      Thanks Frank! I know YOU know what it's like when you're fishing for bass and end up with a big, toothy predator on the end of your line. A few extra minutes ...more are required to make sure you leave with all your fingers...and your lure!

      Nice, Jeff. I bet it took a while to land it.

    Found the breaking point of a bamboo rod tip with this one. SLAMMED IT!

      musta been a different kind of rush when the rod broke!
    2. Jeff B 0
      Thanks Jim. What a rush!
    3. Jeff B 0
      Thanks Rick. I don't necessarily look at the rod breaking as a bad thing. What I do see is NEW GEAR in my future!

      If I’m fishing off sure anyone have any idea where I need to go? Thinking about going tomorrow evening and night
    3. Jeff B 0
      Thanks Rick. Next to Largemouths, Crappie are becoming a favorite to fish for!

    Beautiful weather but no luck with Bass or Crappie. Switched gears and caught 10 - 15 Bluegill. There are times you just can't beat fishing with a worm and a ...more bobber! 😁

      I came home, turned on the TV to see a Bassmasters Tourney, they actually stock Bass in Texas, are there any lakes like that here?
    2. Mark Merlin 0
      Nothing today for me. In two days I talked to 6 or so other Anglers, only one caught a decent Largemouth. This isnt the lake to fish for big Bass.
    3. Jeff B 0
      Well, if they're NOT at the South Shore they HAVE TO BE at the North Shore...lol. Can't wait to see all your pics tomorrow! Good luck and be safe gents.
    4. Shawn Bobb 0
      I’ll be on the pontoon north shore
    5. Mark Merlin 0
      I was there all morning and caught 2 of those and that's it. I went South Shore today, going North Shore tomorrow.
    6. Jeff B 0
      Shawn...There's PLENTY to go around!
    7. Shawn Bobb 0
      don’t catch them all. I’ll be there tomorrow

    WINDY day on the lake in the kayak today. So windy I had to pop a dramamine and use an anchor for the first time. Very challenging but still fun to get out there!

    1st time setting out to fish exclusively for crappie. Filled the stringer with the largest being just shy of 13" and a weight of 1.01 lbs. BEAUTIFUL day!
