Who's going fishing this weekend besides LMG going to Lox on Sunday? I know i am out, my son has 2 baseball games this weekend.

Hey gang, I still check out what's going on here as much as i can, the weather is so nice i decided i was going to forget about the remodeling of my house for a little while and take a little fishing trip, hope to put a few in the boat and post some pics here. good luck to everyone going out tomorrow.

Just decided to go walk the canal with a jig. Caught 1. Saw a big bass approx 5-6lbs come out from under me while fishing. I see where she hangs out. One day I will get her.

Don't you hate it when a pig slowly comes out of hiding in front you. You can't believe the fish was there the whole time.

I had a little luck today, and was able to catch 3, really nice on the water in the morning. started at 7 and fished till 11, i got 2 small dinks on a trick worm (junebug), and 15" on a bitters worm in watermelon red glitter, not much action but better then my last trip.

Well,lets see hmmmm, good side is we caught 8 fish. Bad side none of my 4 measured, they were 8 to 10 inches. However I am a big enough man to come on here and say two of the wifes measured. 3lb and one 1 lb.

Well I was supposed to go to the lake this morning for the weekend and give you boys a run this month.  But.  I woke up to a power problem in the house.  One of the wires on the pole burnt in half over night and when that finally got fixed around 2 pm then I discovered a problem on one of the circuits in the house.  Both of my electrician buddies are in tree stands in GA since today is opening day of deer season.  So here I am, not at the lake, trying to run extension cords to get the cable box and big screen going so I can at least watch football tonight.

I entered this contest in the spring on the other site and did not catch a fish over 12" that month.  This month I haven't even made it to the water.  Maybe I should stay away from the contest.

Sorry to hear about your electrical issues. There is always something when you own a home. Hopefully  the issue gets resovled soon.

I got out the other day, caught a couple that wouldnt help and one that would. Just my luck though, I line it up to snap a pic, fish goes 18 inches on the board. Hit the camera button on the phone, click the round button on the screen to snap the pic and it makes this half a$$ click noise and shuts off. Phone completely died. Sooooo, let the fish go and packed it in. Will try again with the phone charged today maybe

Had plans to go to O tomorrow, but I just dont know if its going to happen. So much going on with opening up the new shop, hard to get away.

Im dieing. Only fished for maybe two hours so far for this month.

[LgMouthGambler]

It's dead still out here.

[Capt. BassinLou]

Sure looks nice though. Good luck.

Beautiful weather for sure.  Hopefully going to look at boat tomorrow.  Which will improve my fishing time from now.  You can only spend so much time on the dock.

To the swim jiggers in the group, how do you all fish it? It was slow on the canal today, so i threw a swim jig for entertainment. Missed a 30"+ Snook, but that's a whole other story. This was my 3rd miss on them. Anyways.... do u all fish it similar  to a spinnerbait  and jig?

[Deadeye]

Yep. Cast and slow retrieve.

[Capt. BassinLou]

Thanks Deadeye, so find the pattern that the fish are looking for.

So I got out this weekend with a buddy of mine and had a great time. We went to a new lake we have been eye balling for a couple months now, it has "NO FISHING" signs everywhere around it . Caught 5 and lost a good one. Only 3 where worthy of a measure, the other 2 were as big as the senko I was throwing lol. I tried using the frog in the morning for about 45 min and nothing, caught everything on a green pumpkin with red flakes senko.

U mean trailer is EZ  ..... the missle baits twin turbo video looked like a cool trailer as well.....I don't fish swim jigs though. Not enough time or money to buy, learn and fish something new
