Texas rigged roboworm I think it’s called tequila moonshine on a split shot rig

Been about a week and a half since my last trip to Murray which was fun and topped off with a 5.50 lb bass. Always pretty excited to be back on the water at Murray, but something seemed strange. Scouting around there was literally no busters anywhere. I think I only saw one but the lake surface was ...

Started the morning in the rental boat at 520 went strait to beginning of Harvey was able to do the norm catch couple everytime I moved down 100 yds started with 8 my buddy 10 after couple hours of drizzle and glassy waters the bite shut down for couple hours for us from id say 9-12 so we went to ...

Heading out to run errands yesterday morning, I took one rod and a ziplock of a few assorted baits and thought I would stop by Santee Lakes for an hour or so since I would be out in that area. Heck, why not?
Somehow I changed my mind and just headed to the SD River to rough it(ha ha) and toss a few ...

Ventured more than a few miles from my house to the lake of Donald and Kiefer this morning. Greeted of course by Mcfish
and then later met up with Fisheromen . Headed over to an area which I quickly labeled "McFish Point" since he does seem to fish there often. Brought my lighter kayak(roughing it ...

Sure looks like great conditions!

He intentionally catches anorexic fish...thinks he's doing them a favor!

I have endured Mr. Vinnybass harassing me for years, questioning my quanity over quality attitude..so today I put away my finesse baits and brought out the bigger stuff! The good news..I averaged bigger fish (I think). The bad news...my quanity was way down! The worse news...Vinny caught more than ...

Line size, hook size and bait is a slippery slope =D I definitely think you get more bites on lighter line and smaller hooks. When tuna fishing you sometime need to go down to a size 4 bait hook on a 5 or 6 in sardine to get bit. Then you risk pulling the hook after you bit.

All nice looking ...

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!

Back at Pelican Lake in northern Minnesota for my annual trip. Weather is tough at times with wind and rain. Still getting some nice chunks on jigs, senkos, drop shot and my trusty craw bait. Not much action as yet for smallies though and too windy for topwater so far. We really can’t complain when ...

Couple nice four pound plus LMB chunks from Pelican Lake, Minnesota. Only disappointment of the trip is the lack of nice smallies that we got in previous years. Had a lot of fun the last two evenings on topwater action with the rat and the grasshopper.

Needed to try something different and headed up to Lake Miramar with my kayak this morning. It was foggy for a bit and it may be a little soon for topwater as I talked to a local who seems to be there almost every time I go there.
I did get a bass on a small jerkbait, but after a while of trying ...

Wow, what a story! I guess we will all wonder what broke you off. Deadsticking the Senko. Seen it work for others, I have never tried it.
Those are some nice looking chucks.


Something hit it on the fall or very close to the bottom as I was casting into deep water as my line never got slack.
I ...

After reading Mr. Vinny's glowing report on Miramar yesterday, guess where I went today...yep, Murray! It started out good with a couple topwater fish, but within 10 minutes they were gone! I heard that the day before the busters were at the other end of the lake, so I kicked all the way across the ...

Had not planned to go fishing today so I ate breakfast and took care of just a few things around the house and then ended up in the garage. I always end up messing around with some fishing gear when I am in there and put some new braid on one of my reels. Suddenly I decided to take a late morning ...
