I was really happy to hear back from Bill. He was headed to Lake of the Woods with family and wanted a couple of tips so I was happy to point the way. Those of you who have read this blog know that we have had days where we would catch well over a 100 smallmouth in a day, not to mention some largemouth, pike, walleye, and even the occasional muskie.
I am so happy it worked out for you. I have strived to try to provide real, truthful, information that can help folks catch fish. Not only is it great when it works out for folks, it really has helped me be a better fisherman. There is to much lying, deception, and posing in fishing today. It is supposed to be fun and I like hearing about folks results as much as I like making my own. So thanks for remembering, it was great to hear from you and we will be waiting for next years report. Hopefully a muskie will be in somebodies future.

One thing I would like to say about Bill’s report, I appreciate receiving it. Over the last 6 years I have tried to answer each and every request and question. One thing I consistently hear is, “Thanks, will let you know.” Guess how often that actually happens? Maybe 1 out of 5 times, so when one comes back it makes it worth it. And hey, it does not matter if it was tough, we all have those days. So anytime you went to send a report or comment bring it on.

And speaking of the kind of reports I love getting here is one from Joe.
He read the how-to on the Redfish Magic and actually went out, bought one, and then made it work. I love it when that happens. And it catches just about everything in the salt and it seems when you catch a flounder on it generally it is a good to big one. So thanks to Joe, let us know what else you catch as you learn to fish it. And who knows, I will be in Florida in a couple of months, maybe I will catch one while I am there.

And I did forget something I wanted to tell you about if you have a Dick’s Sporting Goods near you. I love to shop there, not because anyone in the fishing department has a clue, but because occasionally there are some great deals, even better if you hunt for them. Not sure your store has them but the new double buzzer by the same company that makes the Whopper Plopper is on sale. That thing looks mean and will fish through anything. Normally they are $16.99 but they are 3 for like $6.50 apiece if you buy 3. Great deal on a buzzbait that has big fish written all over it. It would be dangerous to throw in Canada! And while I was there I found an unmarked bait caster that was $59.99 and it was clearance at $19.00. Now reels in this price range don’t last, unless you get a good one and it does happen, so I buy them when I see them, use them, and then in the trash they go. I have 3 or 4 right now waiting to be used, so it is a cheap way to keep stocked up.

During the prime May – August period I rarely fish the weekends, there is enough confusion without me adding to it. So I usually spend time watching fishing. But hunting season is coming, dove opens up soon. And when that happens things really quiet down on the water then I am up to fish about anytime. Today the Cowboys play later and they are looking good. But being a Cub fan, I have learned my lesson but hope springs eternal. Now that this is posted I am headed to the tackle room to do a little organization in preparation of getting back on the water. So keep stopping in and thanks for reading my stuff.
Good Luck and Tight Lines
