fortscott isnt terribly far south of p town and if u get real brave hit up bonecreek just about 5 more miles south of fortscott but fortscott is usually good spring and fall on jerkbaits and shaky heads and spinnerbaits too and jigs and big worms and everything lol cranks bla bla its a good lake

imagine that i was next to the food table in this pic haha!

wow what did that one go 6 or 7 nice!

thanks and yup only keeper all day lol not what i had in mind for the fishing trip

well i borrowed a buddy's boat(bluebasser86) we went to melvern ks to catch some good smallies. my girlfriend hasnt ever been fishing to fish just watched me a few times but i knew this lake produced easy dinks so it allowed me to try it out. started off bad she was whippin me in numbers but as the day carried on the wind picked up. only suppose to be 8mp but i knew that was to good to be true. but it was close it was only 30mph winds lol. i tied on a 1.0 kvd crank and started killing the spots and largemouths. about noon she was ready to go. so we stayed another hour trying to snag so schooling gar. i ran down one last bank throwing the crank. it was a small crank so had to cast hard like most of u know. well she sat down in the passenger seat and i didnt see her well it was right in my casting lane and i rared back and backspooled like a B***h. i looked back and saw my crank stuck in the side of her head. i instantly was like holly crap dont move. so i cut my line and just knew we had to go to the hospital. i convenced her to let me cut the hook and cut the crank loose so i can see how bad it was. to see if i can save a trip to the ER. lucky me 4 out of the 6 hooks were stuck. but 3 werent bad they came right out. but the last one was barly past the barb and i told her to stop be if it hurt to bad and she didnt and i got it out picking at it with a strighten worm hook. after it was all over she was laughing and jokeing around. so i did to complaining that i had to put new hooks on my bait and that i had to put all new line on my reel cus she got in the way but she didnt think that was funny at all. so for my bday (today) she got me some new hooks lol. im just glad it was where it iwas it could of been a very bad day if it was anywhere else in her head.

well been talking to scrogg through pm and me and him are teaming up for the event the date and time works for me and are we planning on haveing a bbq or anything that involves food just wondering if thats allowed at that lake and its an idea if anything well thanks for throwing this together it nice to see area fishermen and different lakes!

its crazy to think how this bass lived so long and got to it plump size makes u with she could talk!

ITS A GOOD LAKE IN THE SPRING just sucks for tournys in the mid summer months

yeah i remember my first bass man iworked that walmart 1$ spinner bait really hard and it finally paid off and i was hooked congrats man keep it up and like ike says NEVER GIVE UP!

nothing to do with todays catch but had a question for ya. do u ever fish anything besides a jig? im assuming no lol! but just wondering if u did or not?

roger that!

i get some of that from work in my elbow and i wear a velcrow strap and it has a gell supported ball on it and it puts pressure in the right spot i guess cus i dont have trouble anymore fishing or work. only time i get worked up is flippin all day and setting pulling them threw trees and brush well hope u get in there for the fall bite for sure. they carry those straps at cvs or any pharmacy!

hmmmm yeah sounds like they could be a flordia strain bass that just shut down in stupid weather but no topwater bite i would go somewhere else lol jk man. well i would experiment with colors and maybe try some swimbaits what is the bait fish in there and stick to as close to that as u can man sorry i cant help that much but fishing is tough everywhere in the summer

well ive always caught my bigger fish on buzzbaits early and late maybe get out there really early and do some night fishing a couple hours before dawn ive done good in the hot summer months doing that at acouple of my local lakes. and maybe bigger bait help too like 10inch worms or big swimbaits help sorry i dont know the lake that well but weneed a little info on what u like to throw or tried. give me some more info and we might be able to help a little more! thanks man love the avitar

i want smallies in my courses ponds

nice man ive done the same for tjigs and shakyheads saves us alot of cash!

well thanks for clearing that up i did notice the scales where alot smaller then a buffalo after i posted. i saw that and was like well its to late to put my foot in my mouth but i was sure someone would clear it up lol sorry

i have a booyah clacker buzzbait that i caught my first musky on and it is wrecked but still keeping it for those reasons!

yea thats a buffalo im pretty sure thats what im talking about

well there is a thing called big head carp aka big head buffalo carp and there is a small mouth buffalo carp grey in color sounds like a carp hope this helps

nice!!! and i hope santa knows where bps and acadamy is not for the little lad but for me!

X2 and there is nothing ugly about it man idk what i would do if that jumped or what i would probably throw my rod in the water yelling "take it". all in all nice catch wish we had fish like that in ks

yeah see it quite a bit in ks notevery day but pretty frequent depending on the lakes u go to but i seem to hook up alot on swimbaits or alot on a spook but really fun for dybrids and whites too. went out a couple months ago the were almost hitting the boat lol

just tell me what to bring

cant believe no one has said dont eat fish before u go on a fishing trip its bad chee and i wouldnt say no drinking but i have fishing todo no time for drinking. and as for music did go with a friend and he was blaring country and i got my pb smally lol but didnt like that it was so loud. and for rules cast where u need to but dont be a dbag
