How do you like that prop on your trolling motor? Thought about trying one.


The new prop is officially tested and approved. It’s surprisingly awesome. I’m getting a speed increase of 1 to 1.5 mph, with much better battery efficiency and negligible impact to torque. The only downside is that ...

Monthly for sure.

Thanks for the report David. Not sure what thrust trolling motor you have, but I upgraded my battery to a lithium and it seems to be a lot more punchy.

I haven’t been fishing in three friggin weeks… can’t wait to get back out there on Saturday!

It's only a 30lb thrust and I do use a 100ah ...

Great to see you guys out there on Saturday John! We had a great time, but had to put in some work compared with recent sessions. I ended with 37, Theo was closer to 50 — but that’s after a full 12 hour day of fishing.

The larger fish were harder to come by—I think they were deeper than we were ...

Hello crew, I’m wondering what your thoughts are on the potential impact of this week’s rain on this weekend’s fishing? In your experience does the rain impact the way you will be fishing (e.g., does it drive the fish deeper or shallower or impact any other behaviors)? Just curious of your thoughts ...

Gearing up now! I’m hoping for some top water action in the am.

Haha great minds think alike… already in touch with John!

On the water with my two boys and a boat ticket just before 7am. Our confidence spots were not hitting as hard as they have been over the past few weeks. Stayed in the main lake until we picked up a buddy at 9am. I focused on various top water approaches — flukes and small poppers produced the best ...

Really enjoyed your report and those were some great photos. Lots of bass must have been
so much fun with the boys. Love that pic with you holding up the big one!
That DT Hula grub has been a plus for me also with a 7lb'er recently at Mur.
Thanks for sharing and tight lines always. :-)


Thanks ...

Good to see you out there David! You did better than we did — slow day for us (about 50 total). Zero top water and plenty of smaller fish making our numbers. Although your secret weapon helped Theo at the end! Beautiful day on the water though!

One part little league, the other is that I don’t like long goodbyes (even for the lake). The season went by so quickly.

Hard to believe the season’s already over. This was our third year of bass fishing, and it all started with our first trip to Barrett. Funny enough, I think the fishing was actually better in 2023 and 2024 than it was this year, but my numbers tell a different story. First season I was averaging ...
