Good to see you guys out there.

Got out to the water around 5ish, this morning was a little off it was chilly, and windy had to throw the jacket on till about 7ish ,on the way to meet early release i threw the lizard around and hook 1 and mis a few bites once we meet up we search for some buster but ended up sailing around the ...

Yep pretty good day. Water was definitely clearer thatln I thought it was going to be based on the reports. Little bit of wind in the morning but seem to settle down at least in Hauser arm. We got blown up on topwater pretty good throughout the day. Also a few on the drop shot. Overall a great day ...

Thanks for the nice compliment. I do love a topwater bite.

Hey great meeting you guys out there! And congrats on an amazing fish too! That is so awesome that you're inspiring your boys. Cheers and see you out there again!

I’d take your sounder off the fish ID and use your standard gain adjustments. It’s harder to tell with fish alert setting. Thermocline can give you false readings. You’ll be able to see true marks better and adjust out the junk

It was a nice day yesterday.
I caught this fish on my whopper plopper
so it turned out to be a great day.
Looking forward to next month’s visit.

Sorry about the huge picture.
It was my first time posting anything and i did not know it would come out as it did.

Yes it was a good explosion on my whopper plopper and he gave a good fight.
I believe it was in pine creek area.
It was awesome.
Thank you.

That is a nice fish. I'm a big fan of the topwater bite at Barrett.

That’s a really nice fish in your photo.
I am looking forward to a bigger catch the next time out.
This one I got on my w.p. was about 10:00.
Thank you

Got out nice and early as usual. Air was warm and so was the water ( 81F) with a light normal wind, instead of the annoying strong early winds that have been there.
Pedaled over to Becky’s cove and found the usual friends there with the usual popper. Took a page from Pourboy’s last video and decided ...

I actually do have your rod holder and would like to get it back to you safely. I'm at the lake again on July 31 in the off chance you are there. Otherwise, I'm happy to mail it to you.

Let me know.

Nice report ..what was the temp at 10 when you guys took off

Thought I'd share a this.
I needed something to make it easier for my old lard ass to be comfortable fishing in the front of the boat.
Had trouble with the ribs. I made a wooden one first that was bulky and heavy.
Here is a light weight version that works really well and is the same height as the ...

Headed out usual time with Dave and Steve, warm 70 degrees, light wind. The fishing in the morning has been slow, especially top water until daylight. My usual crawler, popper did most of the damage. Got a couple of 2s,3s and 4.9, the explosion on each is awesome! Also found an area where it was ...

Here are some pictures

Enjoyed watching you landing fish on top water while I roasted in the heat( just kidding) I managed 22 with a 4.6 and 3.8 but nothing on top this time

I didn't break the 3 pound mark, but had a lot of fun in the corner casting my Rapala at the clones. It was a mixed bag of 1 and 2 pounders and the occasional larger swimbait size bass. I mean a bass the size of a swimbait, not a bass that would eat a large swimbait. Ahaha. And keeping with the ...

Appreciate the comments. I have enough projects to catch up on at home.
If you can butter bread you can do this without any special tools.
Just takes a little bit time.

Here's the update on 27 July. Got there at the usual time. Met a few of the usual suspects and we all headed out. Met one of the people on this site and had a nice chat. It was nice to meet you Steve. Warm at 0430 and the water was 79F. Very light and pleasant wind. Becky's cove has been busy lately ...
