got an early start, my son woke me up at 5 to make sure we wouldnt miss the fishing. had high hopes after also reading stans posts the night before. again no busts no fish to be found and tried all the usual spots, nothing in the grass or on points or wood cover. luckily got a small lmb on a crankba...

yep congrats on the wilson triple crown, ite even sweeter considering how tuff the fishing was!!

didnt miss much saturday, only 3 boats out and windy with passing rain. fish were uncooperative at best although still got a few and some nice blowups in the grass,im gonna miss the grass when they start draining it off. clarity sucked in the main basin and southfork but wasnt to bad up along northf...

well the water is very very stained, not muddy but very close. fish still seemed intrested in biting. the morning was great had like 5 blowups on a buzzbait around grass edges, not a single one hooked up. switched to a topwater frog (aka kermit) and got 3 fish deeper in the weeds pretty quick but al...

yes the triple crown of wilson! i was so bummed last year, everyone seemed to be catching smallies in the main basin for several months and i tried and tried and tried and no luck!! but so many people were catching them around the lake i felt it was a really great sign of the lake doin well on the r...

well its lost that orange tinge, but it still looks like a big lake of yoohoo. hopefully in another week it will get back to a clear stain, maybe in two back to a decent clarity before they drain it off!!

that is good news, it usually settles down within a few days if the weather holds nice, at least to a manageable color or stain.i think if the weather holds maybe 2 weeks it will be normal and just in time for summer!

well its officially orange all the way to the dam, i think the current going over the dam helps drag the mudline to it faster. i wonder how long it will be chocolate?? mudlines on the boats and forget tucs, make sure you run fresh clean water through the outboards after that muddy lake water!!!

ditto im in, remind us prior too and ill try and be there. what do we need to bring?

actually snakeheads/pongee were once common here in the lake but have really disappeared for some reason, alot of speculation as to why. i dont think many of the old timers would take kindly to dismantling one and throwing it on the bank, especially since they are so rare now. i have never tried one...

waters high! and looks like yohoo both north and south forks, but the main basin hasnt turned chocolate yet, im sure its headed that way though. so much for site fishing nests!

last year i had a huge hit on a series 6 deep crankbait, pulled line and drug my boat from facing the bank to 180 degrees facing away, battle lasted 30- 40 seconds and never saw the fish, there was a snap and the 15lb test broke at the waterline............. at first i thought it might have been a v...

a new lake legend?? PEDRO the tucanare with attitude!!!

so many ways to fish it really, a short hop hop hop, dragging, shaking. any any combination of them, you really cant go wrong with the retrieve if the spot your in has fish and you just need to keep at it to find a retrieve that works. once you get a fish or two on it you will get some confidence in...

i use mine religiously, it takes awhile to figure out what how to read the things but once you get an idea it really helps establish patterns. it would be nice to get a imaging one but the 2 i have on the boat are midrange hummingbird ones that do alright.
