Explanation for lack of blogging and fishing reports..

No excuse is a good excuse for not fishing, but…..  Travel and a garage project has kept me from taking my boat out of storage and getting out fishing again in April.  Today was a productive day towards finish needed garage activities to free up garage.  Tomorrow, I may try to take my 2 year old daughter out for  a short shore fishing trip if the weather is nice, this would be her first time fishing.

In the meantime, here is another fishing video to entertain you.  This is a preview/teaser for episode #5 of “All About Bass” – The Bass Closer.  I think you will find this pretty entertaining!

If you like it, give it as thumbs up and/or comment on YouTube!  Congrats to Skeet Reese for his win on Smith Mountain and Glenn Browne for his win on Tellico / Fort Loudin today.

Until next time!

Late Fall Smallmouth Trip

This past Sunday looked to be a nice day, I still had not winterized my boat and I figured the Vikings playing the Lions was the equivalent of a second consecutive bye week.  All this added up to a smallmouth trip in my boat.  All in all, I caught 8 or 9 pretty nice smallmouths and a northern, no giants but a pretty good day.  Water temps were 40-42 degrees.

I caught one nice fish on a Sexy Shad Red Eye Shad Lipless crank, another on a Scrougner head / fluke combo, the rest of my fish came on a 3.5″ Coffee Tube rigged on a 1/8″ Tube Jig head.

This outing also served as an opportunity to get some filming done for a future All About Bass episode.  So enjoy a few of the raw footage of a few of the fish catches!  With the cool temps and the frigid water, my Akinetix Moisture wicking undershirt, Multi-Sport Gloves and AK Beanie were integral in keeping comfortable and grabbing the chilly smallies from the water.  Now, I think I need to get my boat out once more…….

This should have me caught up….

Last Saturday we stayed at a friend’s cabin on Thunder Lake near Remer MN.  Got to go fishing for about 3 hours in the afternoon, it was the first time that I went fishing this year that I was not filming, practicing for or actually fishing a tournament.  Wow, how time flies during our short summers.  I ended up catching 7 largemouth, 1 smallmouth and a bunch or Rock Bass in that short time.  Most fish came on a Ring Fry around reeds, with a couple coming off the deeper drops on a mojo rig.  Kind of nice, just to go fishing, no strings attached other then an early curfew
Lake Fork Ring-Fry  or Baby Ring-Fry  Softbaits
As for this weekend, I was planning to fish the last Bassmaster Weekend Series tourney out of Alma, then last minute decided not to.  Got a ton of stuff going on at work and big family vacation to Spain right afterward.  So this weekend will be preparation for that and probably another short Fun Fishing excursion on Sunday.  Possibility to shoot some more footage for “All About Bass”.

For those of you still looking to score some sweet deals on some great baits.  Check out the following offer.
Every Saturday night from 8 PM to 9 PM Central time on its Website (www.secretweaponlures.com), Secret Weapon is running a one-hour “Saturday Night Special.”
