Glad to hear I'm not the only one having a rough time . Sunday was super crowded and DAR was out taking surveys of the catches. I was the only one with a fish by 9, a small 10 in bass. 4 more times they passed by and divert time I had to shake my head nope . They said no one was catching . I did los...

alas yes, they say you cant win on day one but sure can lose. i think he is out of contention

aaron martins! 4 #2 finnishs that guy deserves a win!!

while road warrior is right, the thought is also you have a very small population in a very small area and taking more than one or two can easily wipe out a breading population. yes they are invasive species and all but for fisherman that enjoy going after them its hard to not be concerned. i have s...

i was wearing a surplus military gortex suit and it worked for awhile but after an hour or so in the really heavy stuff it began to fail. i was layered in sweatshirt underneath which helped even after it soaked through kinda like a wetsuit so thankfully i wasn't to cold but i was pretty well wet eve...

well that had to be one of the worst downpours i have fished in for sure. managed to limit and cull by lunch despite the adverse conditions. wasnt the bass bonanza i was hoping for but after i figured something out i did manage to get 12 fish losing a couple at the boat. learned some valuable lesson...

sounds like sunday is gonna be typhoon weather, if it holds off could be great, if it hits saturday night it could be miserable. bring some serious rain gear!

seaguar is great but yes hard to find and expensive. personally ive become a huge fan of yo zuri hybrid line. most of my reels are spooled with it. got burned out on the problems with flouro and the lack of sensitivity of mono. yo zuri combines the best of both with good sensitivity and great castab...

its been my experience that a few dedicated individuals make more of a diffrence than all the govt in the world can. its a bandaid on a huge problem but its always satisfying to fish a bank free of garbage even if its only for a few weeks or so. perhaps a recyclable collection too. tons of bottles a...

na alec that fish in the pic is my 3lb kicker i got to finnish the year out. didn't get a pic of the fish with the tuc in his mouth. ya i have seen some of the perch swimbaits and now i guess im gonna have to get at least one hahaha. i learned my lesson with that jaguar cichlid i got. if its somethi...

miserable weather, but the fishing was pretty good. got 3 largemouth in about 3 hours of fishing. called it quits with the freezing wind and rain and didnt get to the lake till 8. biggest went just under 4lbs with a nice 2.8 and a 1.11 too boot. i was surprised how many people braved the weather to ...

well saturday was fairly tough for fishing, least for me it took quite some time to get an idea where and what the fish wanted. i never did put all the pieces together but managed to get 8 after i figured out a part of it. 4 got off right at the boat, i couldnt keep em buttoned up, seems all of them...

id go with power pro, its one of the rounder braids and it works very very nice. have tried suffix,fireline , and spiderwire and power pro is much more subtle easy to cast. alot less backlash and dosent dig into itself as bad. get a small spool of braid and save the money. use cheap mono backing to ...

nice toad! saturday was tough, when we last saw you were were still trying to figure things out. lots of bait all suspended. serious thermocline at 6-9ft on the graph. we went down and drop shotted and shakey headed all the steep and deep stuff but to no avail. i managed to get 2 on a football jig j...

The hardest fishing there is, cold muddy water. Although our cold is relative hahaha. Well it's certainly better than no water which is where is was headed fast. Least boats can launch again just gotta clean em inside and out it looks like. No tucs for sure!
