Summer 2012 Update Posted on August 19, 2012 Fishing remains a struggle. Seems that they are always biting, it just takes a lot of casts/trial and error to figure out what they want. Yesterday I fished for 4.5 hrs without catching a fish and only muffed one solid pickup. I tried the tried and true lures/spots before going against the…
Food, Friends, Fishing, & Fun Great couple of partial days fishing with my best fishing partner, Kevmo. We were joined by our lifelong friend for a picnic lunch and dinner at Chicken Mary’s. Fished 8 hrs and boated 17 fish. I had the big one at 4 lbs. Wacky worm still working best. Water temp 77. Lake is full and…
April 26, 2012 Had some great fishing last week. Two customers reported >40 fish days. Several sightings of big fish, none locked on beds. One fish spotted that was “the biggest bass I ever saw”. No small statement from my friend who has landed a 10.75# bass and has been in the boat with a 12.25# bass. I had a…
4-21-12 Self-guided client caught 44 on Thursday w/ a 4+ lb fish. A full day of guiding two fishermen new to AP yesterday. Figured it would be tuff w/ the cooler weather and wind out of the north, but the two boated 26 bass, lost a 5+ lb that never got stung and broke off 2 other fish we never…

Fishing was slow, but improving when I hooked this one on the last cast of the day. Fishing thru the week was good, but no big fish were caught.…
Fish or Hunt for Sheds? Fishing or shed hunting? That was my dilemma this afternoon. A quick inspection of the temp revealed 50 degrees w/ 5-10 mph winds, weather much more suited to a walk in the woods. Shelley had just been to town and noted that the cows were all laying down. In this household that’s a sure sign…
Winter Fishing Got to go fishing for 3 hrs Wed. afternoon, 2/22. Wind had turned to the north, but it was still sunny and warm (60’s). Fish did not seem to mind the north wind. I caught 6 bass in 2.5 hrs, just no biguns. I caught 9 keeper crappie in the other 30 minutes of fishing. Water temp was…
