yougotta do it. Donald. I
want to wish mad when Nicole Sergeanta very happy birthday. It home,

(59:53):
laying in the bed listening to theshow this morning. Happy birthday, sweetheart.
I hope you have a great day, happy bed. Hey darling,
I have a birthday shout out too, Okay, go ahead, super Jenna.
I have a birthday shout out forone of my bonus children that I
work with at the restaurant. Hisname is Richie and it is his eighteenth

(01:00:13):
birthday. Half the eighteenth birthday.Everybody, all right, we got those
out the way, Yeah, godbuddy, thank you. And by the
way, just so you know hewas going to do that. So but
that was great that you just gotthat text. Yeah. So we were
saying, was pull that microphone backup. It'll be a great thing for

(01:00:36):
JT to win for his business profile, right and but mentally, and I
you know, I really hate tosay that because I know JT. I
know how hard he works, Iknow the person he is, and he's
just got to shift some of thisfocus to different aspects of what the sport

(01:01:00):
has become and it is. Welistened to Todd Castle Dying yesterday and he
puts it as good as anybody couldput it. When when he started fishing,
he was like me, and Iwould I would put five hundred dollars
up against anybody anytime, anywhere,because all I had to do was beat

(01:01:24):
you with a rod and reel.That's it. It was me against you.
I just had to outfish you withjust a rod and reel. It
ain't that way anymore. Now you'vegot to compete against the boats that can
make it out in six footers toget to where the fish are, You've
got to have the electronics. You'vegot to have those things. So you're

(01:01:46):
not just fishing against another man andhis fishing ability anymore. You're fishing against
all the products that they get behindthem and their ability. That was one
hundred percent the way I grew upfrom nineteen seventy to now, fishing tournaments.
It was just me against you,and I was willing to put money

(01:02:08):
up against anybody and fish against you. And if you beat me, hey,
my hat's off, brother. Youdone good. You just kicked one
of the best butt period. Iain't had that in a long time because
the English to tell you, Iam electronic dumb and I have not kept
up with that side of the industryand it has surpassed me. And went

(01:02:29):
on, Yeah, can I getlucky and go catch a big fish?
Can I catch fish? Oh?Yeah, I can catch fish all the
time yep. But can I catchthe winning fish all the time? No?
No, you got to be lucky, and you've got to be really
good. And I will say thename. I'll give you an example,

(01:02:53):
Brian new young guy. You knowwho that guy is? Carolina who had
been fishing hard, fishing with someof the greatest to play this game,
some the top the top names inhis sport. Right now, he made

(01:03:13):
it to the Elites and he wonhis very first, very first tournament,
very first tournament. He come outand he won the Elites. Yep.
And he was still employed by theState of North Carolina working on the Highway
Department. And his career has notit hasn't went up. It hadn't went
up. It's staying level. Yep. Right now. It's so he can

(01:03:36):
hit his plateau and he can't climbany hire for reason, I'm telling you,
he can fish. He's wanted thebest to swing a stick so he
can go every He's another one thatdon't. He don't spend that time on
the social media one hundred and that'sright now. All this that we're talking
about, all this being said,is just what we're trying to get a

(01:04:00):
Crosses. You better keep up withthe game and the rules. Like we
was talking about me and him withthe bowl peanuts earlier, we didn't.
We didn't have all the rules inplace that we knew we could do,
and it bit us into butt.Yep. We lost because of it,
same thing will happen in fishing rightnow. If you're not on your A

(01:04:20):
game, you're not using every aspectof it to build your brand and all
your sponsor's brand, you're gonna getleft behind and you're gonna be out of
it in two years, and you'regonna look back and you're gonna be very
regretful and hurt mentally and physically becauseof all the time and hard work and

(01:04:41):
passion you put into it, andyou didn't get what you was expecting to
get at the end of the rainbow. So this year, this, this
last I'll said, the last sevenmonths have been humbling for me for that
aspect. Like I read Jet,you're breaking into something new. I'm my
brand, Kayak. I stand behindthat brand one hundred percent over all the

