lo n slo

dodging tropical downpours here in the southeast but the fishing has been great here on Lake Norman. we caught 24 spots yesterday in the jon boat, and then 29 this morning in the Javelin. everything i have is waterlogged.

me and my friend decided to skip the gym and hit the lake this morning. i keep a 14’ jon boat at a small lake near the house. despite the threat of certain rain, the radar was clear at 6:30 and we were casting at 7:30. almost immediately it began a light rain. continued raining on and off for the next hour or so. we were hanging them and it was a nice break from the hot May sun. then i saw “it”, a gray wall of torrential, tropical rain about two hundred yards away and headed towards us. it was too late, no escape, neither covered boat slips, nor bridges, just the open sky. a run back to the dock would have been useless. so we fished on, laughing, cussing, and catching fish. i hollered a couple times as the water ran down the back of my shorts. my Skechers were swamped. it rained hard. after the great flood we fished on. thank you God for good friends, good fishing, and auto bilge....and for no lightning ?

has to be bad line. grab a spool of Big Game and give it a go.

big boy say he gonna go fishing one way or another!

wow man, hope you get some good news brother.

good deal ?

praying for y’all Blue. those people in PICU are absolutely awesome.

zoom worms and lizards for me in gp/chartreuse and june bug. love me some craw worms too.

same here, two times, and i’m almost 60 and live next to the largest man made reservoir in my state. sadly, enforcement takes money, plain and simple, and some states either don’t have it, or won’t commit. but the license fees continue to rise. two years ago my annual state freshwater license increased by 50%, and my boat registration fee doubled. the money is going somewhere.

looks like you’re gonna have to sell your house james ? good luck brother and let us know when you solve this one.

is the rear of the trailer digging in or is the hitch bottoming out?

deer camera and some personal protection

me too

no, but i have fed a few to some ospreys and one eagle

hanging out with big bill would kick some serious butt

i like to stroke a t rigged worm on deep structure. there’s nothing like watching your line sink, stop, then take off again.

i used to be the same way til they started cutting things off of me and i dont think they’re done either

i dont use braid either, probably a good thing. but i do use fluoro, usually 12 lb test.

i do this. sometimes (usually early in the season) i’ll forget to remove my finger before setting the hook, the line cuts into my finger, and it hurts.

well done ?

that thing is beautiful

git r done

move on til you find them
