snagged in outlet 3

Some people don’t believe the east wind theory but I do. I still go but my expectations are tempered. Doesn’t seem to affect river fish as much as lakes. Just my opinion.

It’s only Friday morning. Famous last words? 🤷‍♂️

Same here. 😐

Don’t you mean bream?😆

We were going to come down today but put it off till Monday. Batten down the hatches. 😆

If the gravel bar has vehicle access or a boat ramp chances are you will have company. And possibly not good company. I use or go by a lot of public ramps when river fishing and even during the week there is somebody there. Many times I’ve left without putting my boat in and leaving my vehicle unattended. The past weekend it happened. When the area is occupied and their beer cans are scattered everywhere at 5:30 am and they are still partying. I’m out!!!!

The Theo Von ones are hilarious

Honestly, I just don't want to deal with it. It's already cutting into my fishing. I'm meeting the adjuster Wedneday when I WAS going to the lake. I got hit with hail when the Easter tornado went through either 2011 or 2013. The one that hit the airport. I am by no means as bad as some in the area. I wish them well....

I'm interested in hearing what others say. I've heard the bluegill are big in Trock. But I don't have experience with either of them.

We got hit Friday. 80 MPH winds and hail up to 3". Broke out windows in addition to roof and siding damage. 6 minutes total. Then the sun came back out. I've already filed the claim and I'm waiting on the insurance guy to come out....

And your age... I used to heal pretty quickly. Now at 64 I don't😑

Nothing good ever happens after the statement “took to Facebook” comes into play 😆

That’s a real nice one!

I'd say @bluebasser86 is THE MAN to listen too!!! Nice!!

There’s a couple guys on YouTube I watch occasionally. They cut up bluegill and shad for channels and blues. Live ones for flatheads. They are still-fishing though.

At least you don’t have 25’ center console bay boats like Taney.

Surprisingly good fishing considering there were at least 20 boats running back and forth. But dang! Some guys couldn’t throw bigger wakes.

Back at it again today. On the water at 6:45 done at 10:30. Just a great time catching fish. No browns again today. A bunch of stout rainbows! The longer one in the net was over 20”s. LOTS of boats! Nearly all guides. What the heck is going on with these huge center consoles the guides are using. A guy driving the Yamaha CC with 5 people in it just plowing massive wakes. Ridiculous!!! And the deep V Lunds doing the same. 🤷‍♂️.

Yep.

Went back again to day and had a great day catching. No real big ones just a bunch of fat healthy rainbows. Here’s a 17” and 18 for your viewing pleasure. Stocker in net for reference.

I really wanted to go bass fishing again but several things made me go for trout. Hard northwest wind blowing shad against the dam, same wind keeps my flat bottom jet off the rock and the tournament crowd this weekend. Also I figured this cold front would shut down the bass. So trout it is. Launched late at 7 and quit at 11 when traffic got going and beat me into submission.😐. Caught a bunch of nice rainbows and this roughly 24” brown. A tank!! I snapped a picture of a 14” rainbow for reference. I weighed him in the net and cleared all but a little of the silicone in the water. Probably several ounces.

I saw a little topwater activity but couldn’t get bit. Tried a buzzer and swimbait. I kept them handy and threw to several but nada.

Some youth deal with 300 boats Saturday. It’s crazy how many tournaments they have. Good luck!

Sitting in the landscaping in front of the condo. Beautiful!

I wanted to fish yesterday but my trailer jack shot craps so I took it to Brandon Trailer Service. Bo fixed it right away and also repacked my hubs. I can’t recommend him enough. Great service! Today I only had a few hours and got on the water at 7:30. WT 64. I struggled for the first hour but got it going in the back of cuts with bushes or floating wood. Texas rigged big TRD did the damage. I know most people flip jigs but they get hung up so much I like worms better. I caught 10 in about an hour and a half and also lost that many. Flipping and pitching it up shallow. They got bigger as time went on. Biggest was 17”s. Had a blast. Nobody around.
