Sunday After the FLW weigh in.

Heck I've thought of bringing my pond prowler down to PB 2 to do a little fishing.  That MLF dude whacked em in that cove.

PB2 wasn't off limits to MLF?

It was not.  I can't remember who it was in there.  Randy Howell???

Somebody might know.

Nah man, we fished it. Had about two hours to fun fish and that's exactly what we did. I understand a lot of bass guys seem to have this ego to maintain so just fun catching and sharing with the community guys isn't good enough for them. Hey that's fine, whatever gets you off. Laugh away, it's good for ya. 

The funny thing is, I watched the release boat take the fish out away from prairie creek...and not only that but ten pros only weighed in like 15 fish altogether. Mostly smallies and spots. And funny I didn't catch a single spot or smallie. 

I had fun with a buddy after working the expo and I shared it. That's the point of the post. Sorry if it really bothered you...actually, I'm not at all. Go get em hammer 

I have to say I like your easy going attitude.   I'm hitting LOZ this weekend and I might regret teasing you about the release zones before I leave on Wednesday.

I usually am really easy going actually, and it is really hard to tell if you are genuinely just teasing or actually just had an issue with us fishing there. So if I took it too seriously I apologize.

However, the general attitude a lot of bass fisherman have about fishing near the ramp because local tournies release fish there is unquestionably sour. And I just don't understand the need to bash someone for potentially catching fish released there. It was all in fun and I'm sure we all enjoy just catching some easy fish from time to time. But it's also a pattern I thought might be duplicated else where with similar structure in the water and that's what I wanted to share. 

While im almost certain most of our fish were fresh fish moving up with the water I don't know for certain. But there were not holes in their mouths indication cull rings or anything like that. And you still gotta make em eat. I don't agree with fishing retreads with money on the line necessarily but this was all in good fun. I never claimed to be a pro and who knows how we would have done had we fished else where. Could've gone either way.

Anyways, just thought I'd clear the air some. Good luck on LOZ.

Im guilty, in 2015 when Arey won his 2nd FLW, I was fishing that area after the day 4 weigh in. It wasnt easy, but I scratched out a 12lb limit of spots & SMB. I was throwing a keitech on 1/4oz head & slow rolling it so that it was scrubbing the bottom. Most of them hit in the last 30 min of daylight. 

I have no problem fishing for the retreads, its a challenge to catch those spooky smart fish.
