Finally some shallow fish!!!

About 10min into my day my Spot Lock quit working on me so I called an audible and decided to just go shallow and run shorelines. Turned out to be the right move. Seems like these few warm days we’ve had pushed some fish shallow. Found quite a few shallow fish all ...

It’s been a while. All were caught on hard baits too!!

I’ve never seen the parking lots so full.

Only tuber on the lake

I was there today as well. Didn’t do nearly as well as you did… had 3 bites and landed 1. Nice work

You can tell the watercolor paled that fish up some. Nice work!

I know I’m going to sound like a grumpy old man here but please bear with me.

To the Basshole in the white Ranger with beige and black stripes. Just because I started in the same spot you wanted to doesn’t mean you continue to roll in on me until you, literally, cast across me! Get to the lake ...

My sentiments exactly. Great job out there and thanks for the reports.

And that is why I NEVER fish holidays..and very rarely fish weekends! Congratulations on getting some fish, even though the knuckleheads tried to keep you from catching them! I'm not sure why fishing etiquette goes out the window on those days??

That’s one of the big reasons I quite tournament fishing several years ago. Put a few bucks and some points on the line and all common courtesy goes out the window! Now I fish for fun and it is SO much more relaxing (usually! 😅)

I’ve got about 3 weeks left of enjoying weekday fishing before I ...

Bass fishermen hating bass fishermen! FYI, float tubers and kayakers seem like the nicest people on the water, at least in my experience. Maybe something about having to work to get to a spot makes the difference. And we couldn't make a wake if we wanted to.

Good thing you managed a good day regardless of people being inconsiderate and thinking the world revolves around them.

This phenomenon just isn't happening with bass boaters on the water.

I call it the "Cartman-ization of Society."

This post is so true though. Some guys just don't give a sh!t and its plain disrespectful. Glad you had a good day regardless.

Said it once, said it a thousand times...... San Diego County Bass Fishing= 10 Pounds of Fishermen in 3 Pounds of Lake.
At the Lower Colorado River of Havasu I never run in to others trying to encroach on my spot, because there is a abundance of shoreline.

With that said, it's just a bad in the ...

I hear you Moose.
I have learned to try to be more lenient when a guy with his family for example, are in rental boat and have no clue that when
they come close to where I am fishing or cut between me and the shoreline. Not fun, but I guess most do not really know any
better and are just out to ...

You’re safe from my wrath then!

I guess I’m lucky in that I don’t eat fish. Go figure! I’ve been fishing since I was 4yrs old, so 53yrs. I have tried fish every way possible and the only way I can eat it is in a fish taco, or deep fried, which kind of defeats the purpose of eating fish. I actually wish I did like fish but I cannot ...

They are good for the garden too

Well our boat rental plans bombed, so chose to spend an hour on a pier looking for what is different from last week.
Last week:
Water level lowest I've seen in 15-years.
Through clear water to about 15', nothing looked attractive at all.
Skunked.
Crappy trout fishing as the scheduled plant could not ...

I have no idea if C &R works but after listening to the Joe Rogan and Robert Kennedy Jr podcast im convinced that all of our fish in our local lakes have too much Mercury and heavy metals etc to eat often. I have had bass before and i think they are delicious but there is a serious concern as to the ...

That’s some nice angling out there. Much better than my meager total of three.

Hit a lake for the first bass fishing since mid November. It wasn't an epic bite, or even a steady bite, but I was rewarded with one nice one, going 4lbs-12oz on the digital. It bit a pumpkin/purple jig with a pumpkin/purple Power craw pinned on. I must give props to Pourboy for that color ...
