Back at Pelican Lake in northern Minnesota for my annual trip. Weather is tough at times with wind and rain. Still getting some nice chunks on jigs, senkos, drop shot and my trusty craw bait. Not much action as yet for smallies though and too windy for topwater so far. We really can’t complain when ...

Couple nice four pound plus LMB chunks from Pelican Lake, Minnesota. Only disappointment of the trip is the lack of nice smallies that we got in previous years. Had a lot of fun the last two evenings on topwater action with the rat and the grasshopper.

Needed to try something different and headed up to Lake Miramar with my kayak this morning. It was foggy for a bit and it may be a little soon for topwater as I talked to a local who seems to be there almost every time I go there.
I did get a bass on a small jerkbait, but after a while of trying ...

After reading Mr. Vinny's glowing report on Miramar yesterday, guess where I went today...yep, Murray! It started out good with a couple topwater fish, but within 10 minutes they were gone! I heard that the day before the busters were at the other end of the lake, so I kicked all the way across the ...

Had not planned to go fishing today so I ate breakfast and took care of just a few things around the house and then ended up in the garage.

Returned to the SD River this morning after landing 2 bass on 3 bites 3 days ago. It was almost "Deja vu" only this time I got 4 bites and landed 3 bass. Started by catching a tiny bass like last time, then landed one slightly bigger and then one slightly bigger than the last one. None were what ...

Maybe getting out there is why you always catch fish as opposed to occasional anglers like myself. Always like your entertaining reports.

It looks like you did quite well on your occasional trip to Minnesota and your recent Barrett trip and know you will have great trip the next lake you hit ...

Wow, you’re drinking again and even before 8:30 AM. So sad.

He's Back =D Congratulations on the first SMB! Now you know how much harder they fight pound for pound. Keep live it up my man!

Great report glad you’re having fun on vacation and back on the water again. Congratulations on your first Smallie! I bet that was exciting. It must be pretty peaceful fishing early in the morning like that and getting off the water before you melt.
Thanks for sharing and soon you’ll be back in

Been wondering when we would hear from you! Looks like fun! Fished Many hot days in Mohave when we go out to play in the water. Caught stripers on bread chummed with cheese puffs. I meant cheese it's.

1 fish, no matter what size, is infinitely better than no fish at all!
