Just completely unwilling to be a good person. Not only that, the guy was still bobbing around in the waves while we were trying to recover his boat (he had a lifevest on but still). He could have moved out of the way, recovered the other boater onto his boat while he was waiting, and still been right there when the other guy got back. It was really frustrating but I was just glad the guy was okay and we were able to recover most of his stuff for him. I am old enough and have moved enough in my life to be considered a witch or old gypsy. Therefore, I place a curse on the guy in the bass boat and it shall be his fate to catch only freshwater drum and clams. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super User gimruis Posted June 17 Super User Share Posted June 17 No offense to @Bluebasser86, but there's usually 2 sides to a story. We've only heard one of them. I would never doubt his morals or willing ness to help someone, but maybe there's a reason someone made the decision they did. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pat Brown Posted June 17 Share Posted June 17 Got out at night and fished some good looking stuff while the sun was setting and kept missing bites. Waited til the sun was down and put a weightless mag speed worm out there and caught this gorgeous 6 lber! Saw some moccasin skin that was fresh and wet by the dock. Jake picked up a little one on the blue fox inline at the pond earlier in the afternoon! Missed a giant on the Scum Frog but didn't miss this little guy before work this morning: Going out tonight - hopefully find a big one that wants to play. Going to the coast for red fish this week - very excited for that! 21 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluegills go all summer long again and again I agree, everything i have read on bluegills is they spawn all summer, they may move to another area of the lake to get away from summer weed growth to get down and dirty. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bp_fowler Posted June 18 Share Posted June 18 Since we’re dealing with higher than normal temperatures this week I decided it would be a good time to try out some night fishing. I went out from 10 pm until about 2:30 am. We had t-storms roll through earlier that evening. Temps were still in the low 70s, sky was clear and the moon was out. I started out throwing the buzz bait but my topwater woes continue as I had 4 blowups or swirls under the bait but no fish got the hook. Switched to the chatterbait and immediately started catching a handful of dinks about the size of the one pictured below. (Sorry for the poor picture quality) As I moved down the bank I casted tight to the shoreline and caught this one which was my best of the night. It was sitting in about 6-8 inches of water about five feet in front of me. That spot seemed to die down after that so I left and stopped at the Crappie Hole on my way home. I decided to the buzz bait another go and got a bite on my first cast but the fish jumped and shook it free. I went down to the other end where the creeks feeds into the pond and began casting across the mouth where I caught my final fish, again dirt shallow and right in front of where I was standing on the bank. 19 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On my way home from fishing this morning, I had a bear mama and cub cross the road in front of me. That's the way to see a mama bear, inside a steel box! 3 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't caught one that big for many, many years. I also like the range of your photo compositions. You have a good eye for that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super User Bird Posted June 18 Super User Share Posted June 18 Got on the water early and got off before the heat wave could damage brain cells. My cousin caught a few nice ones on a chatterbait. I could only manage small ones on a Bass assassin in grass. Blue bird skies, water temp 81*. 22 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
