Hey I'm trying to sell a trolling motor here!

Said nobody ever regarding a MG.

If you want to throw a back seater out of the boat put it on 5 and don't tell them.

The MG wireless I had was smaller than the Ipilot I have now but the MG had lots more power!!!

All you turds leaving for the Classic today, y'all have fun now, y'hear?

We went for a little while yesterday, mostly just to get Chris' boat in the water before the classic to check his new drain plug and confirm everthing was working properly.  The wipers were in their spot but were not eating.  I did snag up a arig on some braid and pulled up a bomber model A. I wouldn't go there now if you want to catch fish.

Pretty sure that A-rig on braid you found is Drew's. He lost it on a cast when we were fishin for wipers back in late fall! lol

Hey I did it, they're gone!   Yea!

Caught 7, 3 more got off before I got them in and 3 more that I just plain out missed. I have no idea how I missed the one on the pitboss. The bait hit the bottom the line started taking off to the left  I swung and came up with noda. 

They all came on the L.H. square bill again today. The ones that got off was on a lucky craft flash minnow. Here is a couple of the ones I caught. All dinks but it was fun getting hit all day. They was in less than 2ft of water on rocks. 

Spring is coming!!! Whacked some fish with blue on Thursday and today. No need to talk about Friday or Saturday. 

A few weeks ago I was contacted by the outdoor writer, Michael Pearce, for the Wichita Eagle newspaper who was wanting to do an article on Wolf Creek smallmouth/largemouth with me. After rescheduling once for wind restrictions, we were able to get out on Saturday. Literally could not have been a better day. First five minutes and Mike is hooked up on a big brown fish. That pretty much set the tone for the rest of the day, as we had a 5 fish bag of green and brown fish easily touching 18 lbs. We all consistently were catching fish (Mike Pearce is a close friend of Ned, so you can guess what he was throwing all day and loved it). DJ and I both had fish touching 4#, and he lost one at the boat that was probably pushing 5. And in true WC form, I probably had a 5 drum bag worth 35+ lbs, lol. We caught fish all the way up until 2pm when we left, still not a stitch of wind on the lake. 

The article will run in the Wichita Eagle next Sunday, print and online. I'll be sure to post the online article & photo gallery here. In the meantime, here are some my pics from the day. The good ones that Mike took will be included next week.

There is a lot of touching going on in this post and I'm not sure what to think about it...

Looks like an awesome day though. Nice work!

There can be only one.

What an incredible thread you guys have going here. I was hoping you all could help me out with something. I took my son down to the Classic over the weekend and had a blast! He met his hero (KVD) and I got to meet mine (Rick Clunn). I never win any kind of drawings but somehow got extremely lucky and won a certificate for a Mecury Fury 4 prop (had to fill out tax form to claim it!). I don't own a tournament boat so I don't have a need for it but I would like to sell it to get geared up for this season. These props are so new I can't find a retail price online and I have to claim it within 30 days. The certificate is transferable but if I don't sell it in 30 days I don't know which pitch to order. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Well, I wish it had a size smaller prop for my boat, I'd be willing to take it off your hands if there was a 23. Here's some info if you haven't seen it already. I'm going to guess a 25 or 26 would be your best bet. As for price? No idea.

This is a pretty sorry sampling of the incredible fishing we had at Wilson County State Lake this past week, but at least I did get a couple of the stout spots on camera.

When you do find a price and want to sell it. Give me a shout! I might be interested in it! 

Fished Lacygne today from 7-3. water temps range from 72 by the water outlet to 55 further up the creeks. Believe it or not we caught one on a frog, yes a frog in March, that was just under 6. Caught a couple on spinner baits, caught a few flipping bluff walls, caught one good one(4lb2oz) on a megabass ito natural, and lost count of how many 2 pounders I caught on a shakey head. Our best 5 for the day were right at 19lbs

That's a great day on the water! La Cygne has been fishing good lately and I imagine those fish should be looking to go on the beds before long if some haven't already.

 

I put the kayak in the creek at Gardner after work today at noon and fished for about 45 minutes. Only took 2 rods and the baits they had tied on, a spinnerbait and a 1/4oz T rigged stick O. Caught 3 on the spinnerbait and missed a couple more (yes I had a trailer hook @gardnerjigman ), never had a tap on the stick O. Off the water and home to sleep for a few hours at 1. Shad were flipping pretty steady in the creek and the flat on the south end, it's about to bust loose.

I think 7 of my past 10 dreams I can remember have been bed fishing dreams.

We did see some beds with males on them but they wouldn't even sniff a shakey head

Today was not a good day. Still having steering issues left over from the Classic so the VLO isn't even an option. So Cass and I took the yak to Kill Creek to chase trout. Fishing was pretty slow, and when I was about to leave I tried to pick a bait off a stump just below the water. Cass wanted to see what I was doing and both of us on the side at the same time flipped us. I lost my cell phone, my Virb, and a lower end Shimano/St Croix spinning combo. Not to mention the water is still way to cold to be swimming in. Seems like if it wasn't for bad luck lately, I wouldn't have any luck. Probably still be back out in the yak tomorrow, going to climb right back on that horse. 

The tension was thick tonight...

There's probably a trout in Kill Creek trying like heck to figure out how to unlock my phone.
