To further camobass 's point, most if not all our lakes need culling and better management. There's another perspective of genetics. That female that you're talking about could easily be predisposition to producing sub-par growth (aka dinks). Its not correct to assume that bass grow and evolve ...

So,

As everyone knows Hodges opened last week. I've been starving for a crappie bite all year. I had to go. Plus the kids have been asking to get out as well. Thought it was the perfect opportunity for both.

Got there in line before it opened to ensure we got a rental.

The ramp is now the parking ...

Last week after a year of forced hiatus, I finally got out fishing and had a good day. But it only gets better, because this week I got to share it with and old friend. Like last week, it was a short day of about 3 1/2 hours. I always feel pressure to catch some fish when someone goes with me, but ...

My report over the last couple of Sundays at Lake Hodges fishing for crappie - it's been nothing short of spectacular from the kayak with the ultralight gear. I see a lot of guys bringing home limits(25) but, I end up releasing most of my fish and keeping a handful of the nicer models for various ...

No takers today
Saw quite a few carp - mostly jumpers or cruisers - no tail feeding - did see a few feeding on the surface (saw a lot of lips)
Not a warm sunny day early - thought that may have kept them down a bit
I hiked over to the end end so maybe I will try a different area next time

Caught a few at Henshaw last Sunday… both were clooping and using a slow sinking fly ( chartreuse Lino Jubilado’s green eggs and ham, other fish on a John Montana hybrid with red tail and plastic eyes).

Well documented that some have cheated & used cookie cutters to stamp out the wings of rays & skates & "labeled" sold them as "scallops' @ fish markets, restaurants, etc.....
Not kidding....

Look at atrains spools....
crammed full of braid & very short topshot, thats the way to do it!!!!
Time to get with the current times...
Even deep drops fishing rockfish, you will feel a rockfish sneezing on your bait!
You can get 400 yards of 65lb braid on a tiny Penn Fathom FTH25NLD2

I'm on their mailing list, and got a message from them...they're looking to do a tournament if there's enough interest. Here's the gist....

"Here is what we are looking to do. We will not be able to do what we did before with the setup on the grass. We will be using the OutBoard Boating Club (OBC ...

Always a good time..
Dwayne frequents these boards, wonder if hes still at it or did he retire himself from running the tourney....

Thank you

This isn't your typical tube. I’ve owned many brands. The material doesn’t compare to the build of this one. They even give you a 5year warranty when you buy it new. It’s definitely the flagship. And it’s a big boy tube.

The attacking is already starting. Just leave it in the past and get over it. Anyone can guess why the site is gone and we will probably never know. Keep it neutral and move on. Bashing has started. -spilt milk, water under the bridge… If someone sees that there is all ready badmouthing against them ...
