  1. White Bass will hammer your Carolina Rig weight w/o mercy. Drives me crazy. Darters would absolutely rather hit the sinker than the tiny piece of worm on a hook. This also tests my patience a bunch
  2. The relatively warmer water from Powersite spillover gives the upper lake a boost in water temp in the winter.
  3. That's a lot.
  4. When the water is below 40 degrees, I fish for trout or water systems where the water temp > 40 degrees. Trout bite all year.
  5. My Dad taught me so much about fishing. One lesson he taught me was to fish for what's biting. Don't fish for stuff out of season.
  6. I try not to fish for Bass when water is < 40 degrees.
  7. I must have a guilty look about me. I have been checked on the White (twice), Current, Buffalo (twice), Bull Shoals, Norfork, and Caddo River. I'll spare you my Louisiana and Texas stories.
  8. Yeah, pretty disgusting to see "guides" up there with clients dragging baits. A) I doubt they are barbless b) I doubt they are using artificial and c) it's the part time fly bt night guys that guide < 10 times a year
  9. Jacks Fork is a lot closer, but I'm more confident I can catch them in Big Cypress Bayou
  10. I appreciate her worrying about the sculpins. good memories for the little ones.
  11. 26) Black Spotted Top Minnow
  12. It was Spring in South Louisiana. I came back to a much different reality.
  13. It seems like the company that makes Rogues (Smithwick or Pradco) used to do a lot of limited runs. Not quite customs, but a little less common.
  14. Maybe start your daughter on the a slot sized redfish.
  15. Lol, I’ll quit whining about 12 degrees then
  16. Well Heck Marty, you’re in way better shape today than most of us.
  17. Yours is too!
  18. Big or Small, I like em all.
  19. Here’s a fish pic
  20. 25) Channel catfish. maybe channel kitten would be better
  21. 24) Gafftopsail Catfish our guide has been quite bemused by my desire to catch em all, but he draws the line at micros, Lol. I think these are Super Cool and I was thrilled in case you couldn’t tell.
  22. 23) Hardhead Cat
  23. South of Houma, La. 2/10/21 Mid 70’s
  24. 22) Red Drum after years of my larger frame making fish look smaller than they actually are, a fish turned the tables on me. 45 inch long x 29 inches around calculates out to roughly a 42 pounder. sight fished with a fly. Pulled the boat around. Took me well into the backing. Special Memory made.
  25. I’m always super critical of my fly fishing abilities. I did really good on that one though. I did not Expect to get a black drum on fly.
