Dwight Hottle

Two buddies Drobny & Mackey & I hit the water today before the big blow coming tomorrow. Mackey's best pair of fish. The night before while playing poker & drinking beer his best pair was trips as a minimum. Needless to say he won most of the money.

I like owners the best.

Lake Erie on a nice day.

Nice fish George.

I wish that said handcrafted for Dwight Hottle !

He is from Canada and they call walleye pickerel.

Shimano just launched a new website today. The core is included under low profile reels. http://fish.shimano.com/content/sac-fish/en/home/products/fishing-reels/baitcast.html

If your marking fish on the bottom in 15 fow or deeper use a blade bait or jigging spoon fished vertically like Crestliner suggested. If you want to fish for suspened fish try a crankbait or jerkbait with loud rattles & bright colors & fish it fast. It would not hurt to get hold of Clayton (bluebasser) for his insight about dirty water smallies in Kansas.

Shot their wad last night. 10 runs unanswered is never good.

They work really well especially for shallow applications.

Looking good.

Who you calling short?

Your buddy was my buddy too. http://www.bassresource.com/bass-fishing-forums/topic/146408-fall-basin/

Another pair.

I think that one went 7 something.

Went out this Monday after getting a heads up from Lucky Craft Man who was already on the water. I tried cranks & jerkbaits but the fishing was slow. Steve was having good luck with jigging spoons so I tried the old silver buddy. My buddy produced the better fish. Here is a pic of the best one.

Silver buddy pair from Monday.

Great minds think alike. WTG A-Jay.

Congrats on your new PB.

Imagine my distress when you land a 7lb-7oz smallie on that thing. The NRX is going for a swim.

I'm pulling the plug. Lights out. We have run the course. We are done. Time to change the subject. Sayonara.

Sounds like you are busting your hump to get where you want to be. Congrats for that. Hard work always pays off.

My dad when he was still alive. My favorite persons to fish with are guys that share the same level of intensity as I do. The more passionate they are about fishing the better. That way we all learn from each other.

Happy B-day Wayne. Obviously the beard brings you good luck.

I have to say you handled it well. The smaller fish are always the worst ones to handle. If you can't get a good hold on them use a lip lock for removing trebles.
