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…
July 2014 Sorry so long since the last update. It’s tuff enough to keep up with the phone, e-mail, fishing reports and Facebook when fishing season starts, but throw in hay baling and something has to slide. Fishing remains good to spectacular. No monsters have been caught this month, but plenty of fish have been reported; mostly on plastic worms.…
Summer Almost Here Fishing continues to be steady to spectacular. I got to fish with a long-time customer this morning. This man and I have fished together for about 16 years nearly as I can tell. We have laughed a lot and on occasion, we have wept as we mourned the loss of a couple of our fishing buddies. He…
Spring 2014 Last weekend we finally had a convergence of fishermen and shallow bass. It was not a perfect match up but lasted long enough to put a couple of big bass in the boat. The only willing crappie were about 7 feet deep over 30 feet of water. Go figure… I landed an 8 pounder on the old beaver…
