Fishing it in the 80s back in high school days, everyday was a 100 fish day. That really does not count as the lake was closed to fishing.
During the Lottery Days there were a couple of hundred fish days for me right in the beginning. As time progress with fishing pressure counts got much lower ...

I remember when the lottery system existed, 100 fish days were common. I believe they can still happen.
Yes, I’m talking more about the opener report vs big numbers. Guy had pics from different lakes, pics from a post a year ago and multiple pics all with a different hat, facial hair etc. if you ...

I see a lot of anglers are using it. I also see the controversy it is causing in the tournament world. Some even blaming low tournament signups and falling sport interest on it.

I myself have never used it. My ignorant opinion from the outside looking in, would be negative. These are my thought ...

Thanks for all the reply! Wow!! You guys have brought up somethings that I would have never thought of. I am going to go through and read your responses again, to really understand everyone's own point of views. Some of these response have given me another perception to what I thought it was all ...

Yes she has. I was thinking she looked pre spawn.
Nice fish!

Nice job Vinny I will b throwing a craw haven’t got bit on it last week 🎣👍


It’s kind of a hit or miss with craw baits, but I’ve caught many healthier bass over those years on them and creature baits. It seems they work best when you toss them over rocky areas or areas with structure. At ...

Some real nice chunks there Dan! BFS slaying.
Keep living the good life Brotha!

After some quality bigger fish yesterday it was back to clones at Murray today. I actually wasn't going to post, but I just had to share a picture of this pretty clone I caught. The picture doesn't really do it justice. It had the most beautiful golden almost orange tone to it. Very dark and vivid ...

What a day! Thanks for sharing=D

Except when he is using a 5/0 XXX Owner Treble to snag spawning bass!

It's such a great lake! Glad you had a fun time=D

Jennings is a great one for shore fishing. Santee lakes too =D Good Luck!

That's catching not fishing =D Keep it up!

It happens to all of us. One of my last trips there, my Son was backing in the boat and it let it slip out of my hand and it was just floating in front of the launch ramp at 6 AM. It was turned sideways and blocking everyone from launching. Felt so bad and dumb.

As for the wheel. just wait a few ...

Great day. Cat must of been fun.

Nice, what was the bait of choice?

Thanks for doing what you did.

It's really sad that an area that could be a destination for world class freshwater fishing is so poorly managed. I guess it's good that those people can't close our ocean, they'd figure out how to mismanage that too.

And yes, Barrett fishing has been great ...

What a toad! Nice job.
Question ... How does someone take a vacation from a vacation? Hahaha Have fun=D

Last time I saw you post about a rare shore outing, you stuck a 9ish pounder on a black Hud at Murray. No 9 pounder this time, but still got one=D

That fish is all head. She could use a couple of Filet O Fish Sandwiches and maybe a cheeseburger.
Sure looks like great conditions!