(01:05:02):
other brands out there for a coupleof reasons, and I promote them to
high hills when I reached out tothem, Hey man, I promote your
product to the high hills. Ilove it. I've been in it for
XXX TRU. What do I gottado to be part of team X and
X straight point blank? I needone hundred and thirty eight more people on
my Facebook page since I don't havea Tiktokie or a YouTuber yet. Yep,

(01:05:25):
I gotta have one thousand on Facebookto even qualify for them to pick
me up as a sponsor for nextyear and try twenty five. Not this
year's too far gone. But it'shumbling. I mean, it is absolutely
humbling when you really get into this. Trying to pick up sponsors is a
hard thing, man, hard,It's hard, and look it. You
got to think now. Me andEnglish taught about it this morning, sitting

(01:05:46):
in this truck while he's waiting onyou in the radio show to start.
People look complaining about the sport andright now that the sport's got a black
guye a real big black guy,there's some things going on that is not
cool. It has never been bassfishing and shouldn't be here now, but
it is. I just I'm ahold. I say whatever, keep going,

(01:06:11):
No, I'll hold I'm just gonnaI'll hold that one later, hear
you, I'll hold it. No, that's changed. It's like that one
bigger brand that I was telling youthat I'm going to fish. Their first
tournament of the year, they shrunkdown from nine cities to four because of
the black eye that they gave themselveslast year, and they're trying to recoup
off of it. Hopefully it doesand hopefully they get back to it.
But it's like I put in oneof their I follow him and we chat.

(01:06:34):
For the small guy like me that'sgoing to sleep in his truck at
the ramp, it's more feasible todo four or five cities in the same
part of the US than me towhat I tried to do last year,
putting seventeen thousand miles on my truck, driving all over this country, chasing
the green fish and sleeping at boatramps. That was insane what I did
last year. This year's a littlebit nicer. I put a beating on

(01:06:56):
you too, oh man, puta beating on I didn't have much to
know. It didn't help much toknow that if you won, your check
might not be good. Yeah,you know when I found that out,
I mean that I was that hurts. That hurts bad. Well, I
tell you, I know, we'veuh, I know, we kind of
gotten on a little bit more offthe wall tangent here with this discussion.

(01:07:17):
But I think it's a I mean, I don't care if you're fishermen or
not like you every I think thatmost people have heard a lot about the
change in bass fishing. They've heardwhat life Scope has done to bass fishing,
and they realize it. And withus being on the first week of
JT's professional and he's been a pro, but the first week of his opportunity

(01:07:44):
on the Elite series, I justthought it was something that we need to
discuss and and and bring up.And after watching all the podcasts that we
did yesterday, I felt like itwas something that we could share and and
I wanted to share. But Iknow we need to talk more locally and
and about things going on here,and I do want to talk about the
bass, and let's talk about theriver. You know. I went back

(01:08:05):
again last Saturday after the radio show, went back and took some shiners again,
went went out crappy minus whatever youwant to call them, went back
out to put in it enterprise rightthere, and socer Stee came back up
the river to Bucksport, went rightto where those fish were the other day,

(01:08:29):
put the livescope down and they werethere again. And not a bike.
You couldn't get nothing on on ashining Nope, not a bike.
And listen, I'm going to tellyou. I mean, you're crazy.
You've seen livescope. Oh yeah,you could see the bait go right through
the fish. Like I literally sawthe bait sitting in the fish. And

(01:08:49):
then I went to another spot thatwas off on a side creek, a
little deeper hole that had some structurein it, had some laydowns, and
there were fish on it, andand I fished it until I had two
sick hurls on the boat with me. Their patients was wearing thin and mine
was wearing thin because theirs was wearingthin. But no bites, no bites

