Congratulations on paying off the boat. Thank goodness our sons are grown up and married, etc.  Can't even imagine the premiums for teens nowadays.

Thanks Lou, sorry about that, but with this heat I'm not surprised!  It's brutal!

I'm going to get out before the stormy week ahead. Trying out a new lake! It's crystal clear. I love fishing clear water. Finesse gear is ready. I can't wait!

I had to postpone my peacock trip with Capt. Lou due to the weather system moving through. Dang it!

Bummer, right? Fortunately, we were able to reschedule. ;)

Capt. BassinLou

Is this the water event that will kick off our high water season?
Just when our water levels were becoming optimal, wham! A two day torrential storm kicks things off! 


big g

Yes it is, but right now look for current points.  Running water will position feeding bass.  My best days this month have been right after a few heavy rains. ~rain

The good news is, there's plenty of locations that has current points!  :-*

This is part of my backyard as I type this. It's a pond!


Capt. BassinLou

Boy, oh boy, it sure is quiet around here.  :(

On a brighter note, I'm going fishing in Glades today for the first time since the storms. I have new guest joining me, you guys have heard his name mentioned before. We will be meeting up for the first time to fish. Stay tuned.  ;)
