The small stuff works but if you want the Big Girls, throw them some meat. The Females will suck down Crawdads to get calcium for their eggs, mostly though, they will eat any meal that is easy to catch. A minimum of effort. They are slowed down by the cool water. If you were to dive down(I have) and ...

Thanks for the update. I’ll give that a try!

Killin' em in the dead of winter. I have some very similar jigs that I've been meaning to try out there.

Big fish hunting is a totally different mind set. You have to be willing to go out and not get bites, or maybe only one or two bites in a day. For me, I just have fun catching fish, big or small. I just enjoy figuring out the bite and setting the hook into a fish.

It takes a certain type of ...

Keitech makes some pretty good finesse jigs. I wish they made a bulkier jig, because even the 1/2 ounce models seem to be a morsel compared to other jigs out there that look like mops.

Looks like a lot of fun!

Nice job way to go! Congrats to your buddy for getting the skunk off the craft!

Nice job out there Dannicus!
It was fun talking to you this morning and glad you and your buddy Randy got some quality fish.
I am going to ditch my boat and try to secretly follow you around the lake in my kayak...ha ha
Anyway, I wasted too much time trying to find bass in really deep water among ...

Nice meeting you yesterday. Nice job out there.

That sounds fun!
I can only imagine me in a float tube.......are they easy to use
and do fish ever bite your feet Paul?

Made a trip on Sunday morning to my favorite local body of water. Was pleased to see the water level a couple feet higher on account of recent rain. Hopefully some more will bring that water level back up.

It was 3 days after the full moon and we had some favorable eastbound wind and a few warmer ...

You are sure putting in the time on the water. Keep it up and glad you slayed them!!

Makes me want to get out there. Damn work! Time to play hookie=)
Good work!

Solid fish! Nice job!

Very nice! What did they bite on? I was thinking of tubing murray next week

I do have a bunch of dads left from the trip. I think I'll take them to Hodges on Sunday. I don't want them to go to waste. Maybe do a Part 2 Video?

Bait fishing is an art form for sure! I think it's funny when people look down on others for it. It is not nearly as easy as it appears. Like fishing shiners and getting them to go where you want. For that I just use a Jedi mind control technique, but everyone has their own ways.


Maybe I will ...

Took a trip to my favorite local body of water. Was pleasantly surprised to see the water level up 10-12’ from my last visit. Hopefully the next big storm brings it up even more. It’s about 1/3 of the way back to last spring’s water level by my estimation.

It was COLD (30s at the water line at 6 ...

After waking up and relocating my new fish finder from the bow to the console I decided to give it a spin at El Cap which has been my nemesis the last few trips there. Fished from 1-5pm. Wind had already picked up so it was fun trying to work a spot on my crappy trolling motor(can’t wait til I can ...
