Look for little small details like this.
Mr. Barde
I’ve been out of the loop for bit. Is it too late to qualify Kindlewood Cares Championship?
I fished a long stretch of water today and there were only two docks that were sticking out into the deeper water around 8’ deep. The rest of the docks were small and only got to 3-4’ of water on outside posts. I took my time and picked the water apart about an hour and a half total in 200 yards. I fished the grass between the docks and caught a few 1-2lb. I dropped a wacky rig to the outside posts on both deeper water docks and caught a largemouth on both. The docks were holding a 2-3/4 and 5-1/2lb bass. Like advised many times in videos and lessons here, staying off the trolling motor I believe is a huge factor. That’s one my goals for the rest of the season to work on boat control and setting up to drift to my target area.
Had a great learning experience fishing a tournment on Lake Winneconne yesterday. Had an experienced co-angler that was a college angler. Certainly learned a few things from him. We burned a chatterbait all day on docks. Lake is almost 16,000 acres with a max depth of 7ft. Water is muddy and reminded me of fishing in Georgia. Rained on us all day but still had fun.
“She thinks we’re just fishin’.” 🎣❤️
My girl caught her very first bass today, and to say I’m proud would be a complete understatement. Watching the excitement she gets over fishies, right alongside her brother, makes my heart so happy.Fishing is something that was passed down to me from my dad, and now getting the opportunity to pass that same love and those traditions down to my kids is something I’ll never take for granted.These are the moments and memories I’ll cherish forever. There’s nothing better than watching your kids fall in love with something that means so much to you.Here’s to many more fish, muddy hands, early mornings, and memories together.
I tried to lay out the different blanks that came in. I ordered baits that I haven’t done yet people asked about. I picked up the “Mother” after the live with glide bait pro B had on here. As well as a few other glides as I get asked about them a lot. Still have jerkbaits and Rock Crawlers with Spro eyes rock crawlers ko with raised eyes. 3-4 DT sizes. Little John big John flat sides S-cranks in 4 sizes. Kvd1.5,2.5 and a bunch of top water like spooks and poppers. I hope everyone is doing well. Picked up foil for wrapping my own if requested and finally got some packaging clear boxes to label and ship them in. Thank you to everyone who has ordered from me you have no idea how much it means to me and my family! Keep piercing those lips. One love!
Anyone here experimented with a jika/tokyo rig before? Looks like a very interesting presentation for a craw or worm.
When a catfish about swallowing your jig...
All my buddies have been slaying them in jigs, its definitely not a confidence bait if mine, thats why ive been throwing it more and more... trying to gain some confidence in it... now im confident itll catch big catfish.... lol
In the past 7-10 days I’ve fished in the local rivers. I’ve mostly been catching them between the grass and the shore on multiple baits. I have caught a couple In the openings in the grass, but seems most are looking towards shore. Normally I would’ve fished the edge of this grass out deeper quickly or skipped by, but now I slow down and pretty much stop at these spots where I see a noticeable separation between shore and the thick grass, and it’s been paying off. Tips I’ve learned here like staying off the trolling motor I beleive also helps a lot.