(01:09:11):
at all, and unshine and itis, yes, right, and I
am. I am completely over it. You know. I want to go
try something different. I want togo back there. I want to figure
out how to do it, howto catch them. I want to they're
there, they're fished there. Butlike I told Tony, who's to say
they're not brim exactly? Who's tosay they're not you know, shell crackers

(01:09:32):
or brim or something different that that. You know, I'm thinking in my
head going, well, hey,if it's brim, they should hit that
manta. Tony's right, I mean, their mouths are so small. They're
not going to put that mina inthere. It's hard for a brim to
eat a minnow that's more than aninch long. Yeah, and these were

(01:09:53):
these were good size, good sized, little crappy minnows. But it's just
amazing. But I know I sawbaths there and I didn't have anything to
throw for bass. But I knowI asked you to come after after the
shiners and sell I would have thoughtso too. We've caught plenty of them.
The last time me in English wentcrawbie fish. We went right here
in the marina at walk of watchingand we wore to bass out. Didn't
catch a crappie, but my god, we couldn't keep the bass off of

(01:10:15):
them. Yeah, it's set inone spot. One spot never moved and
just continuously had bass biting. Yep, yep. But it was like right
now it is when they're staging upto move back, yes, sir,
And they was grouped up, theywas pre spawn, ready to feed,
get their grind on, and wejust sat there and had a good time.

(01:10:35):
But that's a great option right nowif you want to go, I
mean about getting some shiners today andgoing to my favorite little pond and see
if the crafty work right now,I might have to second thought that one.
Well, listen again, I sawwhere there ain't been one charter captain
that does charters here on the river. I saw where he is. He

(01:10:55):
is now how long like four weeksof no fishing because of the water level,
and he's uh, he was supposedlygoing back and he had has dialed
in crappy fishing, and he's stillsaying that he's not going back, so
he's not catching them. I judgemy river fishing off of Mike Eatie's Facebook
page. Yep. I've been inthe ocean more than he's been on the

(01:11:17):
river, So that tells me.That tells you something. He loves going
crappy fision. It's it's not timeto hit the river yet. Yep.
I look at my buddy Jason Brittand I'm sure somebody's gonna call him and
say, hey, they were talkingabout you. I look at Jason.
If Jason hasn't been to his spotsand called him, then I don't think
they're biting. And and Tony andI always and I did it again,

(01:11:41):
will normally troll first and troll realslow. Uh and I did that the
other day, trolled right through thosefish with a beatlespin and with an understand.
I had a beatlespin and an underspinand never got a bite. So
maybe they're not biting. I don'tknow. I don't know. I can't
figure them out. I can tellyou that there's a bunch of people in

(01:12:02):
that same boat with you, timing, timing, timing, timing on that
river over there right now. Withthe water levels go it up down,
up, down, up down.It's got the fish suspended. They are
confused, they're just not They haveto eat, they have to eat every
day. But yet you've got tobe there when that time comes. So

(01:12:27):
timing is everything, and that couldbe at a mid low tide, it
could be at a dead low tide, a dead high tide. You just
have to figure out what that feedingtime for them is right now and be
around fish. You can fish allday and not be on a fish.
And there you go. You knowthe answer to that one. Yeah,
learned that. We've been learning thatlisten a lot this year. Hopefully it's

(01:12:49):
going to change soon. Man.That happens all of us. It happens
all of us. I mean,I look and Jason's guys had great days
two days ago. Whatever day wasbeautiful out, they all had some really
nice fish. Yep. You know, Jason had texted me and said,
dude, this charter season again.I guess he had six or seven trips.

