I managed to get out on the water on Sunday with my buddy Brad. It’s always fun fishing with a great friend and we don’t get to do it nearly as often as we used to. But when we do, it’s like picking up where we left off last time, it’s always ...

You were spot on with the deeper bite. We enjoyed watching you two dissect that flat across from us, it produced for hours! We think the big one that finally broke Cynthia off after our Chinese fire drill was a hefty cat. Interesting that Brad got into one too.

Got on the water with Dave @4:30, like last week it was foggy but today was much colder, went to Becky’s Cove hoping to reproduce like last week but it was tough. The fog and cold weather seems to hold them down, didn’t really get much until the sun came out. Went back to Hauser and got a nice 4.13 ...

I’d swear Northerns put up a better fight than Floridas. Scrappy lil dudes.

Great job out there! Solid. I have a feeling you'll find more soon. Cheers!

Thanks...!!!!

Good job buddy. Late start as usual, only ‘landed’ 7, but biggest was w/ the frog. Same last week. Looking good for a great bite next few months.

Thank God for 65 pound braid, you don’t lose the fish down in the plants cause you can bring the plants up with them! :-)

Got to the lake at 6 today was a little chilly but not too bad.Parking however was a mess but was still able to get a decent spot. I usually hit the first cove but decided to head straight for hauser, flipped the edges of trees with no luck ... headed for the middle of the lake to deep crank but i ...

Been hitting the B pretty much all May with decent results. Today I took my cousin but we got too lazy to pump our tubes and decided to fish off the dock. It paid off pretty good. I got my share of crappie and this nice bass on a bluegill swimbait he got a decent one on a jig. It was pretty ...

100% ^^^ It can be hard to be disciplined to wait. Especially when they are chewing. Excitement can easily take over and when you hear or see the bite, it’s easy to instantly swing.


Well said the excitement gets the best of me everytime,
ima have to bend the hooks up a bit great advise

I did catch one. Chucking a crank in Hauser and right as I threw, one ...

I'm not really sure if I like having panoptix, I don't use it much, and when I do, it's not the favorite to see fish moving away from your lure.

I think that's the most helpful aspect of forward facing sonar.

We went through stages on FFS learning. The first few weeks, we'd giggle like ...

You may have to slow down to whack those inactive Bass. Most of my hits on the jig were in the 5 seconds I let it lay there before barely moving it.

Great pics and topwater day!! C might have you on the I think I can” award…Monday at Otay she caught literally a 1” bass fry, tiniest thing ever, biting a 4” senko. I have no idea what it was thinking but it cracked us up. I really F’d up not getting that pic for the ages.

Got out usual time, Jose let us in early, wasn’t too busy at Pigs, met our buddies Dave and Joe, headed to Hauser. Consistently good popper bite ALL day, even got one on a Rat, the biggest was 4lb on a frog! Braided line really got it done, did lose some big fish on barbless hook, but overall ...

45 degrees at 4am brr
Met up with Chuck and Dave at launch
Motored the Scadden to hauser, blue bird skies, wind came up mid morning
A few on the popper first thing but majority of my fish today was on 4 inch fluke, 10 inch black/blue power worm (El Salto Special) and black lizard working back out ...

Thanks for sharing! Looking forward to trying out the top water bite tomorrow.

Nice report bro looks like topwater should be picking up a lot more this month. That last picture is asking for a snake to be thrown
