Congratulations on 44 years together. Time sure flies when you're having fun. You're just getting started.

Had as much fun feeding them cicadas as I did catching them. Fish seem closer to the surface now even with murky water from recent storms.

Still some life left in that one, must be the glow eye left on the jig. You're surface technique reminds me of a trout fishing trip several years ago. While fishing a riffle area that dropped into a...

Very nice cat and crackers. I hope you catch them again.

I got out yesterday and got on the gills again. One rod only again and a small jar of Berkley power wiggler pieces and some duck feather jigs was all I needed on this trip. Fish seem fatter since the...

Scale pattern resembles a crappie but the red spot leaves no doubt that it's a redear, and a beauty.

Thanks everyone. Cicadas are everywhere out there and some were landing in the water. Too big for the gills to eat whole but one gill would pull it underwater and several more would come in and tear...

These are my favorite size jig, 1/48 chub on a #10 Matzuo sickle hook. I painted up 50 something and tied over 40 yesterday including a few colors I hadn't made in awhile. Just about out of the...

487923 Have a couple of those sitting on the desk from recent trips. Those little jigs are the bomb. Seems like the more they get chewed on the better they get. They would last longer if the threads...

Actually got to use my waders for the first time in a couple years since lakes and rivers are full from the rains this year. Off my game wade crappie fishing and only hooked one. Had to stop at...

Decided that instead of me carrying three rods and other tackle that I would try fishing the Ketchn style and fish one rod, small bottle of 1/48 duck feather jigs and a couple weighted floats in my...

There are more little fishes out there than big ones, they all start little. Never had a day when only big ones were caught. That variety of little ones keep it interesting until the big ones show up.

That's a thumper.

Looks like everyone had a great day, certainly priceless. Never have seen a scorpion here. That's a big snake, around 5' is my guess. I quit handling them, they would always poop on me.

My main rigs for all types of panfish is two 7' Shimano Soare BB spinning rods with a Stella 2000 on one and a Stella 1000 on the other. 2# mono on one and 3# on the other. I fish a 3/4" weighted...

These are 1/8 Darter jigs tied on #2 Victory sickles. Really proud of the paint jobs on all of these so I had to tie these up with duck feathers, flash and bunny hair. I did list some in the...

This sale is for my 30 years of my tying jigs. I still like tying and make more than I can use. These are all special with fantastic paint jobs in the 1/8 and 1/16 sizes to start with. Price is $2...

I use UV Blast powder paint in all my powder paint colors, even black when painting jigs. Every color is brighter and makes a big difference since I believe they can see it better. My favorite Pro...

Those bigger bass seem to be home bodies and don't roam around much as long as there is food and shelter. Some years back I caught the same 5lb + bass four times in 11 day period off the same dock...

Thanks for the ride along and pics of the coppernose. I miss catching them, been five years since I caught one.

That's the way to top off a good day and turn it into a great one. I bet it was an epic battle and favorite rod came through again. Great deal on the spare.

You had a great trip, nice fish and variety as well. I'd be smiling too.

Nice mess of gills caught on your hand ties makes it really special. I carry soft plastics but rarely use them other than tipping power wiggler pieces to my hand ties. Pieces of wigglers make a huge...

Congratulations, both of you are sticking some big ones. They are a handful when they get that big.

How long were the bigger redear? Didn't get weights on my two biggest redear in Missouri but both hit 13". My biggest redear from Havasu was 17".

Izorline is some good line and cheap. I'm sure the break strength is over 3# but it casts like 2# and I don't think I would have caught the channel cat with a line that breaks at 2#. Never let's me...

I usually twitch when I have a float on and swim it without the float.

There's teen age girls catching big catfish over 50 lbs. by hand so thought this channel cat is a piece of cake. Really didn't hurt but bled for awhile since I'm on blood thinners. Released...
