Nice bro! I'm not too familiar bass fishing lakes, I'll cast 100 times and hop all around the tributary... never had any luck. The best tip I have is... the more your out on the water, the more you'll learn how to change techniques with the changing of the tides and other various factors.
Regardless of being skunked, any day out on the water is a good day! Enjoy it, catch some sunshine (really enjoy Gods beauty in it all...)
All about good company brother, lots of charters have unethical anglers. Makes the experience less enjoyable, especially with younger crowds going in and having no respect or manners....
But hey! I fish with the Seeker gang. Come out! And learn, lots of old timers... they definitely got patience!
Try killing a 200#BF in 25 Mins and doing it all over again , such a DRAG!!!
