REVIEW OF 2021 FISHING SEASON

Kyle with a couple good smallmouth from the Kansas TBF Youth Championship on Melvern.

          This year things got back to normal; a little special in fishing. Fishing was a lot tougher due to all of the tournaments. There seems to be a tournament every week on all the Kansas lakes.  Good or bad? You had to be flexible when you fished and try different things all while also having to force the issue.

          I would say our tournament season was probably one of our best this year. We were very consistent with several Top Ten finishes.

We caught a lot of fish this year, just not many big fish. We were not able to fish as much as we would like with the boys going to High School and doing a lot of High School activities. I will tell you that the boys tried a lot of different techniques this year. Fishing is supposed to be fun, so this last year, I really focused on fishing stuff I enjoy to fish. We are looking forward to next year.
