Gar that are cruising around sipping and slurping are often hard to get a serious bite from. If you can find one just sitting and run your bait parallel to him, preferably coming from behind, you'll get a solid take (deeper in his mouth) almost every time.
-
Surely you spoke up because you're just dying to give us a seminar on it, but want to be specifically asked. Here I am asking. Please school me.

I think the only real niche for chatterbaits is gonna be swimming docks in the Fall, but I'd love to hear otherwise.

Just had walleye for dinner tonite. Delicious! Wish I knew how to catch more of them.
-
That meat is very rare. Surely that is for effect and you cooked it more before eating? Otherwise....Yikes!
-
Best typo ever !
-
Well if I'm ever fishing with you and you start humming "Duke of Earl" you'll be fishing alone the rest of the day.
-
Love the BVK rods, they seem "crisp" enough for just about anything. No experience with the Axiom.
-
Hey at least you got some stink on your hands. That green fish is respectable, I bet he wasn't all by himself in his location.

There is a manual release valve below the fluid reservoir (just FYI), either a large screw or a knurled knob. Those old style Merc tilt/trim systems can really eat your lunch. So many potential causes for the problem you described that I refuse to type them all out. Honestly once that trim system has reached the age it is now....prepare to drop some serious cash (often more than the whole motor is worth). Sorry but that's Mercury Marine for ya. -
Shad balls are EVERYWHERE. Literally. So surely that's not part of the location pattern.
-
Awesome trip report! I've never been out West. Very cool!
-
Man that approach looks sweet in print, I'd love to see it work repeatedly in real life. I pay zero attention to fish returns out on deep featureless flats because I assume they aren't just sitting there....they are on the move to somewhere else and will be 50' away from that spot way before I can get a bait in front of them.
-
The boat traffic has gotten the best of me, so I've moved my fishing to the rivers for awhile. The bass are still biting in that 15-17' range (some days on brush and other days not) but I'm just tired of fighting the waves in order to fish. Should be settling down in a week or two.

Pork Chop.... my fishing buddy.

My boy is a bit bigger now. https://youtu.be/clrpYPkLmJY He is good in the canoe as long as a horsefly doesn't get after him.

It was last night, Oneshot. Not sure what happened, I just got sent the pic this morning.

I fished it some back in the '80's and it never seemed to fish near as good as it looked. It wasn't worth driving past MT to fish it that's for sure.

They are an extra special joy when they roll in a dead gar, it makes you so glad to have them along. -
What happened over there, straight line blast or a twister?
-
Doesn't look like either one of those baits has seen much use. You need to get out more, CWF.
-
Difficult and fiesty is how I roll.
-
Oh I understand it. Do you wanna spend as much on every meal as you did to build your kitchen ? Or buy a new lawnmower every time the grass needs cut ? No! Guys with 40k boats whine like little girls over replacing 15.00 worth of gear lube all the time.

I'm getting real attached to walking a FROG lately. The KVD sexy frog and/or the Kopper frog will walk really well once you get the hang of it and although I haven't used them for stream smallies the LM crush them like there's no tomorrow, and you can throw them absolutely anywhere without fear of hangups. If one doesn't get stuck just throw it back at him and 80% of the time the fish will eat it again. That almost never happens with a hard bait.
-
Boy that's a good point! If I had hired you and you failed to produce accurate numbers at the end of the day because you were too busy rowing the boat..... you could just forget about getting a tip !

If the guys on here don't know the difference between a big gizzard shad and a bass then we have a problem.
