The Starting Spot: 2026 BPT Schedule, Feeding Trout to FL Bass, and No Place for Hate in Bass Fishing

In today’s 7-10–25 edition of The Starting Spot:

-The 2026 BPT Schedule was just announced with some pretty exciting picks. Guntersville and Hartwell both in the winter and O.H. Ivie in March. Interesting!

-Florida Fish and Wildlife is hoping to increase overall bass size by stocking rainbow trout. It seems to work in California.

-James Hall is right! It’s way past time to put all the negativity behind us, and get back to loving what’s great about bass fishing.
