Thank you for letting me feel the calm. Life with you is a fortune I never knew existed. Beyond forever, my beautiful wife, Sarah ❤️ 💍 #mrandmrs #summerwedding

This autumn has been slow to go. Water temps are still in the 50s across Michigan. Baitfish should be coming shallow any day now (been saying that for weeks). My success has been made on offshore wind blown humps in spots where the bottom is harder. They would pick up the @berkleyfishing jig and Maxscent Power Chunk shallow and swim out deeper with it instantly. This hookset was almost vertical. Love a challenge and the game 💯 🍉 🧱 🛠️ #BassFishing #BerkleyFishing #AbuGarcia #SwateFishing #MercuryMarine #LargemouthBass #Lowrance #Minnkota #PureMichigan #upnorth

A lipless crank bait has been a big play in my tackle box arsenal since I was a kid. You can say I have been trappin since day one 😏 🧱 🍉 They are an incredibly versatile bait that can be put to use no matter the conditions. While there are a lot of great fish-catching models on the market, I am a big fan of the @berkleyfishing War Pig, and so are the fish! They have color and size options available for whatever application you find yourself in. #BerkleyFishing #AbuGarcia #SwateFishing #LargemouthBass #PureMichigan #MercuryMarine #minnkota #smallmouthbass #BassProShops #mossyoakfishing #astroboats

“That was the best food I have ever had at a wedding”- my Aunt Donna. Food is very important to me. It’s such a crucial element of when we come together as people. I am passionate about good food because of the role it plays within culture 🤌🏼That’s why having the best catering for the wedding was very important to my wife and I for our wedding celebration. @ardianasrestaurant in Novi did an amazing job by coming through with some of the best tasting food with quality ingredients. They were professional, punctual, and easy to communicate with. I highly recommend their catering services OR stopping by their restaurant on 10 Mile Rd. The Kalaj family will get you taken care of! 🍔 🥙🧆🍗🥞🥔🥖🥩 #Food #Catering #bestrestaurants #detroit #novi #wedding @albanianfishingguy

Foresight fishing was an idea long before it became a reality. The mission is to create an independent platform where fishing information, coverage, and so much more could be shared while having a good time with it. It started with the objective to self-publish fishing-related content. If you enjoy reading articles that have been influenced and revised by industry professionals, along with memes, hot takes, recipes, and extra, this place is for you. The word ‘foresight’ was chosen in the title as it defines the thoughtfulness and efforts that go into something beforehand, especially when preparing for a day on the water. Welcome! Come along for the ride and let’s see if we can catch something while learning a thing or two along the way. Maybe about the fish—maybe ourselves.
