Nice job out there Dannicus !
You sure pulled in a nice variety of fish today and that "cool" little crank bait you shared with us on a recent post is pretty amazing!
That little thing is worth its weight in gold the way the fish are attacking it. I bet you had a blast out there getting some ...

Back here at Pelican Lake in northern Minnesota with my buddy Scott for our annual angling extravaganza. The first day started out cold and windy but the afternoon was nice along with the fishing. We got about 45 largemouths and smallmouths between us with most of them nice three pound chunks ...

Way to go on the BFS pursuit of largemouth bass! Back in the day I always wanted a bait caster that would allow me to throw 4 and 6 lb. test, without the line getting in gap between the spool and frame of the reel. Nice to see they figured that out. Going to have to look into it and maybe ditch the ...

Lest go !

Love the little Evergreen cranks!

Rigged up a number of rods with baits and got my boat ready for a morning adventure to Murray. Packed my lunch and drinks and I
was on my way. I was daydreaming hoping for some top water action and then suddenly reality hit. OMG!... I totally spaced and
forgot today is the second Tuesday of the ...

That bass looks like it been going to the gym=)

Unfortunately, the lake closures will only get worse! The Mayor and City Council have discovered that they can screw the fisherman and save the money for their pet projects..the homeless and the illegal aliens.

That's a pretty fish...did you get a weight on her? Let me guess..3.5....??

Fish was really healthy for its size and had a fat belly…… anyway not sure about the weight. To be safe I’ll guess a little over three. Highlight was not getting skunked after a bad start to the day.

Who among us hasn’t been halfway down the proverbial El Monte Road on the wrong day and said “Oh Sh**!! Good job as always VB!

I literally made the same mistake brother, but pivoted and headed to El Cap. Nice fatty you caught there!


I made this mistake shortly after the city decided to close Murray the second Tuesday of the month. I never made
the mistake since because I always knew to not go to Murray that day. I ...

That would sure be a bummer heading to El Cap and realizing it was closed. I know me and think I would say at least 20, I mean 30
or more words than "Oh Sh**! :-)

That El Monte road never seems to end the older I get.
Years ago it seemed shorter...ha ha

Well fortunately San V was open so ...

You did good Man. Those Crappie remind me of Crappie fishing in AZ. Despite the common belief that Crappie only hit minnows, your pictures prove that Crappie will hit almost anything including crankbaits, Jerkbaits, spinner baits, and senkos. Your success inspires me to fish for those Crappies again ...

Those panfish are slabaroonies!!

Awesome morning bite... haven't hit otay since last year may have to go this week

Sunfish on sunfish crime

Plenty of skeeters and plenty of pike.

Truly awesome post Thank you
