Oh man, I thought about going to El Cap today. Would have been fun. Nice work out there

Nice healthy bass…..looks like you had fun!!!
Thanks for sharing

Nice. I did the afternoon shift and ended with two landed, JB, and two Buzzbait misses.

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 ...

Sounds fun but I got a family commitment this weekend. A day off fishing means I still have a relationship.... although.... No I'd better do the family thing 😂


It was pretty fun! Can’t wait to go back to Hodges. Got a puncture in the tube (crankbait got spit close to me and the back hook ended ...

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 ...

Had some success in deeper water recently and especially on my last trip to Murray, so I decided to just fish deep and use reaction baits only. Despite the late start(looked like like rain this morning), I ventured out away from the shoreline even though it looked inviting. I searched for shad balls ...

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!

I just threw that bigger spoon on because I was working deep water for close to three hours and I just figured I’d try it for a while because I had nothing to lose. I really jazzed and lucky when a bass slammed it. When I got another bass on that bigger spoon, I realized that there is another option ...

Sounds like you have a lot of fun out there at El Cap.
Those are some very healthy bass and that BFS gear does it again.
You have been rocking with that gear at every lake.
Thanks for sharing and tight lines always buddy.

Nice bass

Great work at El Cap, those BFS presentations are really working for you.

I completely agree. I like the baitcaster and I think I can cast it farther than I can with spinning tackle. I like the control and I haven't yet felt like I caught a fish I couldn't handle on that rod. Biggest one has been a little over 5 pounds, so I guess I may find some trouble at some point.

Way to go!

Spring Fishing Lake Hodges: The Biggest Bass Of The Year! So Far…
https://youtu.be/R94YP6_E-gE

Good morning all, I managed to get out on Lake Hodges last week and found the lake completely socked in by fog, which is not uncommon for that lake. Met up with Early Release at the launch was hoping to ...

Putting in the work, reaping the rewards!

Another solid day on the water. Wind was pretty gnarley in the morning and afternoon. My son caught the first fish early on a crankbait and then the busters popped up and we had fun casting at them for a couple takers on small spoons. Once that died the trusty t-rig brush hog came out and finished ...

Hello all,

Had a nice day at Hodges this morning. Met with Pourboy in the parking lot and we headed out a little after 0600. Water temp was a toasty 67 F and wind was calm. Immediately Pourboy hooked a nice fish on a spinnerbait, I think it was one of his first couple casts. Then I got lucky too ...
