Monkey Island in the background... though it will never more be an island.

Absolutely gorgeous fishing morning. Overcast skies and gentle breezes. Splash a Gunfish within 3 or 4 feet of a breaking fish and that fish was on!

The best color I donated to the lake via a hard hookset last week...Ghost Minnow!

I know a guy with a Lynx... Tony?

you've caught that 4th one before!

Definitely a session to remember! I had 15 in the same 7:00 time frame! One particularly frustrating thing happened. Even though I use a short mono leader on my Gunfish Rig, the trebles got thoroughly tangled in my 8 lb braid! I did not want to take time to tie a new leader with fish crashing ...

They do swim in Schools!

By jove, jolly good fish!

Are you the A-rig guy?

Nice vid!

The mystery of bubbles coming up from the depths is solved... fish laughing!

At a lake where almost nobody fishes... cause the bite is terrible!

Oh yes he do!

Beautiful! In Texas we called those ponds "tanks". Fished a few of them as a kid!
What's the humidity like? I hope better than Texas!

I dropped a setup in the lake last Friday and got it back! Definitely worth the try!

Vinny, 8 bass better than no bass! You're just spoiled!

What are you horsing those big fish out with... straight braid??? Extra Heavy rod?

Thanks for the tackle donation! Will pick it up as the water level drops!

Green gnats seem to be a yearly plague at EC!

9 surgeries, mostly basel cell. A few squamous. I asked my dermatologist what I could do to stop this. He said, "nothing, the damage was done decades ago". Which is weird because I have never been a sun worshipper.

So this warning is mostly to the youth...who won't listen anyway!

fish looks bigger!
