One of the many things I love about fishing meeting new people that share the same passion about it as you. Sometimes you meet your newest fishing buddy or you share info with someone that’s never fished that lake before. It’s more than just fishing it’s the memories the moments of quite in the wee early morning hours or sunrises/sunsets. The getting outdoors and just enjoying the simple things listening to the wildlife and letting the things in life that may be a burden gone for that moment, cause in those moments nothing but enjoying nature and trying to solve the puzzle are all that matter.

Simplicity going back to simple has helped me a lot lately downsizing and finesse 2.25” tubes and a straight tail GP blue with tip dyed chartreuse 1/8 oz Texas rig have been on fire lately. Find my self getting a lot of rods out and using only a couple having to tell myself keep it simple stupid put the lot of rods away and just fish smaller and slower as the heat rolls in catching more and bigger fish that way.

Haven’t been on the app in a bit life’s been busy but I’ve gottten out and been doing pretty dang good lately. Jigs have been on 🔥 lately even better when you catch them on ones you make! Hope everyone has been catching some good fishing lately 🤙🏼 gonna go fish the chain lakes off CDA in Idaho this weekend can fish up to 6 lakes all off the river pull off fish one then onto the next. Pretty blessed up here in the PNW to have the fisheries we do

Anyone else throwing the old green curado’s? My favorite reels of all times so solid never fails I’ve got 4-6 older shimanos like this had them since I was 18 so over 14 years and still solid like the day I bought them

Same lake I fish all the time first smallie I’ve ever caught there. I’ve heard of people catching one very rarely and I have fished it for over 15 years. Made for a good morning went out for 2 hrs and was a cold morning but landed a good one!

Finally starting to kick off here in the PNW caught 10 the other day with water temps hovering around 54. Biggest was 4 the others were in the 3 pound range, caught most off the Evo chatterbait with the freeloader as a trailer. Black and blue are a staple for me and white and chartreuse, slowly reeling with occasional stops and finding the patchy grass before the spawning flats haven’t quite moved all the way in yet. Super fun day once I found the pattern and it clicked

Caught some decent fish this weekend but when it gets tough the scenery is nice to enjoy and do some exploring!

Potholes changes so much when I go next I’ll take another round of pictures. Right now waters high so a lot of islands and stuff is covered they are starting to irrigate the crops so water will drop in a month the place will look so different. Something crazy out there too is the seagull mating season so many looks like snow or ice on the water.

Gonna be a beautiful day headed to potholes! Wish me luck 🎣🤘🏽

Something I don’t use much of but I’m gonna force my self to fish more is spinner baits. I fish a lot of chatterbaits, I know they all have their place. So my question is what’s everyone’s favorite spinner bait to use and color if you have a specific one?
