Catt, first of all, they haven't moved Toledo Bend. It is still there, I was able to find my trailer on Yocum after three or four months absents. Looked a little different with all the grass, weeds, and bushes. With Dixie Youth All-Stars and travel ball over, I promised my twelve year old grandson and two of his friends ,I would take them to the lake for a week of some swimming, knee boarding, bream fishing, and trying to learn to ski! I was able to get away one night with my grandson for his first night bass fishing Monday July 7, between 7:30 pm to midnight. Fished main lake points at Wilson's creek in fifteen feet, both directions, to deep and then shallow, found them in shallow. With this being his first night fishing experience there where some bad moments, bird's nests, mosquitoes, can't see, I'm hungry, I need to pee, setting hook on grass bits, etc. Great learning experience for him. The young fella was not able to land one, but, hung in there like a trooper (proud papi). I was able to catch, 1 ea. 4 1/2 lber, 3 ea. 2lbers. Caught fish on Zoom 6" G-tail in Junebug, using 4/0 straight shank round bend hooks as recommended by the master for better hook ups. Worked!!!! Thanks. Great week with grandson and friends. Making many memories for them and especially for me. Mguidroz, I owe you a fishing trip, preferably at night, will be getting in touch with you

Use split shot with wacky trick worm and fluke. Get better casting and control of bait.

Catt, always taken with appreciation. My learning experience is short, being an inexperienced fisherman of bass at the age of 67. I remember your quote ,fishing is easy, catching is what is hard. Again Catt, thank you for doing what you do. It is speeding up the learning process for me.

Lamham3, flip a coin, they are both fantastic reels. You are going to get both eventually.

No, mh, should be sufficient

Catt, I finally made a trip, it had been since Feb 10 ,( missing the spawn). After a bout with A-Fib and having to spend a month training America's finest at Fort Polk ,I was able to get out with my brother ,who I don't see much. We fished on May 27,28,and 29th. It seems when he comes it is the worst weather and fishing conditions. In between thunder storms and windy condition we were able to get out for a few hours. Tried to get on main lake points from Kites to Boone"s Point on Louisiana side Caught 6 small fish for the three days, one hell of a fishing report.

Pearl white zoom fluke hooked 1/3 from the tail (head down) looks like it is eating eggs.

Watermelon red for all applications.

That's a 10 lber man. Congrates on PB.

This is not a kid call him "sir". I could do 350# in high school and I thought that was good.

Welcome!

Basseditor, you need to try some plastics next time.

Academy's H2O does the trick for me.

Looks good to me. Anyone would be proud of these selections.

Seen 2 procrafts go through 4 motors, still solid as a rock . You can not go wrong with procraft. 1995 and 1996 models.
