Big water also adds a new dimension and a canoe is a risky maneuver there.

For sure. When I was young and immortal, I'd paddle big water like Lakes Michigan and Superior, but now I'm old and mortal.

Looking good brother.

Night ops are salt of the earth surreal.

The good bass are on the prowl

and the rest of the world just fades away.

Nicely done.

Thanks A-Jay. I agree 100% with your assessment of night ops. I'll be back after 'em tonight. I only took a bladed jig rod with me last night since I intended to spend most of my time chasing the slimers, but I had a bunch of short strikes on it. Some of them were HARD. Lots of bass in the stunted grass on the outside edges in 8-12. Tonight I'll take a second bass rod, and spend some time dragging some Ol Monsters around.

Low 80s mostly sunny winds 1-7 out of the east.

Scouted out a new pond today.

I think it’s going to be productive. Saw lots of bass swimming around, got a few to bite and fewer still to stay hooked. Biggest pictured below.

I love your adventures, @bp_fowler. Lots of us simply fish, but you adventure!

Today was just the recon. Tomorrow I have stuff to get done around the house.

Wednesday will be the real adventure since I’ll be carting the canoe back there. 2.83 miles one way but it looks to be worth the effort.

Whoa.

Here's a song that was written about you. They got your name wrong:
