Have done this and it does work especislly over weeds. Problem is that the bass take the hook deep because of the delay in feeling the strike because of the float

Know a couple that took a guided trip there. They loved it. Very isolated . Don't think they fished it though

Girls had to wear dresses or skirts and no patent leather shoes so you couldnt see up their skirts. Different times.

Me too

Have caught a lot of bass on trigged black/blackchart zoom lizards year long. A confidence bait for me

77 going on 78. I fish mostly small lakes ponds thet are very deserted. I work out 4 t0 5 times per week to maintain strength and balance. I now fish from a 14 foot fiberglass boat where I can set or easily walk around inside the boat. My trailer is a tilt trailer with rollers instead of bunks. Also installed a electric winch with remote to launch and retrieve the boat. Can launch and retrieve with only trailer wheels on shore with 4wheel truck. Very few ramps where I fish. Also carry extra clothes, battery, first aid supplies and make sure loved ones know where I am.

Good luck. Had both eyes done without issues. Also a cornea transplant where I had to lay on my back for five days during recovery. Thant was hard. and successful.

empty coffee can with plastic lid. Can stay in boat and rinse out later. Always in the boat.

2nd trolling motor used as a rudder is the best solution. You can buy a bullnose rudder to clamp to the the rear motor which greatly improve steering . I always removed the rear motor when pulling tje trailer. Good little boats for pond fishing. You can even load the boat with the wheels on the edge of the water.

Butt seat works great. You can buy one with a curve towards the rear that will help you have more leg room between the seat and the pedal. Fished out of one on ponds for many years

Welcome and enjoy

Started fishing in the Sierra Nevadas at about 10 yoa with my Dad. Later as a teenager we would study topo maps of high mountain lakes and backpack into them. Very remote and beautiful. Sometimes the trout fishing was great and others suffered ice fish kills due to being shallow. Some of my fondest memories. 77 now and I wonder if those same isolated spots are pristine because of population growth in CA. Love fishing remote creeks and rivers here in TX

Happy Birthday, Keep up the inspiration

Welcome. I live in Bell County close to the Fort. Think the high water will kill much of the hydrilla and it will take some time to grow back. The fishing at the lake is very different without it. Have seen the lake flood 2 or 3 times.

went through 2 in five years and moved to Dallas

77 and sold my bass boat with decks for that very reason. Now fish out of a boat I can stand in or sit. I mainly fish smaller bodies of water many on private property now. Still have good strength and work out out 5 times a week. Overboard on the trolling motor in winter by myself taught me a lesson. Have been blessed to live to old age in relative good healthNot all bad

My PaPa(Grand father) got me fishing young. Jason Lucas lit a fire for bass fishing

Been fishing for bluegills, crappie since I was in elementary school. In the summer of 1961 I visited relatives in Arkansas. I fished a stock tank with an old fashioned metal bomber crankbait which was green and caught my first bass on a artificial lure. Probably about 12 inches. Have kept fishing ever since.
-
At least it filled our lakes. We have had drought conditions for a long time. Will bw curious to see its effect on the hydrilla on Stillhouse Hollow. Before hydrilla it was clear rocky and the fishing was harder with smaller fish. With hydrilla there are many DD being caught.

Plastics for me because I catch fish and love finding ouut what that small tap is hiding
