Good job getting around to new places and catching fish.
I enjoy reading the the variety of reports from these different lakes. |

Skeeter Jim keeps telling me to try that place in my yak,.....he "claims" that he lost a really big one in there!
(j/k Jimmy!!  )
ps: Only fair to point out that it was Jim that got me started in bass fishing!

Guys, first off thanks for the compliment. It's really nice to see good friends who share the same passion I have for fishing that are getting better each time they get out, plus more fishing partners to wet a line with. Second of all, I don't "claim" about any fish I lose when I have actually seen the fish break me off so I know it wasn't a big slimedart or snapping turtle and those are usually the ones that were so impressively big that I don't forget those and I have been bass fishing for almost 30 years. The difference between Mark (Just4fun) and I is he actually catches the lunkers when he has a camera ready while when I bring a camera I've already jinxed myself before the day even starts!  He has gotten tremendously good at fishing in the short time doing it. Kind of reminds me of me when I first started. As for Ron let's just say he is my work in progress! He is getting better now that I've finally convinced him to buy the right set-ups for the situations and teaching him the basics of certain techniques. Just gotta teach him now on better hook-sets than the wimpy ones that have cost him fish already. I don't want to say too much about Ron because he is a big boy 6'4"+ and if his head gets any bigger the boat WILL definitely flip. All in all both of you guys make my fishing trips more enjoyable and I can't ask for more than that, Thanks guys!

| They cut me off while I was twitching a swimbait in 4-6fow. As I paused to yell and shake my rod at the ducks the bait got sucked under big time. |

Hmmm........sounds like the start of a new technique. Find ducks, toss swimbait, find big bass! Good to see you posting again Nick.
