He’s tenderizing them! 😆

I watch some of the YouTube meteorologist's. They seem pretty independent.

Nice!! I keep telling myself I’m going bluegill fishing but I just don’t do it. That’s a nice haul!

You’re the GUIDE!!!😆. I’m certainly no guide. Ok, I’ll be back after smallie fishing in WI first week in June. I think you’ll be back sometime after that too. 👍

My buddy has been using these with success.

Happy birthday, @tjm!

I’m not sure that’s a fair deal for you. You’re offering way more than I can. I don’t know how it would work. I’m paralleling the bank 5-6’ away.

Nice!! I saw my first water moccasin of the season today. Couldn’t get a decent picture before it got into a big lay down.

I grew up fly fishing and have slowly gotten away from it. I started fly fishing in the 60’s running around the house with a car antenna with string and yarn. I was totally hooked on it. I don’t know why but I slowly just quit using it about 10 years ago.

That’s right in @Johnsfolly wheelhouse!

On the water at 5:40 done at 10. WT 70 everywhere. Just a few little groups of shad spawning. Really quiet and calm compared to the last 2 days. Only 3 fish in the first hour and a half. Spittin image, square bill and floating trick worm. Actually had 2 others on the trick worm but they spit it at the boat. Resorted to ole faithful PBJ finesse jig and caught the 20” 4.16 pounder right off the bat. Caught several more on the jig and then figured they would probably like my custom painted PBJ square bill. YEP. First cast hooks up and when it got along side the boat another fish was trying to get it out of its mouth. Steadily caught them until 10 and left. Another great trip!!

Thx! That’s perfect!

Anybody know where I could fuel line for my outboard around Hollister or Branson?

Darkest smallies I’ve ever seen! Nice!

Check out the beauty I caught today.

I add them from my iPhone

On the water at sunrise. WT 67. Second cast this 4.3 pound large mouth pounded my buzz bait. Caught them steadily until 10 with a bunch of keepers. Buzzer, Spittin image and square bill caught everything. I just don’t want to slow down and drag something on the bottom after a few hours like that. I’d just as soon go home and have breakfast.

I haven’t caught a smallie this year. In the same area’s where I caught them like crazy in the past🤷‍♂️

I tried it yesterday but only caught some bluegills on it.

I love redfishing

Ditto what everyone else said. Assortment of clousers including chart/white. But I’ve never been in the height of the summer season. Take a lightweight spinning rod and fish live sand fleas during the day. Might get some pompano.

69-70. I saw an area I’ve never had any luck on with a shad all over it but it was right at the end of my day. I think I’m going to reverse my milk run tomorrow. I think some of the areas I get to later might be better early but I’m just not there.

I definitely fish a top water too long. Like a car wreck I just can’t look away 😂

Early they were on the bank and sometimes fish would charge in and the shad would jump up on the bank to get away. Crows were eating the shad too. Dozens of them. Later they were just swimming around in big balls.

No. But I had a hard time letting him go.
