Thanks John this is excellent

That lake is so peaceful until you realize it’s just train after train after train.

Hope you enjoy -Brett

Thanks Brian! I think our late April St. Clair trip is still up in the air. I will still go we may be down a couple boats.

Went for one more spin around this lake looking for ore spawn bass but the toothy guys were too much.

Went to a lake I haven’t fished in about 7 years. It produced great bass for me then. But something else is now dominating this small lake.

Great stuff gentleman. Time on the water is the most important for sure. I remember when I first read the green book, went to a spoonpluggers meeting, put all my old fishing gear away and started over with a trolling rod, spoonplug, and a casting rod with some blades and jigs. I was so excited for t...

John that is some mighty fine stuff that Buck put on paper. He definitely did think it through and what he says is undeniable and always will be.

Glad you did this John. Hope you do it again this year. I know you’re already off to a great start with the warm early January we had. Question, I know on one of your shad lakes you had some astounding early spring catches. Numbers and size. Understanding every year can be different, can you tell us...

Tom, I’ll give my thoughts and hope others comment also. First, I approach Northern and Bass a little different. Maybe I should cast a bit more for Northern but I’ve found I’m much more productive with Northern on the troll. This varies, however, based on the weather/water conditions and for me it a...

Therm was still close to 12ft at that time but beginning to drop. I prefer to use a straight retrieve very close to bottom w the A-rig although there are times when jigging it can be effective. But straight retrieve here close to bottom and on that particular spot I was anchored in 10-12 casting to ...

Awesome. Welcome back!

At it again. Getting into the fall transition and things are changing.

Back at it trying to zone in on the largemouth on a 9700 acre natural lake.
