    I believe the BPT guys get 2 full practice days prior to fishing, so with good electronics and 2 days to ride around, they should have found the fish. Tough for the weekend fisherman to devote that much time looking around.

    I'll say it one more time, I have tested the non-ethanol fuel I get here in AR and it does not contain any ethanol. Could there be trace amounts? Maybe, but it certainly isn't 10%.

    Wheeler could be the best out there right now in the professional ranks. Not saying the best all time, but he could definitely end up being one of the best all time.

    I found the one I have, going to put a feathered treble on the back and replace the front hook and give it a shot one of these days. King Shad on top, Wake Shad below.

    I know people up in Maine would wear the equivalent of a hazmat suit when going fishing in the spring.

    The infamous blackflies, used to get them in Massachusetts, but never got swarmed by them. They are supposedly really bad in Maine during the spring.

    There's a video of KVD fishing a Wake Shad on TR that I have seen. Someone sent it to me and I can't find it or I'd post it here. My bet is he was fishing a Wake Shad which looks pretty much like the King Shad, just different bill. I'm pretty sure I have one somewhere.

    Blues are just looking like the better team. I hope the Bruins can pull off a game 6 win and make it go to 7, but I am doubtful.

    Sounds like a great trip and good on you guys for packing out the trash.

    That makes sense, if you have enough fish that you are going to make the cut, might as well quit sticking them and instead focus on finding them for the next round.

    Forgot to check who won until now - Wheeler pulled it off, good for him.

    That first bass looks like it is about 4 feet long! šŸ˜ƒ Congrats on some great fish!

    Need to get that gal signed up for the BPT!

    Humminbird has (or had) that map maker function. Pretty neat for small lakes that don't make it on the mapping apps. But, if you're going to build a map using that feature it will take a long time to do it on anything over about 50 acres.

    Nope, they all don't have the same talent (or lack thereof).

    Hmmm, maybe that says something about his fans..

    Yep I believe spoons can catch them, just not something I like to do for stripers, I would rather find them on top and if I can't find them, I'll go bass fishing.

    Got out at daylight today, went looking for top water stripers, and had another morning where there just wasn't much of that going on. I did catch a couple of 18" stripers on top and had one other blow up that looked to be one that was a bit bigger. Went bass fishing after that, caught 15 bass, only two were keepers and both keepers were smallmouth. Top water, jigs, and Keitech caught fish. Threw a jig at the deep end of a dock, it sank for a second or two and then got hammered. Seemed to be a classic bass bite, but it turned out to be a 3 lb. channel cat. WT 74

    Well shoot, been thinking of giving them a try myself. Did you try up shallow or were you mainly deep fishing?

    Rapala BX Wake Minnow will wake right out of the box. Unfortunately they don't have a jointed version so it does not have the snaky motion of a jointed Redfin.

    Dang pesky 19" fish.
  23. Quillback
    Well I am a still looking - went out early today with a buddy and we covered lots of water, never saw much top water activity, at least from stripers. Black bass were active, buddy caught a 3 lb. LM on a fluke over 50 FOW, we caught several nice 15-16" spotted bass, a few smaller spots and finished up with several smallmouth off a rocky bank on jigs. Black bass are chasing shad on top in places, seems to reason so would the stripers, but it just isn't happening. Saw a few guides pulling shad down by point 6 that might be a good place to start looking.

    Curious if Wheeler got any on a top water later in the day? I didn't see any of the last few hours. Today should be interesting with all the boat traffic.

    Looks like a drop shot fest so far. It will be interesting to see if when it gets into the evening if someone finds a schooling top water bite.
