I had about an hour and a half to fish this morning, so I headed to the town pond
The closest place to drop a line .
First time I’ve been there this year I believe.
It’d been awhile.
I made a...

Nice slabs M
Daughters make great fishing buddies!

They like them bright colors down there in Texas . Kaboom!

I had gills jump when I set the hook . Shellcrackers too .
Tail walk across the water !

Nice gills ! Kaboom!

Congrats Randy , on getting out !
Pretty fish !
This has been a strange year for wind .
I was supposed to have taken my boat out today but the forecasted wind drove me to bank fish .
Funny,...

A few colorful dinks caught today .

A beautiful day forecasted . Sunny , upper 70’s , light winds .
When we arrived the water had just about cleared completely and was only slightly down from last week.
I took five combos to fish...

BTW , I’m taking my 5’6” Daiwa Iprimi XXUL tomorrow .
Not sure how much fishing time it’ll get , but it’s in the car . :)
And a 5’9” , 1 weight flyrod .

Most except for a couple weren’t big enough to fillet .
So, they’re on a weight gaining program. :)

Was checking out the MC Finetail glass spinning rod again and ran across this post and noticed it’s been awhile since we’ve had a post from moonrunner .
I know he was having issues and pray he’s...

Getting that first slimming on a new rod is a special trip ! Congrats !

Prettiest fish caught today.

Went fishing this morning to lake McIntosh.
The water is still dingy , but showing signs of clearing.
I picked a couple of short combos to take with me , a 5’ St Croix Avid ULF paired with a...

60 catches = nice outing. Congrats!
Glad we don’t have to mess with those overgrown lizards like you have down there .
Folks around here claim one has been spotted the past couple of years, but...

Awesome!
Love catching redbreast .
Beautiful colors especially on that last one .

And lastly , a 4.6mm bead on a size 10 Mustad jig hook with a shortened regular TM body at 1.06g .
I used the same shortened TM body on each jig to keep the weights as accurate as I could manage .

A 4.0mm bead on a Mustad size 10 jig hook with a shortened regular TM body at .77g .

A 4.6mm on a size 12 Mustad streamer hook with a shortened regular TM body at 1.0g

Weights
First up , are a 4.6mm bead jig with mini TM body at .89g.
And then a 4.0mm bead jig with mini TM body at .62g .

I’m going to need to do this a couple of pictures at a time .
First up is a 4.6mm on a Mustad size 10 jig hook and a mini trout magnet body .
In the next picture , the double , on the left is a...

I ordered a small scale that reads out in grams to weigh my tungsten jigs I’ve been tying up .
I had a good idea what they weighed but curiosity got me .
I received it this afternoon and had just a...

Speaking of records .
I got a notice of this one .
This 40# striper is the new LAKE record for the lake my fishing buddy and I most frequent.
Just goes to show what’s swimming around out there...

I think the farther south , the smaller they get .
Like yellow perch .
Our state record yellow perch is 2 lb, 9 oz (16 inch) caught last year in north Ga.
I rarely catch one 10”

Thought this might be of interest to some .
Georgia state record rock bass .
1 lb, 0 oz (10 13/16-inches) fish on April 6 on South Chickamauga Creek. This catch will be the first rock bass...

This year has seemed to be a little strange for me . If it’s not the weather , or the wind , it’s a flat tire .
Now it’s the pollen that’s bothering me .
The pollen count yesterday was in the...

After having issues getting to the lake yesterday, I wake up this morning with rain hitting on the roof .
Checked the forecast and it was supposed to be over in about an hour .
It didn’t .
When I...

Mine also. I’ve had two flat tires in the past year and both canceled fishing trips.

Weather is supposed to be perfect today .
Planned to meet up with my fishing buddy around eleven this morning at our regular fishing holes .
Had everything loaded into the RAV4 last night to get a...

Took a short trip today to lake McIntosh, a local drinking water reservoir.
Fished a little over an hour in the heavily stained water .
Wind wasn’t a factor until just before I left around 2pm ....
