Got out this morning at daylight while still dealing with the remnants of the latest storm. Light drizzle, extremely foggy so boat never saw plane all day. We caught smallmouth, largemouth and a Walleye.......deep clear lake in WV.

@12poundbass Miami vs Tennessee wasn't dull ?.......I detect sarcasm. Miami literally looked like a highschool team and " Snoop " Huntley couldn't put a football in a swimming pool. 👍

@12poundbass Bills will be fine. NE, Miami and the Jets all look like bottom feeders in AFC East thus far. Josh Allen is a top tier QB as well.

With that username your team won and lost last night 😅. Yes that was a demolition by Baltimore, wow.

Welcome to the forum Jason

Yes I get asked all the time by non-fishermam if I keep all my fish. Wife and I both love fish but I only keep a small percentage of them. By the way, Largemouth bass caught out of clean clear lakes are a delicacy so are spotted bass.

Several members on this site claimed September can be a very slow month. I paid mind to it as I fished quite a bit this month. Have yet to put more than 3 fish in the boat fishing 5-6 hrs. Hang in there.

Idk, it's a reaction bait, the fish don't have a lot time to inspect materials.

Was under the impression that Dak was the highest paid QB at 60 mil per year.

I think drop-shot would be a great way to start. I believe every worm I throw on a drop-shot is a flat side, mainly Robo and Zoom .

Yes still being the same calendar year is understandable. I've seen threads that exceeded 10 years resurrected 😄

Camera has been out for over a month and this looks like the only shooter on my property. One other 10 pt that's wider but needs another year.

Before I got my prescription sunglasses I kept several pairs of reading glasses on the boat. I couldn't even tie an over hand knot without some kind of visual aid.

Best way to prevent flats is stay away from Pennsylvania 😁......I know.

Not to derail the thread but we have lots of Heron and Loons in the Lakes I fish. I physically watch them eat their share of fish.

I don't believe Beavers eat fish as I don't believe Deer eat meat....... reports misrepresent. Beavers aren't predators and swift swimmers like otters......wood, bark is their food source.

A beaver hut is a guaranteed bass or two.

Never knew it was a thing until this thread. Never had and probably to late to add something else to remember 😉

I have no lack of fishing partners but still enjoy fishing alone if I can keep my mouth shut. Wife goes often with a book.

Got out in light rain today, no wind. Caught only 3 bass but lost a really good one on a Zara Spook. Did put another Snakehead in the live well though.

September has been brutal here for effort per bass. Fished yesterday for 5 hrs for 2 bass, embarrassing. Starting to not like September......oh 63 .

My expense is mainly fuel and wear and tear. I've got over 6000 miles of towing the boat in 2024 and have several more trips planned until deer season. I buy tackle in bulk so I'm good for a couple of years in that department.

It happens. I throw a ton of wacky worms on 1/16 VMC heads and where I get in trouble is trying to manage this technique in wind. Can usually save a deep hooked fish with wire cutters, cut off the barb and twist the hook out with long nose pliers. Both tools are a must. If the fish can't be saved it goes to the frying pan 🥘

I've never kept a log and many times forget my phone for pics, guess the excitement of fishing. 😂 I do keep a round about total in my head of catches and always remember what part of a lake is most productive. Love seeing fish reports of others catches.