(01:13:11):
You know, for some reason thisweek, all of a sudden,
everybody the weather. Everybody said,I want to go fishing. And just
because you want to go fishing doesn'tmean the fisher going to bite. But
those boys are on the fish andthey were able to catch them. I've
said it for a long time.I had a good week two weeks ago,
but since then it's been the yeahbear. Metric pressure plays a lot

(01:13:32):
yees into fishing world, and trendsplay a lot Today and tomorrow two different
days. Seventy today, fifty tomorrow. The verstaid is day seventy tomorrow,
right, yeah, tomorrows. Let'sbe cold. Always don't feel air temperature

(01:13:55):
now, but they fill water andthe water has to change. And this
time the year, the water temperatureis changing regularly, but it's mostly it's
on an upward trend right now.It's moving up a little at the time.
So the first day after a coalfront, you say, well,
it was forty yesterday and the dayit is seventy. If you're thinking in

(01:14:15):
your mind, it's beautiful, thefish is gonna be biting. Well,
the fish didn't get that message.They don't know that this seventy degrees outside.
But what does it take to getto seventy degrees? You come off
a cloudy coal front of a fortydegree day. To get to seventy,
you've got to have bright sunshine.And what does that mean. That means

(01:14:35):
you've got bluebird skies and high pressure. Ye high bear merch pressure this time
of the year following the col frontwill shut the fish down quicker than anything
you ever see in your life.Talk about why pressure for the many one
hundred or per all fifteen people thatare listening, talk about why high pressure.

(01:14:58):
Talk about why high pressu sure changesfish. Well, it's the pressure
on the fish itself because of aswim bladder. Their swim bladder gets pressure
on them because of barometric pressure,and that's why they stay where they stay
in the water column yep most ofthe time and the thermaicline. That's your

(01:15:21):
two major reasons other than their feedingtime. And like I said, they
have to eat to live. ButI've showed English this. You go to
the river, pick you up abuzz bait as soon as you get there,
and throw it and read it inand look at it. If you're

(01:15:43):
not leaving a bubble till behind it, I promise you to beary metric pressure
is rising. I'll bet you athousand times out of a thousand times,
and I'll take your money every timeyou get them. Days you'll go and
you can throw a buzz bait andat least a bubble trail from the hill
all the way back into boat.That's because the barometric pressure, it's not
putting pressure down on the water.It don't dissipate the bubbles. That's your

(01:16:08):
easiest thing to find out whether it'sa top water kind of day, or
whether I need to go to thebottom, do a shaky head, throw
a worm of finesse bait, somethinglike that. You could throw a buzz
bait all day long and there's nobubble trails coming up on the water behind
it, and you are wasting yourtime. You may you may get lunch

(01:16:30):
draggler fish to come up and nearit. That may just ain't eating three
days and starving to death. Thatyou just happen to run by and he
just a reaction bite where it's aggravatinghim and he'll slap at it. Yep.
Ninety five percent of the time you'renot gonna get bit on those days
on top of the water. Andit's just because of the barometric pressure putting

(01:16:50):
pressure down on the water itself thatchanges, and that that's what fishes relate
to. I learned something. Yeah, are you right? You're writing another
feather in my hat learning something?Hey, thank you? All right,
so we might have seventeen listeners.Thank you Kim Calton for your comment.

(01:17:10):
And Kim just sent me a greattext and he's correct, and I'm not
going to repeat what he said,but he is correct. And you know,
this is where I respect for JTreally comes. We know how good
a fisherman is, and JT caresabout the fishing side of it. You
can care less about the other stuff. We know that. And the problem

(01:17:34):
is that's why I have a singlemedia presence, because you said yesterday,
JT could get a call right nowand be one of those kids that goes,
oh man, I can't I gottago see my girlfriend to night.
He ain't that dude. He ain'tthat dude, brother, don't mistake it.

(01:17:58):
He's that kid to tell you,no, I'm not going to the
ball game because I'm going my buttetthe river. Yep. The kid acts
in work. That's who he is, which is hard to find in young
people his age's day. To putin the work that he put in.
It's hard to find that in youngpeople. It really is. Yep.
That kid has done it though.He's put in the work, put in
the effort time on the water.Yes, sir, And like I said,

(01:18:20):
he reminds me a lot of youfor this shear fact. He knows
what that bait's supposed to do onhis particular rod real setup. He just
does his due diligence. You oweit to yourself. You owe it to
yourself to sit down, look ata bait, figure it out, and
go what makes that work? Yep? Exactly what makes it work? Yep.

