Well I got to the lake 6:30am , very lite crowd. Looked for the mcfish-mobile, no luck.
Headed out ,very nice morning, caught 5 small males quick thought water temp is warming go look for some bluegill.
Good call, caught 6 nice ones. I posted them on the panfish site.
Hope everyone has a great ...

Looks like most of them were hooked on the left side of their mouths. Must be the killer hookset technique.=)


Actually the Damiki bait fell out of the blind eye bass when I landed him in the boat so I just hung it there for the pic. I hold bass
with my right hand when I take a pic and hold ...

That's one hell of a way to lip a bass. You loose less of them too, since you don't have to get them close to the boat=)

Vinny what kind of spoons are you throwing and how big, You seem to be the only angler using then out here.

I can lip a bass 5' from my tube or boat...

Why Vinny has a long handled net...

Joking, like guys hanging swim baits on bass that were caught on dads for photo ops

Hello all,

Got out bright and earlyish to Hodges. Something like 0630. No wind at all and water temp was 62F. Also no blanket of fog on the water, so you could see pretty well. Kind of made me miss the fog. Water was warm enough for me to poke around with the popper, and follow with the spinnerbait ...

Shooooot. Absolutely NOTHING wrong fishing live bait.

Just checking in once again from Norcal...... as it is spawn/post spawn almost.... I stuck this 12.12 on a free rig brush hog just this past weekend after placing 6th in a 210 Kayak tournament on clear lake. Sharing fish is all I am here for! Once again its nice to drop in and read up on how the ...

As always Vinny showing me how it's done. Good catches brother!

I got my first float tube in 1981, and still doing it. Had a bass boat, inflatable dingy, kayak, and I just keep coming back to the tube. With the Bixpy motor underneath it I don't even have to worry about the wind. To me, it's the perfect fishing platform. That having been said, even after all ...

Late post but had to share. Had a decent day on the water. Found a new spot today thanks to a generous fellow fisherman in line who was nice enough to show me. Ended up with 9 fish for the day. Had 1 on a spinnerbait first thing in the morning and then switched to a shakeyhead for most of the day ...

I got to the lake at sunrise, clear skies and a light breeze. Soon I noticed a fog bank crawling over the dam, followed by the wind picking up and in no time the lake was engulfed in fog with a 20' visibility! I'm guessing the lake is up another 8'-10' from 2 weeks ago, another challenge to deal ...

Can someone please explain how to correct my photo? I know it’s gotta be something simple but I can’t figure it out. Thanks


Pic is fixed.
Nice job out there. That was a fat one.


Here ya go for your question.... it is pretty easy once you do it.

Beautiful day in a Cumberland! Personally I love foggy conditions. However too foggy makes me nervous on a float tube. One time at Murray I got caught out in the middle of the lake in fog so thick that visibility was maybe 20 feet. For about an hour I had no idea where I was.

I was happy that ...

Definitely better than last year, wish it was up about 15' more to put my rock piles in a better depth. I think my lost fish was an easy 4lbs..always are when you lose them......

Way to go! I have only had luck with the smaller spoons. i have some of the larger ones, no luck on the bass. I have had luck with them on Yellowtail when they are zoned in on smaller baits.

Nice work!
