Thanks for the motivational post

Sometimes the busters are nice, but better things are sometimes down deeper. Bet you were stoked when you found that
nice afternoon bite on plastics. I could visualize the big smiles you had below all the facial sun gear. Great job out there
and thanks for sharing your adventure with us. Always ...

Thanks for the update! I'm ready to start hitting other lakes again and just trying to decide where to go this weekend. Info is good. Cheers!

Thanks for the report. That moon was defiantly a bright one on Monday!

Bet there was a lot of good natured smack talk out there.

Some good teasing was definitely going on! I think Vinny put in a couple more hours than he planned..trying to tie up the score! I think the heat was starting to make us a little wacky! I always learn some things when fishing with the ...

I had a decent morning yesterday at the Murr with all 6 fish coming courtesy of small 1/8 oz. Z-Man chatterbaits.

I know a lot of people that think the full moon negatively affects the fishing the following day, but I've fished the last 2 full moons and did average to above average! I can't really remember having a bad full moon day throughout the years!

Where's the videos and beers?


The videos are out there for sure! I went to Montana and made 2 videos from there (in the Trout Fishing section) and ...

I actually did not plan to fish today and got on the water with my kayak close to 7am. Had the pleasure to meet and chat with 1FishDude, who had a very cool pontoon set-up. It was a tough start as I was only able to land 2 bass until around 10.
Then things got a little better as I mixed it up with ...

Had a ball out at Murray Thursday. Met a great guy and guide in VinnyBass also. Started around 7 am and was surprised to see busters all over the lake. I started with a weighted fluke for no love as I made my way out to the middle of lake where i saw VinnyBass make some hook ups but didnt see him ...

Vinny VinnyBass was lamenting his inability to catch any topwater bass at Murray on hard baits last week. I have been able to pull a few, but I think the key is really downsizing your baits, and working them quite fast across the surface. Almost skipping them. The fish on top seem to be chasing ...

That is the goal! Glad it wasn’t lost. Cheers!

I was out there on a tube as well from 6:00-9:30 with only three bass for the day. All on a drop shot fluke dragged on the bottom as if fishing the bay for spotties. I launched out of Hernandez and fished that side of the peninsula. Water was chocolate milk and absolutely full of carp on the muddy ...

Better to get skunked throwing cool lures than catch some dragging senkos or some other cheesy rig.

Ive been getting some on old school cranks that ive had forever, so gratifying.

Im always happy working a jig or a spook, anywhere in the world, fresh or salt.

Good job, glad you got the stripe off your tube...
Spook? Did someone say Spook? What's a Spook?

Thanks for the update. Reality checks are a thing for sure that we all get from time to time. Glad you were able to get the stink off.

Hey everyone, not new to the forum but new to posting. I went out to Hodges with the goal of catching a PB. After grinding away for a couple of hours, I met another fisherman who was having some luck with crank baits. I have zero confidence with crank baits but patterns are patterns so I tied on a ...

Getting to that time of the year when they really focus on the baitfish!

Tried to get a few hours in the morning before the heat took over. they opened the gate at 6;00 and i set up the pontoon and was on the water headed down the Del Dios arm by 6;30. I was heading to a place i knew that has deep water because from the reports i got on folks throwing the kitchen sink at ...
