Fished Lone Star this Saturday with a couple friends, one of which caught his PB there a few days prior at 5 lbs 6 oz flipping a havoc fatty craw into the weeds. We came back and caught 30-40 dinks with only one worth weighing, but it was still fun. Also nice knowing there's at least one big girl in that lake.

Good fish. Good to see a nice healthy one

Haha yes!

Fished LaCygne this past weekend....that lake gets tough during the summer.  I did catch one good one on the dam on the old faithful 10 inch worm.  Also caught a FAT bluegill.  At least it was a skunking haha

La cygne wasn't very great to me either.

5 fish-

4 of em in the first 15 minutes on a chatterbait.

One two hours later on a 3.5" craw.

I fished Lacygne for a few hours Sunday morning.

I caught a couple decent fish but not what I was looking for. I got a 18,1/4" and a 17,3/4" I have no idea what they weighed they weren't big enough for me to get the scales out.

I also caught 3 Flathead including this one that went 8.8#

All 3 cats had Louse

Btw the first 2 pics are the same fish

New guy here and I blame my good pal and fishing buddy, conorsixtakc.

 

I'm a dedicated Walleye guy by default coming from Wisconsin, but enjoy nothing more than tussling with Bronzebacks, and now Largemouth. I fish Clinton almost everyday living in Lawrence, always targeting Walleye & Wiper, but have caught both really nice Largies and Smallies. Last year and early this season I had some super good trips to Coffee County and Melvern. Love those Brownies.

 

On Friday Clinton was a little too rough for me to want to deal with, so I took a buddy from TX out to Lone Star on a whim to see if I could get him on some fish. Took me a little to get used to finesse fishing again, but it didn't take long before I was having a blast.

 

My personal best came right as the sun went down. Man that was fun. Here's a little GoPro vid I put together from that evening. Yes, I did get a little excited once I saw that toad jump, my apologies haha.

 

Took the same buddy and conorsixtakc the following morning. Lots of dinks and the bite died by 11. Still a super fun little lake to get away to out here in Lawrence. Can't wait to try Perry soon.

Yes! Welcome Brian! Couldn't be happier to see my good buddy and future Clinton walleye guide posting on BR. You'll learn a lot from this super nice group of guys just like I have, as you slowly drift to the dark side  plus now we really have no excuse to not get in on the Fall get together at Perry 

Hey guys. I posted this in the tackle section but wondered if you knew what this was http://www.bassresource.com/bass-fishing-forums/topic/142171-what-is-this/#entry1582981

Regarding your Bass tournaments, whey do you rely on catch, measure and release to avert regulations stipulated in Kansas FisingRegulations Summary-2014, pg5, requiring tournament pemits and required equipment all bass tournaments. I don't know if you need to do all those things, but if it were me i'd check it out.

Should read.."why don't you rely on "

Caught one bluegill on a small swimbait on Prairie Lee. LOL Seen a ton of chad and bass mercing on topwater all night. Still fun tho. Nice lake. Gonna have to figure out how to manage that steep boat ramp. Someone might be writing a funny story about what they saw at the boat ramp tonight LOL

Heading out to James A. Reed tonight. Has anyone been out there lately? What's working? 

Fished Table Rock this past weekend. Caught numbers in the 30s. All spots. Near Baxter. Drop shot in 45 foot of water. Fish suspended in trees at 25'.

 

Tough fishing, but we got on 'em, and stayed on 'em.

 

Hit celebration park before picking girls up. T-Rig in weeds. That place smells terrible this time of year. Caught a dozen or so.

Caught my PB tonight at James A. Reed! Lil splitshot crig action.

 

For those of you wanting to do the weekly deal, we may possibly have to change the location of the very first one due to a possible change in the size limits on Douglas SL. KDWPT's website now has Douglas listed at 2 bass over 18". I've fished out there several times and caught 2 over 18" in all those trips. If we wanted to do it by length it could still work but if we're wanting to weigh fish it would make it tough. I'm planning on going out there sometime after work this week to check the signs by the ramp to see if I can confirm what the limits are, the states website has quite a few errors and it's always been a slot lake as long as I can remember. If anyone knows for sure let me know otherwise I'll be headed out there to confirm what it is. 

I checked Douglas last night, it's a 5 fish per person bag 13"-18" slot limit, so we'll be sticking with Douglas for the 7th. Fished for about 30 minutes and caught 2 that would have been short keepers. Water was nice and clear and 81 degrees. Looks like lots of vegetation along the banks right now that might produce a good frog bite   

Ugh! I have to miss the first one! Rehearsal dinner for sister in laws wedding.

Hitting gardner lake in about 4 hours. Any suggestions?

Well late notice but my back seat just came open for tonight. Haven't decided 100% where I'm going yet but I'll be leaving around 10pm and have to be home by 7:30 AM if anyone is interested.

Great post! I love to see someone doing some videos with a GoPro on local waters. A GoPro is second only to a bass boat on my list of desired toys!

Fished Jacomo last night from about 11-6. Bite was a little slow but caught some decent ones at least. Black and blue bladed jig and a 10" worm on a swinging football head was best and I got one on a slammer for good measure. First picture was 4.29, biggest one of the night.

Hey blue, you go out there yourself? I wanted to throw my name in the hat to fill that spot, but had some family stuff going on. nice catch there!

Yeah, fished by myself. It was pretty slow but the quality kept me interested.