(01:18:42):
Once you figure out what makes thatbait work, then you can learn
how to use it and utilize itto your advantage. Yep. Because if
it's not doing what it is supposedto be doing, it's funtless sick.
It just three miles of the sortof lead weight and water and drag it
across with the hook and hope hesnacks. And that's fresh water, salt
water. It doesn't make it doesn'tIt doesn't matter what kind of water in

(01:19:03):
that point blank. You got toknow what you're using, how to use
it. A spinner bait. Ifthe blades ain't turning on it, it's
worthless. It's worthlessorthless, it's worthless. It's a chunk of lead with a
hook, just be dragging a limbthrough the water. Yeah, I agree.
You or to yourself to know whatmakes them work, how they work,

(01:19:27):
where they work, mighty work andwhich You analyze everything. As a
bass fisherman, if you want tofigure out fish, you figure out I've
told English. You catch your firstfish, analyze him, take five minutes
and figure out where he come from. What I was doing was a stopping
the lure, was a moving thelore. Did it bump off of something?
Did he come from a tree?Did he come from the lay down?

(01:19:48):
Was he just out in the open? You have to analyze every bite
you get, and when you dothat, you will figure out what the
fish are doing and why. Andat the end of the day you can
look back over and you'll go,well, damn, nine of those fish
come off of standing timber. Theydidn't want to be on laydown wood.

(01:20:09):
They wanted to be on vertical structureand they could move up and down.
And I'll tell you right now,fish in these rivers they would much rather
move up and down inside then thanbass to south. Right in the current,
they will go from zero to twentyfive feet ten times quicker, and
they will go zero to twenty fivefeet left. Yep. They don't want

(01:20:32):
to move. They have certain placesthey can be in the tide by because
of water breaks and stuff like that. There's a reason they're there. They're
not just there for whatever they justpopped up. They there because it's a
comfortable area for them to be inthat spot and they can do their job,
which is swim and eat. Yep. And Sandy River, oh yeah,

(01:20:58):
if you miss that much in seeingoh god, I was almost That's
where I was getting your year offall day. My first experience, will
you be throwing? My first experiencefast fishing and saning Tee River, it
was this is this current is waytoo fast. I mean I was like
mentally, just like, there's noway we're gonna catch fish here. Well,
it turned out the most fish thatI caught in that whole river came

(01:21:20):
from a little area that is thefastest current you can find in that river
at any point in time. AndTony, I mean we crushed it.
That. I mean that stretches whatfive hundred yards long, and we crushed
it in that one little area,all because of moving a bait four inches
further back being able to get itback there again. There we go casting

(01:21:42):
casting kills on learn to cast first. You know, people used to get
mad at my brother. Hey,hold that thought. We gotta got a
break. We're gonna go one lastbreak, jin and get it out the
way and we come back. We'llcover that and we'll finish it up.
And uh, don't go anywhere.So keep it short, all right,
keep you short. We're right hereon the Gator one O seven point nine.
We're the Southern English Radio Show.Right. Fish heads were back on

(01:22:04):
the Southern Anglers Radio Show, comingto you live via the Toyota Tunder Studio
presented by Sparks Toyota where the dealersalways in and by Key West Boats and
Marrisa's Marine of Laxi and George Town. Every day in the boat shows and
by pre de Voue Club where theboat was waiting. And I'll tell you
what I don't know, Tony.I meant to text you, have you

(01:22:24):
seen the new Tacoma? Yes,you saw it? I have You've not
seen it. I don't think it'sunbelievable, dude, I'm telling you does.
Every salesman, every salesman that I'mfriends with on Facebook has shared the
pictures of it. They got onein at sparks this week. It looks
like it's as big as my tundra, it does, but they look incredible.

