  1. You had nice weather and caught fish ,good ! I haven't been out there for a few days๐Ÿ˜ก
  2. Bottom picture bottom row . Second from left ,is that pink with Bengal stripes? That's a good one๐Ÿ‘
  3. I'm hearing Topwater has been good on the shallow flats early and late
  4. I'm shooting for Sunday, good luck!
  5. May favorite colors on a bass boat! and a Yamaha! ๐Ÿ˜
  6. Fished same creek from 8 until 11. Didn't catch near as many on this trip, but the size was better this time.. Took 2 rods,one with a spinnerbait, one with a buzzbait. Along with a handful of different sizes and colors of each ect. Both baits caught fish. What little wind there was really helped the bite today imo The biggest of the bunch
  7. I went with a friend early today for about 3 hours before the rain came. We caught some angry bass on small Heddon and Excalibur topwaters in every cove and on every flat we fished. Smallmouth were suspended in the middle of coves towards the back, but not all the way,and the flats fish were all largemouth up shallow in bushes. Caught a lot of fish! Never caught a spot, and never had a keeper this trip.
  8. Same place as yesterday. 7 to 10. Had just a few hours to play today. Started slow trolling a crankbait out in the channel around shad in about 13ft., bait running about 3'. To my surprise the crappie were chewing and I had one in the boat within 15 minutes. Made several passes back and forth and had 7 white crappie. Should have had 10 but 3 got off. Went back to the bass spot and started with the rat L trap. About 20 minutes passed before I got bit by a 2lb. Largemouth. She was a crazy fish! Tail walked into the side of the boat then made a power dive, I turned her head and she came back to the top and zip zagged back and forth a half dozen times ,head out of the water the entire time haha. Then it just gave up. Had to figure out how they wanted the retrieve. Once I did that then caught 6 more largemouth all 13 to 14 ". Flat calm conditions as you can see..
  9. Big ck. again First cast 6:25 last cast 2pm.,first fish didn't come until 9:30. Then is was pretty good for a while. Caught 22 total. That's bass over 10",I'm not counting the dozens of babies I caught today ๐Ÿ˜‰ Mix of spots and Largemouth, all the Kentuckies were keepers,5 of them. Just 2 keeper largemouth but had a lot of fun with the other short fish. Not a strike on topwater today. And that's what I was trying to make happen for the first few hours to no avail. Could not get a bite shallow like I had been. Had to put the boat in 8 to 9 feet near the creek channel and slow roll a spinnerbait above the cover and tick the weeds and brush tops with a rat L trap in 4 to 7ft.. Dark clouds of shad everywhere just under the surface but practically no schooling activity at all. This little homemade spinner has saved the day more than once!
  10. Previous Post here deleted. Not because I wanted to.
  11. Started at 6:30am quit at 11. 1/8oz. Tennessee Shad Finesse Spinnerbait and a pink and purple spook caught the fish around shallow brush. 7 short Lm bass and 2 keepers both kentuckies. Bite was slow until the wind blew. All the fish were caught in the last 2 hours from 9 to 11. So many gar in Big Creek again wish they would leave
  12. Multiple boats were broken into recently. A camera placed at the entrance to the marina resort would be sufficient enough to see anyone coming in or leaving by vehicles . Relying on a dock camera to get images of boats in the cove or people on the dock is useless, and Jmho. I've had stuff stolen when my boat was there for a while. If you have a fishing boat there, better go check it.

    What's Cooking?

    This was from the other night. Pork steaks after 6 hours on the pit. Salt and pepper and refrigerate overnight. After 5.5 hours cook time added a dry rub and sauce for the last half hour or so. The sauce was homemade with molasses, brown sugar, and honey. But not as sweet as you may think.
  14. What was left after the hornworm feasting festival,๐ŸŽŠ๐Ÿ…๐ŸŒฟ Every morning, every evening removing caterpillars from the leaves๐Ÿ˜ต
  15. Well I guess I won't be catching any walleye where I'm fishing lately. . Deepest water is about 12 to15 ft. According to the map I'd have to go a long way with just a trolling motor to find 30ft.
  16. I haven't

    9/4

    6:30 to noon Big ck. Had 8 short fish this time caught on a spook I painted. Water was stained and you couldn't see the fish but they were there in a foot of water or less. 5 small keepers - 3 Lm and 2 kys Same pattern as the last times. Popping plugs, isolated bushes in shallow water 2 to 4ft. This years early hatch lm are growing fast! Saw dozens of them in schools of 5-10 and maybe 6" long. There's also mass numbers of fingerling or smaller bass swimming around.
  18. Cool! Hazedong ,๐Ÿ˜„ lol what where they thinking when they picked that name
  19. Arrived at the creek at 6:00am. First bite was around 6:30 on a pop r. Didn't take long to find a pattern. Isolated bushes in 2-3fow. Caught 8. 7 were keepers all largemouth. Nothing huge but fun anyway. This was the biggest fish. Notice the one bush sticking up in the background Caught 3 off this bush. 2 were keepers Called it quits at 10:30.
  20. Took a drive today to check the lake out and look for a spot to fish tomorrow., grabbed a rod with a spinnerbait on it, thew it in the truck and headed out. Went to 3 places trying to find the best option. Funny thing is everywhere I went I caught bass from the bank. 2 or 3 at each spot, no keepers, but enough action to get me interested. Hadn't been anywhere near the lake since my bluegill trips, but from what I saw today there are fish shallow near drop offs. . Thing is will they be there tomorrow,and will they bite??? Not sure which place to put in at because they all looked awesome! When I got home I re spooled a few reels that had old line on them since Spring. Made sure everything is good to go for in the morning. Will report back tomorrow afternoon. Plan is to fish from daybreak till around noon.

    What's Cooking?

    My fast is finally over, now bring on the groceries! I haven't seen one thing posted here that I wouldn't devour in a second
  22. This is pretty sweet! I've never caught a musky, maybe one day......
  23. completely agree with the data. those numbers for black bass in Bull shoals will only continue be be even more impressive in the next few years thanks to the high water again this year. If we get a somewhat average/normal water level next Spring holy cow it's gonna be epic fishing! The largemouth spawn was incredible this year! Underwater camera footage I saw back in June and July was amazing!
