The last three times I have been out I have caught ONE bass total. I talked to a guy at a lake boat ramp yesterday and he had been fishing from 6:30 AM until 2:30 PM and he hadn't caught a one and he wasn't a flunky. He had ALL the gear and knowledge of a better bass fisherman... and had been fishing that lake for 30 years since he was a kid.
I even talked to 8 crappie fishermen there and they had a total of ONE crappie amongst them.
What's going on ????????????

Did you have the large mouth, two legged variety, with you?
No, Since he threw dynomite in the water and scared me half to death, we dont let him fish.
He could have at least warned me.
He said he learned to fish that way when he was running with you.

BOO and I fished all afternoon, and not a bite. At about dark we were about to quit and I caught two bass within a min of each other. I really thought they would be biting today

Hold on, where did you stand at? up on the hill? man, that water still has to be mighty high and muddy. I'd LOVE to see us have one good April again. I don't think we'll ever seen another one!

the concrete slab was under water, but we were able to walk down the rocks and cast out. the water was extremely ruff and we didnt stay long. it was pretty much just an excuse to fish for a while. i am wondering if the water is down yet, havent been out there to check it out. i plan on going back monday