(01:22:46):
If you want to check one out, Yes, if you want to
check one out, head over there. I don't want to hurt my feelings
because I'll never be able to affordone. Go over and see any of
our buddies over there, Dave Bowering, Chip Bull, Michael Holme, any
of that crowd over there. They'lltake good care of you. But go
check out that Takhoma. It isunbelievable. Yep. If I was gonna

(01:23:06):
get rid of old Blue, thatreally dark, gorgeous I did not get.
You know, maybe when we dothe ten year anniversary, which we're
on. Some moving dates here becauseof some other things. But we are
doing our ten year anniversary in Marchat Sparks Toila, and hopefully we'll have
one of those tacomas over there.Maybe we can do some demo rides in

(01:23:27):
it and check it out. ButI can't imagine that the fuel mileage is
going to have to be incredible onthat thing. And if you're a tundra
driver like myself, I love mytruck, don't get me wrong, But
the only thing that I dislike isthose trips to the gas pump when they
do happen, but it pulls myboat like there's nothing behind it. So
I'm very happy and real quick.Lucas, just so you know, I

(01:23:51):
did send you. We will talkmore in the coming months about an event
that we are working I'm working withGeorgetown County Parks and Recreation on and it
is going to be a first ofits kind tournament. If it happens,
it's not gonna happen. If it'snot right, I'll just tell you that.
I mean, it's not gonna happenif it's not right. They're they're

(01:24:14):
right, right, right right.When we say right, we mean right
right. But Lucas had a concernabout one of the things, and that
was the random draw of partners.And you know, maybe we get away
from that, maybe we don't dothat, maybe we do allow the other
teams. But it's it's it's veryearly right now. It is just a
big blob of clay. We gotto do a lot of molding. What's

(01:24:36):
up with the rodeo? Give usa rodeo in April. It will start
in April. And John, Johnand I talked yesterday for a while for
about an hour. John. Theshell is already done. Everything's in place
pretty much. The programs are inplace, but because we're making some changes,

(01:25:00):
we're of the door slam. Well, we're making some changes to it.
We're we're we're we're finalizing those beforewe make it live. But it's
not gonna start till April. Justlet everybody know. April December, so
there's no rush. But we dowant to get it live within the next
two weeks. I mean, hesaid it should be able. We should
be live in the next two weeks. And we we're gonna have to obviously

(01:25:25):
get all our way stations uh programmedon how we're going to do the weigh
in on how they're gonna be ableto up upload the fish weights and everything
else. But it's it's going tobe so much easier. It's gonna be
easy. It's gonna be easy,but make it a lot easier on you.
It's gonna make it a lot well. It's gonna make it here.

(01:25:49):
It's gonna make it enjoyable for usthe anglers. It's gonna make it enjoyable
for our sponsors too. That's thething, and it's going to bring us
more and through our partnership with them. But Fishing Chaos is also helping and
working with us on this. They'regoing to be working with us on this
new event that we're trying to doin Georgetown. And also I can say

(01:26:13):
this that there is going to bean Inshore Cup series that will include all
the inshore tournaments along the Grand StrandApproved in short tournaments will be a part
of it will be at every event. It will be a points system for
the year. You will fish youryour finish in each event will be how

(01:26:33):
you gain points. And at theend of the year Marshall's Marine Grand Strand
Cup, Inshore Cup, the GrandStrand Inshore Cup, we will be awarding
cash prizes. There will be aregistration fee. In that registration fee,
you will also be entering into therodeo, So you're kind of going to
get double whammy. You're gonna geta little discount on both. Well,

(01:26:54):
you're going to it'll join you fromboth and it will include the Green Saltwater
English Flounder Tournament, the Habitat forHumanity Inshore Slam Tournament, the World Championships
Finish Michael Derby, the New CaptainScotty's Inshore Slam Tournament in Little River,
the merles Initt Marshwalk Inshore Slam Tournament, the Rotary merles In Lip Rotary Flounder

