Deer Season 2015 Deer season has been a tale of two stories. Those who hunted the traditional “pay dirt” stands/blinds saw few mature bucks and it was no mystery why as the doe traffic around the field edges was greatly reduced in spite of more food available than ever before. I spent my time hunting back in the woods mostly…
Cold Front on the Way. Time to Fish! Last Wednesday just felt like a day to skip supper and sneak in a few hrs of fishing before dark. Clouds were gathering and rain seemed imminent. The next day a blast of cool air was predicted; it seemed like a good time for the bass to put on the feedbag. I…
Fishing Good Heading into August The fish are really liking the heat and stable weather conditions. It has been a couple of weeks since the last good rain and that normally makes for some good fishing here at Angler’s. This morning I fished with my friend, Tye Bell. In 4.5 hrs we caught 17 bass including a five pounder. Most…
We Missed the Floods! Yesterday the phone just kept ringing, and it became apparent that a lot of folks are finding it difficult to get on their favorite body of water to fish. High, muddy water everywhere has closed many ramps and makes for some difficult fishing. We got plenty of rain here at Angler’s Paradise but avoided the catastrophic…
Rains Still Not Hurting the Fishing The lake remains clear and full as we face 10 more days of 30 to 100% chance of rain. Fishing is good to excellent as the storms approach and the rain falls. Fishing is at least different if not tuff depending on how strong the front was. One recent trip had the bad luck…
Lots of Rain – No Toad Stranglers Yet We have thus far escaped the really devastating rains that muddy the entire lake and take weeks to drain off. That means that the fishing has cycled up and down each time a front passes. That’s not to say that the fish don’t bite when the sun comes out and the wind…
Bass Up Shallow I really messed up yesterday. I had two boats on the water and planned to finish prepping the 3rd boat, then go check on the fishermen. What I thought would be a one hr repair turned into 4 hrs, and the clients were coming off the water by the time I got started fishing. The guests reported…
March 2015 Two Facebook updates from March. Seven pounder caught in Black Perch Bay last Monday. Does the location surprise anyone?? Yesterday was a March rarity at Angler’s Paradise. A string of beautiful, sunny weather crossed paths with two groups of Angler’s who could break away long enough to be here before the next fit of cold air hit. Both…
