Brought the college duo back together yesterday and grinded out 21.38 lbs of all spotted bass in a local derb! Always a blast teaming up and putting together a solid bag with nothing but spots. We caught all of our fish on a @strikekinglurecompany caffeine shad and a sexy dawg in the waves! @lews_fishing @strikekinglurecompany @toyotausa @str8up_mounts @aftco @nitroboats @costasunglasses @bassproshops @humminbirdfishing @minnkotamotors @mercurymarine @hinklemarine @dynamicsponsorships

One of my go-to summer techniques is targeting herring-eaters with the @strikekinglurecompany Caffeine Shad. I pair it with a @lews_fishing 7’4” Heavy Fast Custom Lite rod and a Custom Pro reel—perfect setup for casting this thing super far and triggering aggressive strikes.

Pumped to officially launch my new website — dylanakinsfishing.com! It’s packed with good stuff: my full tournament schedule, sponsor features, articles, and a bunch of videos and podcasts I’ve been part of. Plenty more coming soon—stay tuned! Huge thanks to my incredible sponsors: @lews_fishing @strikekinglurecompany @toyotausa @str8up_mounts @aftco @nitroboats @costasunglasses @bassproshops @humminbirdfishing @minnkotamotors @mercurymarine @hinklemarine @dynamicsponsorships

Check out this chunky spotted bass that absolutely hammered the all-new Tumbleweed from @strikekinglurecompany I’ve been testing it a lot lately, and let me tell you — they’re eating it so good it’s actually hard to get them unhooked! My setup: @lews_fishing Custom Lite SS @lews_fishing 7’ Medium Fast Elite Series Spinning Rod @strikekinglurecompany 10lb Tour Grade Braid to 8lb Contra Fluorocarbon

Wrapped up the Tombigbee Open with a 69th-place finish after jumping over 20 spots on Day 2 to salvage some points.This one stings a bit—I made some key mistakes on Day 1 that cost me a check. But that’s part of the game… we live, we learn, and we grow. Caught all my fish this week winding the @strikekinglurecompany Tour Grade Double Willow Spinnerbait and flipping a Rage Bug, both paired with 17lb Contra Fluorocarbon. I’m back home for a couple months to fish around the house before we head north to the Chesapeake Bay. Huge thanks to my amazing sponsors for the continued support: @lews_fishing @strikekinglurecompany @toyotausa @str8up_mounts @aftco @nitroboats @costasunglasses @bassproshops @humminbirdfishing @minnkotamotors @mercurymarine @hinklemarine @dynamicsponsorships

It’s been an absolute grind out here in practice this week at the Tombigbee River. Gonna lean on the @lews_fishing Super Duty reels and try to put five river monsters in the boat. There’s been a lot on my mind, but I know Coach Pam is watching from above. She always loved the grinder tournaments—and every cast this week is for her. #ᴄᴀɴᴄᴇʀsᴜᴄᴋs #beyondtheboat Grateful to be supported by: @lews_fishing @strikekinglurecompany @toyotausa @str8up_mounts @aftco @nitroboats @costasunglasses @bassproshops @humminbirdfishing @minnkotamotors @mercurymarine @hinklemarine @dynamicsponsorships

Finished up at Norfork with a solid 23rd-place finish. No weigh-in photos this time, but we put together a little something to show the wild weather we battled all week. Huge thank you to all of my amazing sponsors for making this journey possible. Couldn’t do it without you! Excited to keep the momentum rolling into Wheeler next week for the MLF College National Championship! Let’s go! @lews_fishing @strikekinglurecompany @toyotausa @str8up_mounts @aftco @nitroboats @costasunglasses @bassproshops @humminbirdfishing @minnkotamotors @mercurymarine @hinklemarine @dynamicsponsorships @emmanuelathletics

Practice for Norfork has been an interesting one, and with the lake set to rise four feet before blastoff, it’s about to get even wilder. Time to put our heads down, adjust, and go swinging!
