  • About Me
    I fish local rivers, ponds, and creeks for smallies, LM, pike, and whatever else wants to bite my lure. Preferred fishing method is a spinning reel with some sort of plastic finnese rig. Usually a Texas rigged senko. But I have a soft spot for topwater blow-ups.
    I also enjoy making hard body lures in my spare time.

  1. Why does it make a better looking boat than a truck?
  2. Got in an order of soft plastics from one of my favorite small time bait makers.
  3. Anyone one of you guys who launch and fish from proper bass boats. I discovered that while I'm an old hand with paddles or oars, trying to steer with an outboard has me literally going in circles.
  4. I discovered today that I own 12 John Denver albums on vinyl. I honestly didn't know I was that big a fan.
  5. Finally almost settled into our new apartment. Got around to getting almost all the books on shelves.
  6. I've never used it, but I don't really think I care one way or another. If it's not having a negative impact on fish populations, I'm happy people can enjoy fishing using it. I prefer not to. (I think. Like I said, I've never actually used it.) But I don't want another screen in my life, especially not when I'm outdoors enjoying creation. I'm a fish and let fish kinda guy.
  7. My opportunities to go bass fishing have been rare and difficult. Water is low, everything is changing, fish are acting different, and I haven't had the time to invest on the water figuring them out. But I did manage a very nice pike last night.
  8. Praying for you today.
  9. Managed to grab a couple hours at the pond today. Only caught one bass on my last cast, but it felt good get my hook into a fish again.
  10. Haven't been fishing in what feels like ages. I think it's technically been something like a week. I just haven't had the energy for early mornings lately, and no time for evenings after work. Sure is great to see everyone else's fish though.
  11. This last week has been a bit slow. I haven't been able to make it out onto the water for any longer than an hour at a time, and haven't caught anything substantial. I did get jump scared by a raccoon who snuck up behind me, and stood up with his front paws on my leg like he was begging for snacks or something. I would have taken a picture, but I shouted because I was startled which in turn startled him, and he waddled away in disgust. 😆 Anyways, here are this week's dinks:
  12. @TnRiver46 looks like a ton of fun! Thanks for sharing!!
  13. That sucks, bro. I'm sorry. I had a day like that last year. I'm sure my fish weren't near as big as yours were, but they all skunked me in a similar way, including one that at the time would have been a PB. I feel your pain. You'll get em next time. @ol'crickety, you definitely loose more fish, but you also land more fish. And you do it in very difficult waters to fish. My hook-up to landing ratio is so good because I don't fish major obstructions and difficult cover like you do. I remember not that long ago you mentioned you had an "average" day, and boated 40 fish. For most of us, that's a day we can only dream about.
