[VIP]

thanks so much soluz,you and vip are really nice guys !!! we enjoyed a lot the day with you,we hope to meet you another time!

the day was really windy and the water temperature was low (50 or less) so the fishing was difficult... but i caught that 2 pounder american bass and i was really excited...! i came here in usa to catch the big one, but that one was a good keeper bass and i am happy! thanks a lot guys,i will never forget our day together !!!

I'm glad you had a good time. I wish the weather had been better. It was my pleasure to allow you the chance to catch some American Bass.

Volla Bass (Alberto) E-mailed me and said he was heading back to Italy soon and wanted to get in 1 more day of fishing and asked if I would take him and his brother out again. Of course I agreed. He said he had a guide take him out on LOZ and they fished closer to the darn and caught a few small bass but didn't do all that well. The forecast for Monday didn't look all that good but it turned out to be a great day. A little windy but no rain.

We put in at Larry Gale at 11:30am and started throwing spinner baits and pitching jigs around the docks. We didn't even get a bite till around 2:00. I was able to get the boat between 2 docks that had some brush behind it, setting on a rocky shore. That is where Alberto caught his 3.5lb bass. It is so great to see someone who is new to bass fishing catch a big bass. I think I was just as excited as he was. The fish did it's job too, it made some nice runs and even tail danced a little.

Since that bass was caught around structure on a rocky shore, that is what we started looking for. It was the right decision. We didn't catch anything bigger than his first bass but the rest of them were very respectable.

We were catching them in about 5 foot of water or shallower, around rocks and logs. We caught them all on lighter colored spinner baits, white/yellow/chartreuse fished real slow bumping rocks and logs. The water temp was around 60* at trolling motor depth. Water was not that clear but average for LOZ. I thought they might be in the clearer water in creeks, they weren't.

They seemed to be in a little shallower water, but not up the creeks yet. The water was up from the last few weeks but still a couple feet low. One last thing, they seemed to be holding on rocky shores where the wind was blowing INTO the shore.

I'd like to thank Alberto and his brother for a great day. And thank you for the bottle of wine. I have the perfect steak picked out that will go well with it. Have a safe trip home.

Thanks to you Tony !!!

We will never forget our days fishing with you...! the last one was amazing and that big bass was really funny and strong!

good report too!

only one clarification : we didn't fish at the dam with the guide, with the guide I caught a nice 2 pounder bass.

The next day me and my brother went to the dam and tryed to fish but it did not seem a good largemouth spot so we went to lake of the ozarks state park!

Ciaooooooooo e grazie di tuttooooo !!!!!

Have a safe trip home ! I'm looking forward to when you come back.

WOW ! Now THAT is a complement!(I owe you a $1.00 for that one!)

Maybe I should start building up a client base ,,lol?!!

Strange, my fishing hat just became too small.

In all fairness, Alberto, I would say VIP is the better guide.. Solus will put you on a big bass, but VIP goes the extra mile. He will actually hang his lure in the tree over the bass' head (of course claiming it to be an "accident") and allow you to cast into the hole and catch the lunker! Whatta pal, eh?
