Basically all the bass fishermen that I have talked to have struggled so far. Crappie has been on for lots. The lake has come up several feet very quickly and Hodges is notoriously challenging in February.

My sentiments exactly. Great job out there and thanks for the reports.

I hear you Moose. I have learned to try to be more lenient when a guy with his family for example, are in rental boat and have no clue that when they come close to where I am fishing or cut between me and the shoreline. Not fun, but I guess most do not really know any better and are just out to hav...

Y'all hit me up. Invite yourself fishing. Tubes, yak, hike, shore, fresh, salt, fly, etc. Ramona, morena, Sd bay, Sweetwater, etc. If you're one of those guys that makes a youtube video because you catch 3 dinks, don't hit me up. :( Was thinking of hitting you up, but am I one of those guys? I don'...

Hey JWall it was great meeting you out there and chatting! Thank you for the kudos. I'm not sure I'm ready for flight with the tube setup but maybe teleportation will be next! I look forward to seeing you again on the water and congrats on the nice fish! Cheers!

https://youtu.be/FRH0713MlFA?si=CXmy52JYgvHrnWIW Hey all I hope all the lines are tight and the drags are screaming. I really had a mental splinter this week deciding where to fish. I know that shouldn't be that big a deal but look I'm sure you guys get it. Do I fish here or there? Once a decision h...

Nice! Come by and say hi sometime. Cheers!

Obsess over where to fish and what to throw? Me?! LOL that’s got to be all of us. Lately location is anywhere away from the tournaments. I make lists and lists of tactics, each different for every lake. I love trying newer weapons, hence the jig Saturday. More of a rubber worm guy for bottom fishin...

Lake Hodges Fishing: How Many Fish Can I Lose In One Day? https://youtu.be/FKoe7PF1Ow0 Hey all here’s a late report from last Sunday at Hodges. I said out to just enjoy having a day on the water. It ended up turning into something bizarre. I worked down the shoreline and ended up missing a couple of...

Hey...your tough day of lost fish brings back some crazy memories, but at least you did have highlights of the ones you caught. I know it is not the same and it is impossible to figure out how did so many fish came off and why. I beat myself up when I lose a handful or a bigger one for several days...

Looked fun and heart breaking at the same time!
Hard for me to sleep on days like that thinking of what could've been!
I have a solution for you!
Do the beer tasting first thing in the ÀM

Believe me after that first big loss I was ready for a beverage for sure!

Absolutely amazing! I love perfect days and you deserve it! You have grinded and hit it hard rain or shine and can take this with you forever. In the words of Falco “chicks dig scars, glory lasts forever” cheers to you.
