Very nice Paul! Let’s hear the story!

Cold, wet day catching mini bass on a Jerk Bait. Had 7 or 8, all under 2 lbs. One about 5" long. I was going to fish to the end of a certain point and call it a day. About 30 feet from my quitting place I threw my Lucky Craft Pointer 65 into some shallow ...

Its been years since I caught a double digit bass. I saw a fish that looked decent sized. I jigged the area for a while with no bites. I grabbed another rod with a slug. Twitched it through the trees, and BAM! Now im fighting a giant. I kept expecting her to come off because she was so big. She ...

Being forgetful made my SD River fishing trip a little tougher this morning. Last night I sorted out a selection of crawbaits,
senkos, creature and a few other plastic worms in little ziplocks that were geared just for the SD river. This way I could travel light
as I have a tendency to bring way ...

My dad actually framed it for me.

Every 1,000,000 cast we get lucky and everything works like magic

How many have found baits along the bank in trees in the weeds or wherever when fishing and went on to fish them???
I mostly fish Hodges and it has more fishing line,hooks,baits,hard and soft,trash and used fishing gear than any lake I've been to!!!!
I'm always pulling braid and mono line out of my ...

Haven’t been on SDfish too much lately but I decided to post this catch. I was planning on taking out the kayak but didn’t want to go through the hassle of loading it up so instead, I went on the bank. I saw some fish busting so I decided to throw a small 2.8 Keitech on an underspin. I got caught on ...

Nice. What did they bite on?


Galen,
However I may now be limited to lake pier fishing, I still throw every thing in my bass tackle box at 'em every time.
But.....as it was with these and seems to be with most others, they all came on a drop-shotted plastic. (Gotta use skinny sinkers; no knot ...

Also, all in 20-25' of water.

I’m with you on the early kick-outs. I’ve been yelled at at least once for not going on the first warning. Ok maybe the second

Not sure if you knew, but that pier you’re fishing from is where the largest documented largemouth bass ever was caught. They even named her “Dottie” for an identifiable mark on her jaw. The fish was supposedly “accidentally” snagged a number of years ago by a big bass angler who was bed fishing ...

The best lure to throw there is this one…

Months ago,I got a Jackall Gantarel Jr as part of a deal selling a rod and it has never touched the water. While waiting for my buddy Larry to launch his boat I made a few casts near the boat ramp and was surprised when a small bass slammed it. I was amazed a small bass would hit it and yet so ...

The fat one bit a Mattlure hard wake gill at first light.

By the pictures it looks like you were using an inline spinner on a few.??


Yeah, I had some Damiki under spins and put on some BassTrix Flash shad as a trailer.

The hooks are small on it and the bait got banged a lot but did land some fish.
A smaller trailer may have been a ...

I gave you guys a nice 14 day vacation from me posting reports from Lake Murray, but sorry, it's time to post again. I will try to keep it brief(ha ha... Mcfish knows that is not going to happen).
Hit Murray late morning and pulled in a small bass on a reaction bait waiting for any surface action ...
