went to the local lake which has recently suffered low oxygen levels and a big shad kill because of it.

the fishing absolutley sucked.

my friend hooked one bass that looked to be about 6-7" long and it came off the hook when it jumped.

highlight of my day was having ONE hit on my shad swimbait.

i was tuning the swimbait by bending the line tie, and i was reeling it in to test the action when i saw a big shadow follow it. there was a bass right on the tail end of this swimbait. so i stopped the swimbait real quick and it turned 90° to the left and the bass just chomped on the back of the swimbait! i could clearly see this 12-14" bass take two bites of the swimbait and turn around.

i was excited and mad at the same time that he didnt get any hooks!

anyway, thats my fishing report for today  :-/

sorry to hear about that dave.  good ol' fall fishin' is just around the corner though.  hang in there buddy.  it's days like this that make the good ones especially sweet.

The good news is that your dad did not outfish you.  ;D

We have poor days.  It is a part of fishing.

Don't worry bout the slump.  I'm in a massive one.  I've had alot of zeros this summer on lakes that I know really well.  It happens to everyone.  A combination of you continuing to fish and the water cooling down is gonna bring you some good results soon.

Keep on keepin on dude.

You should have been with me Saturday night. It was bad.
