You cant tell me that at $20+ per fisherman that they cannot afford to leave the lakes open! Go back to the Iron Ranger system on week days that was used in the past> We always get screwed!

I cant even look at that picture!

When I was 11 or 12 I was spending the summer at my grandparents property in Oregon. Would spend the day from sun up to sundown fishing up and down the river behind their house. The river held massive crawfish and during slow times of the day I would mess around ...

Pretty soon we are going to have to go to Yuma if we want to launch a boat!

That'll be a hell of a story on your BFS gear!

For me, the fun in bass fishing, or fishing in general, is figuring out the bite. Some days I can do it, some days the bass win. To me, that is the best part of fishing. Trying to figure out the puzzle each time on the water.

While I understand FFS is viewed by many as just another tool. To me it ...

Got out in the water about 6:30 and there were about 5 trailers in the lot. Word must have gotten out that the lake was still launchable because by about 9:00 there were boats on almost every bit of exposed rock on the lake!

Caught 10 today. Biggest was just over 3lbs and best five probably went ...

Here is a pic of, what used to be, Boulder Bay and the depth in the middle of the lake outside of it.

Very pretty fish!

Part of the love I have for fishing is the fact that I'm always learning. If I said that I would rather rely on what I've learned in the past, and no longer was interested in learning, my next step would to sell all my gear. ;-)


That's the exact part that I love about fishing, always learning ...

Fished it today and the launching was no issue

Had a really fun day today out there. Not many boats and the fish are chewing! It’s really sad that it’s going to be shut down soon!

Put 14 bass and an ambitious bluegill in the boat today. All but one on power fishing techniques. Finally got my first Neko Rig fish which was nice.

Gunfish ...

Surprisingly I actually came across several bed fish and a couple of pairs still rubbing and getting ready to spawn.

Topwater first thing around the rocks!

It’s going to suck whenever it closes down but it would be awesome to get a couple more weeks out of it at least.

Glad to see you guys got on em today. I stayed out front for most of the day yesterday and there weren’t many boats out there. Seemed like everyone was running to the breaking fish in the North End.

I got a 21.2 blue out there on a lipless crankbait. Hell of a fight but o kind of figured after it ...

Love the basic old school hand to hand combat style of fishing. None of this FFS crap!

We are in Helena Mt for the next week and a half for my son’s wedding. Staying at our future in laws cabin right on the Missouri River. Talk about gorgeous and serene!

Got in late yesterday and my son wanted to take me down for a short evening session just casting from the dock. Managed one ...

With the wedding stuff over, our vacation can finally begin. Got on the water with my son for a couple of hours this morning. Absolutely gorgeous landscape to fish in. Not a person or building in sight. Eagles flying overhead and the trout were willing to play. I got 4, lost two and missed several ...

Finally got back out on the water again ( I really hate you guys that get to fish so often! 😝). Lake was packed! Had to have been at least one club tournament if not two going on.

Had really no idea what to expect except for the recent reports from here. Started out throwing a frog and missed a ...

Awesome fish! Congratulations!

Heck of a fish! Congrats!