(01:27:19):
Tournament, and a trout tournament.And I'll just leave it at that for
right now. A trout tournament whereit will be finalized. The finals will
be at the at the Trout Tournamentand the annual awards party will be in
January at the Gridstrand Rodeo Banquet.It is a it is a division or

(01:27:41):
however you want to call it.It will be a branch of the Gridstrand
Fishing Rodeo and it should be fun. Hopefully it will increase participation for the
tournaments and hopefully that will help bringmore people to it as well. You
are not going to have to fishevery tournament. Let's put that out there.
We are. I'm just gonna saythis, seventy five sixty to seventy

(01:28:04):
five percent when we get our finalnumber of tournaments will be the points that
will count. In other words,you fish eight tournaments, it'll be your
best five, the best four,best five will count. You'll be able
to miss three or you'll be acompetitor or drop your worst three. So

(01:28:25):
if you have a bad tournament oryou miss them, so will. We
will leave the registration open until weget to that x event, whatever it
is, whether it's the top fiveor top four, We'll leave the registration
open until then, and everything willbe run through fishing chaos. You will
be able to see where people stand. And the other thing is just because

(01:28:45):
somebody is leading after two tournaments oreven after three tournaments, things can flip
flop and change so crazy. It'sgoing to go all the way down to
the end. And I can't giveaway the points system yet because we're really
not sure how we're gonna do topoints yet. We have a good idea
it's gonna be a descending point valueobviously, and how you finish in the

(01:29:05):
tournament. But whether it's just amongthe tournament, it's just among the Cup,
the Marshall's Marine Cup teams, orwhether it's the overall tournament and the
points are divided out that way,we got to decide. So because not
everybody's going to be in it,we know that we'd love to for everybody
to be in it, but thatis something new for this year too as
well. And I'm trying to answerall these questions, trying to get get

(01:29:38):
trying to figure out here. Soyeah, Keith Walker, go over there
and check out that to come.I know you're looking for a truck.
Brother David Wilder said you need tocome fishing and Colmway to crap your bid
and of course they are, ofcourse the crap of your Biden somewhere.
It's a Saturday and we're doing aradio Yeah, and I'm always biting and

(01:29:59):
he thanks everybody that's tried to reachout or text or whatever during the show.
We appreciate it. We've got toget this figured out. You know,
our issue. We got geese flyinginto the pond behind us, and
that's Hey, we're pond road storage. We got a pond here. We've
got to figure out how to getonline with the station so that we're able
to free up up online so thatJenna can have phone calls and tie callers

(01:30:21):
in with us, and we'll figurethat out. Or I've got to figure
out how to bring people in tothe show through another route, because I
do have the computer here tied intothe podcaster, and if I can get
something up to where they can callin on another thing, or we can
take a call or something a messageover here that I can bring it through

(01:30:43):
here. Listen, I'm dumb.I am computer dumb. No, I'm
computer dumb. It's amazing that I'mbeing able to work all this stuff and
edit this and have this podcast upin twenty minutes as soon as we get
off the air. But it thereis a way that we can do it,
and there is also a way thatwe not Skype. We can't do

(01:31:05):
Skype, we already learned that,but there's another way we can do it
where we can talk to Jenna throughthe computer and have everything come through here
to do there. But anyway,that's technical stuff and we'll have to get
without him on that because he doesunderstand all that. Yep, all right,
So the call of Green cook Offfood will be served at two o'clock.
It's a shotgun start for all theteams at ten am, so they'll

(01:31:29):
start cooking at ten am. Soif you want to smell that wonderful smell,
get down there earlier. But I'mlike, don get there early.
Make sure you get there early.It's going to be crowded, y'all.
It is with that many teams cooking, and again, I think everybody's got
cabin fever and the weather's going tobe perfect for a Cali Green cook Off
tomorrow. So Uncle Tito's tomorrow.Head over there again. Ten year anniversary
