For one that likes to hunt and fish, its been a real good day today. Got to pull the trigger along side my son on some ducks on a beautiful morning, ended up with a couple teal, and had some bass success in the afternoon! Can't complain with that outcome, dang near a perfect day!

I've been doing a bit of house cleaning and organizing lately and look what I found! Any folks recognize this kit? First person who knows the name of this gets a star for the day! I just can't bring myself to throw these away! 😂

Been frustrated lately with my seeking out our LM friends... people are going to town on the pan fish though. Its been a good month that them big bass seemed to just up and disappeared, a few little ones once in a while, I haven't been out much either.. Life ya know... Finally got into acouple decent ones. Was just about ready to put the gear away and start rounding up the ice fishing stuff for the coming winter season.

I just gotta come say hi and support the guy when he comes to my neck of the woods!!

Kinda been chilling for a bit, said enough of that this weekend, got out for about 4 hours yesterday after a good storm pushed through on a newer lake I found out about. Did one of those weigh my best 5 deals... did alright and had some fun with the drop shot!! Hot snakes SMH worm, that was the ticket!

How's everyone's SUF tornament going?! I like this tornament format, I realy do. It prolongs the frustration that you have trying to cull fish for a month with what ya got to work with!! 😆 You hit all your best spots, ya probably have caught some of the same fish a half dozen times, but you do it because ya love it!! Plus, your puting into action the things that we are learning from one another, and being competitive is just flat out fun!!

Had a good day today, was trying to get rid of two 18" and was successful. I got really tuned into what these bass where doing today so I decided to weigh my best 5 to make it alittle more of a challenge for myself. I did alright, through some bass back before I started weighing them that would have put me over 17lbs I'm sure, but just a good fishing day!! Even got a crappie and a pike that I had already caught earlier in the day and the second time got hooked real bad so its on the menu, most likely tomorrow's supper!! Keep on fishing SUF people! Have a great 4th of July weekend!!

I got this one small area that I am able to fish that has been 🔥 for the past week or so with some bigins! There is bass here usually all fishing season but right now they are stacked in here!! I figure this is why these bass are there! Fry Guarders they are.

One of my fun moments, so I had posted some pictures of me at this power plant cooling lake last weekend.  This lake has this one specific area which feeds the main cooling area.  I would describe it as a spillway of sorts.  One of the main species of fish in this lake are catfish. 3 years ago when I first put my kayak in it and fished it for the first time, I made my way to this spillway, not thinking much of it I threw my crank bait into the flowing water, which buy the way, this lake fills from the water from a off limits fish resivor area.... and I think my bait gets snagged.  I thought it got snagged on a piece of rebar that may have stuck out from this concrete spillway or some junk that ended up there some how.  Well after about 2 min of screwing around trying to get my bait back.  It started moving!  Long story sort...  I make it a thing to go back to this place once a year now and spend 20+ min. fighting some giant catfish that just sit there with their mouth open all year long.  It's a freaking blast!! LOL...  The pictures are back to back years.  I did hook into one last weekend, stupid me hooked into one with Blat's sick stick spinning rod.  WRONG ROD TO USE... Note to self!  I couldn't move the cat I hooked into!! I tried fishing more of the outside diameter of this small area because the graph was showing bait balls all over thinking a bass would be there...Nope, big cats everywhere!!  Spent 15 min on that one and it spit my bait.  It was fun though.  Next time bigger rod and 65lb. braid will be used!

Fished a cooling pond this weekend at our local power plant, had a mixed bag of bass, did catch one decent smallie, one catfish, and 4 or 5 of these drum. Kind of a fun bite!
