NIce work Vinny.

Got out a little later yesterday. Chuck and Steve were already out there. Water temp dropped a bit, started the day around 75F at the surface, air was a touch chilly, maybe low 50s F. Slight wind from mostly east. Went over to Becky's cove and pounded the shoreline with topwater to minimal response ...

If they keep taking water out, we might go shopping for all the lost lures. I swear that lake has more of my tackle than any.

Hey Shawn, sorry I missed you out there. It was nice to meet you all last week.

It does seem like the wind peaks around lunchtime and then it's better in the afternoon. I think you are correct about the baitfish. I see small numbers of 1-2" shad in the shallows, but failed to locate any major bait ...

Hi, nice report. It does seem like the dinks are the dominant catch. Last week, I found fish suspended over no structure and not relating to bait balls, which were also hard to find. I think there's something going on with the combination of odd weather ( for this time of year ) the clarity of the ...

outstanding work! It's hard to not do the things that are working and try something else, but you sure showed it does pay off.

Vinny, Chuck and I have both had a lot of fun with them, he gave me one to use last year and it's been producing. There's also the Megabass I-wing and the inexpensive Heddon Crawler, which I have also been very happy with.

Nice report John, sorry I didn't see you guys out there today.

Got out a little later today, since the bite in the dark hasn't been that strong and sleeping in seems like a good thing. Air was 74F, Water was 78F. Light wind coming easterly. Played about in Wilson's creek and didn't have much topwater success. Managed to lose a pompadour lure though. That's two ...

I need to see proof that you didn’t melt. Just kidding …nice job out there. Just the fact that you’re out there fishing in this type of weather proves you’re a bass fishing stud. I was once like you, but now if it’s gonna be hot, even if I go early, just knowing that I have to leave really early ...

Super psyched about getting on the lake, Big D meet you on my last outting and then ended up fishing with your co-worker and his kids and they were slaying them nothing cooler than frothing groms. is the gate opening times the same or have they changed it for this last month


Hi, I think Jose ...

Hi Chris, it was one of my favorite days on the water this year also. It was almost like we were on a vacation at some fishing destination. I guess, actually we were.

You are definitely a master with the jigs. It's fun to watch you work them.

Great job finding a pattern and having fun with it!

Nice report and it was so funny when you cast the lizard in the middle of the lake, announcing that it was the most unlikely place to get a fish and then your pole bent over and you got that fatty in the first picture. It was a fun day yesterday. It was also pretty cool to watch that osprey nail ...

Got out on the water a little later. Steve had already gone and Chuck was loaded up and ready to go when I got to the parking lot. Much cooler yesterday morning. Actually needed the pullover. Light wind from the east with occasional breezes. The water was down to 75F at the surface. I headed to ...

We might have a contest for most biggest lure catching the smallest bass. Anyone can catch those big ones. ahahhaa

That video of the bobcat you had was really amazing. I can't wait to try the leeches you gave me.

Vinny, come out there with us. It's an easy launch for a kayak and the fishing is great, but like you said there's a lot of great people who fish there.

I'll just add to John's post, since I didn't get around to posting. I did have good success on Saturday, but I went a bit rogue for me, and tied ...

Great story and nice fish. Good that you stuck with it, a 5 pounder is a great anti-skunk method.

That's a great morning and isn't fun to fish when it's cooler?
