A Big Limit on Black Friday

We caught them all day. It was all in the retrieve of the rig. Yup, we threw it.

The big one gave us a slight panic attack when she ate right at the boat with very little line out. After that it was chunking and winding.

We did a lot of moving around hunting big fish, and they were not everywhere. They also changed quite a bit during the day.

With the new C Map we were able to keep up with them, and matched with my Lowrance Carbon we could call our shots. We had a blast.

Mike Harvey Returns to Chase Another Giant

Mike Harvey was in town trying to top the personal best he caught earlier that spring.

You can see that catch in the Madness of March trophy bass report .

We had one day where the fishing was just hard, then the other two days were jammed up.

We checked the area where Mike caught that monster and had no luck at all. They simply were not there. In typical Mike fashion, though, he caught the first bass each day and had several fish on me every day.

On the last day we fished together I figured out a little something, and we caught a lot of fish. It got pretty dumb.

A Good Four Hour Trip

Glen had a pretty good day during a short four hour trip and learned that the rig bite can be a lot of fun.

December Fishing Was Right Around the Corner

December was almost here, and at the time we were expecting the smallmouth bite on Wheeler to begin getting right.

From the original 2018 report

The original report also included recruiting information for an additional USCG licensed guide and promotional affiliate advertisements. Those old affiliate programs and tracking links have since been retired.
