Lake was calm and algae free today. Trout rising everywhere eating all the bass fry and other fry I'm sure. Bait balls everywhere, bass were feeding on them as well! I started through the pads near th...

Man was it chilly today! Ridiculous. Anyway, I ran up to Terrell today to check the weed growth and see how my new set up would work in the thick stuff? I started out on the outer edges of the pads on...

The first voyage in the new boat!! I really didn't want to rate this trip as I was more interested in learning the new rig, doing break-in runs and acclimating to my new surroundings and equipment. I ...

Ran over to Armstrong for a couple hours to play with the dinks. Alternated between a 4" Senko and a floating Rapala and caught a bunch! Biggest maybe 1 1/4 - 1 1/2lbs. Saw a really good one for this ...

Decided to fish McMurray today as it's open finally and it's like ten minutes from home. I missed one in the pads right next to the launch, about a 2.5 that launched at my bait as I was lifting it out...

Decided to swing by Clear on my way home from Grandy and see if it was actually CLEAR?! To my astonishment it was!! Couldn't launch fast enough! Pads are just coming in and that usually means cruising...

Continuing with the "farewell tour" with my trusty old Tracker I ran up to Grandy this morning to see what was up? Fish were pretty much in spawn mode and not interested. I caught a couple in the 1.5-...

Hit Big Lake today for the first time this year. I launched and headed for the south end to go after the easy fish in and around the pads. Nothing touched a topwater or spinnerbait for about 100 yards...

Well, I was hoping to hit this lake before the smallmouth got to far along in their spawn and I was close. Water temps I found were 59-62*. The fish are definitely bedding up and while that's a bummer...

Thought today might be setting up nicely with the incoming front but ended up being a bit of a grind. Caught the first fish about 30 minutes in, a 2.4lber with a strange and distinctive chunk missing ...

Last trip to Terrell for me for a couple weeks so I was optimistic that the weather last week had a positive impact. The only downside today was that the wind on Sunday seemed to have churned up the w...

Ended up being a pretty short trip today, about 2 1/2 hours or so. I did get two confirmed "bumps".... I won't call them bites but it was definitely fish. One on a T-rigged worm and one slow rolling a...

Looking at the forecast Monday night I was optimistic towards fishing this shallow lake the following day regardless of the moon phase not being ideal. The forecast called for air temps to be low to m...

With this lake reopening on the first I just couldn't stay away. Water level was up but not quite as much as I would have hoped. Water temps were 42* with an ambient temp of *45 (by the time I left) b...

Water temps were 49* and the level had come up a little as the water had some cloud to it. Wish there was a photo to share but it ended up being a dinkfest. Except for the 16" cutthroat that nailed my...
