lo n slo

H2O Express rain suit for cold weather and Frogg Toggs for the hot weather.

me and my work partner (John “Mudfoot” ?) finished up a big job yesterday and finally had a good weekday off to fish. we caught over 40 spots with a few doubles mixed in

it’s offset shank for me ?

road runner

you ain’t trying to put a 1 7/8” hitch on a 2” ball are you?

heck yeah!

we caught over 30 spots again today amid the low clouds and a light SE breeze. it was a shame we had to leave.

caught 36 spotted bass this morning and zero largemouth. but spots like these put up one heck of a fight!

i won’t leave home without mine

my kinda guy ?

here i am, thinking this thread was gonna be about the mental impact on the fisherman, namely me, as i did this just yesterday. we had a cold front sweeping through yesterday morning but i thought i could squeeze in 4 or 5 hours before the big NW wind blew in. i had 8 of the tiniest spotted bass you’ll ever see by 9 am. ok, not the best day but i’m catching fish and it never really rained that much. then the mighty winds came and it came hard. i managed to fish on, seeking sheltered areas, but the next 3 hours yielded only strikes and no fish. that, and the wind, had me a bit frustrated, so i decided to hit one more secondary point before putting her on the trailer. suddenly, i had one pick up my lizard in 18 fow and was swimming off with it. oh boy!!!! i reeled down on her and swung upwards with a BASS ELITE SERIES hookset and broke my InvisX at the knot. i threw my rod down, yanked up the trolling motor, and buried the throttle back to the ramp. ? the end. negative impact indeed

there is a brush pile in 20’ of water that lies offshore of a rocky island on a small lake near me and i seem to be the only one paying it any attention. it always seems to be holding spotted bass, but it also yields some heavy largemouth, especially from Memorial Day on towards the 4th of July. i caught an 11 lb striper there last summer too....on a 5” lizard! i’ll position my little johnny in 30 fow, line up with some trees and throw a texas rig towards the bank, let it sink, and ease her though the limbs. the anticipation is maddening.

the 7’ MH Shock is my favorite ?

this

me and my grandson caught 7 spotties from the dock, before the rain set it in, on the first day of spring break ?

?

? lol agreed, mine is only 18” but the wife says it’s better than nothing ?

when i’m alone i’ll always place my bass on top of a fish ruler if i chose to take a picture

yes, but there isn’t an “L” in mine, just the M and the F. ?

i slay all the little fish and leave only the giants for the real anglers because that’s the kinda guy i am

i love a good pair of high top boots

?

?

it’s alot better than the alternative
