NOW I know why I can't catch em anymore. 😂😝

well, you know as well as i do that the run of the mill bank beaters will struggle, and catch mostly dinks.  it really takes a good skill set to break down the shallow bass and figure out where the quality bites are.

rick holmden and bill watson were very good at it, and my buddy mike sowders is as good as it gets in figuring out a shallow bite.

You know as well as anyone that I like to poke fun at any opportunity... especially at myself! 😂

That shallow bite has sure changed over the years as we continue to lose valuable cover for both the baitfish and bass. Anymore, I pay far more attention to rock composition than wood. 

And I spend more and more time farther out with each passing year.

on bull shoals, you really pay attention to rock type and transitions.  becoming more prevalent on table rock each year.

Yeah I think you move about a 1/4 inch "farther out" every year.  😄

You might need to ZOOM in on that map a little more . 😉

You do realize that's almost six and a half millimeters though don't you?

When one looks at it from that perspective it's actually quite a ways!

All things being relative and all.......😋

Thanks for the morning laughs, you guys. I needed that!

MRI is scheduled today at 12:30 to see what's going on with my back. Seeing the specialist again tomorrow. Ready to get some resolution going. This convalescent state is miserable.
