Bass used to show anglers fishing the whole time and people whined about that too

My mom still has a Reel mower. It has a soothing sound

Depends on how fast the water is

I take a kayak and canoe every time we go to the ocean. I swear, tides shouldn’t be complicated but they are 😂. People that live there have no trouble at all but me? I just can’t hahaha

Glenn, We call that lake Kentucky ocean….. if the app says wind over 2 mph I’m not sure I can go 😂

It’s bright and sunny on this side of the mtn today

@Koz, nah I just lay them down in the boat

I probably posted in here somewhere but I filled my one at home up with dirt from down the hill inside my dog fence and it nearly killed me . I was toting it with this massive yellow bucket and once I filled it up with a shovel I couldn’t move it one inch so I had to fill it half full and carry it up the hill a few dozen times.

Conclusion after several years: dogwoods bloom earlier than bass spawn (unless it’s white bass) just reread this entire thread and the dogwood trees and nowhere near the bass spawn for 4 years in a row mtyh busted, if the dogwoods are blooming the bass will spawn a month (or more) later. Black bass are sunfish

Nice fish! Yes they follow and bite less often than they don’t

11 on a tough bite @T-Billy……… one day you may experience a tough bite but I doubt it ! I’ve had many tough bites where I caught negative 11

I was listening to a podcast with a retired game warden one time. He came up on a guy (in FLA of course) leaned up against a guardrail with his pants down bleeding . He was walking into his hunt spot and nature called. He dropped trousers and someone shot an arrow thru both his butt cheeks. Thought it was the white tail of a deer but it was tighty whities

I love mowing

18” minimum length to keep a smallmouth in almost all of East TN. I ain’t too proud to slice one up but I’d starve to death trying to catch enough. White bass is the way to go for legal keeper food

Even the bassmaster classic champ didn’t catch 5 keepers on the final day where I live so not much to worry about, it’s impossible! 😂. He did say he could see hundreds of them on the graph ignoring his lure. Maybe if we weed out the smart ones, some dumber ones that bite will come along ? Haha

Guy is 80 years old, probably can’t see Jack

A guy shot and killed a fellow hunter while turkey hunting in Northern California

My cousin was in a boat with a guy that got arrested for boating under the influence. His blood came back well below the legal limit. Do you think the police were punished? Heck no, swing and a miss.

get ur fish also said Scott would be disqualified and he wasn’t. I’d get my info elsewhere

I never store them vertically, seen at least 6-8 disappear that way. Luckily only one was mine 😂

Connell is a master of the FFS. And any other fishing tactic 😂

I had a weekend filled with fish in the canoe!!!!! Saturday I launched somewhere I had never laid eyes on, way up a river in the boonies about 1.5 hours south of my house. The wind was 15-18 mph and I knew I shouldn’t have brought the canoe but it’s a lot lighter than my wife’s kayak. Well I should have brought the kayak 😂. I got slammed into the shore by strong gusts a few times but there was always timber or something for me to grab onto when I hit. I decided against my better judgment and the judgement of a guy at the ramp, to start fishing downstream and paddle my way back up. Turned out it was a good decision because I could paddle back upstream against the current somewhat easily. I started off slow but eventually got 4-5 little LM on a purple jig worm with the st croix mojo bass trigon. I made my way down to and island that I decided would be my turn around spot and there was some fairly shallow water flats littered with logs I thought maybe some LM would be thinking about nesting in. Well I looked around and there were white bass rocketing thru the flats. I put on a paddle tail and started slaying them while I worked my way back upstream. I thought I had a ways to paddle back up to the ramp but it wasn’t nearly as far as i expected and I started having back spasms. I decided to get out and stretch my legs and cast a while from the mud. From my elevated position i could white bass swiping at my lure so I switched up to a tiny fluke on jig head and working it aggressively. This was the ticket. Once I unlocked that I stood there and caught a whole bunch . You can see my trying to shake out the back spasms in the video 😂 I hopped back in the boat and slowly made my way back to the ramp, catching white bass (and a couple yellow bass) non stop after I started working the bait more aggressively. Even got a white bass with the purple worm while reeling it back in to cast Today it rained all day so I ran errands and piddled around the house. By 5:45 it cleared off and I still had the canoe on my car so I hit the river at 6. I paddled around a huge island to a set of shoals I’ve been fishing for 2 weeks with zero bites. Well the fish finally arrived. I caught about 10 white bass shaking a zoom tiny fluke just under the surface. Then I put an original fluke on a nose hook on the mojo bass and it was bonkers. They were slamming it on the surface, I could watch them chase and eat it . Just teasing them with the bait, when it darted to the side they would flash and attack. Even got a bonus baby smallie. Off the water by 8, not a bad two hours with 20-25 fish. I did get soaked by another few rain storms but nothing crazy
