Big bass caught at Burr Oak!
May 16th, 2012Out of the Boat!
May 14th, 2012One hot summer day in Florida my friend was working on his boat. While I am not a drinker, a beer sounded very good. Since he was drinking one, I said hey can I have one of those? He said sure. So, I took a small sip and remembered why I didn’t drink. I said I’m sorry but I can’t drink this, he said OK I will finish it. Then he asked me to hand him a wrench that was on the trailer. I was already in the boat so I just leaned over to get the wrench and fell out of the boat. He said I sure am glad you didn’t drink the whole beer if that is what a sip does to you. He laughed until he had tears in his eyes. Of course, the beer had nothing to do with me falling out of the boat. I heard about that for years. 
Slow Bite at Rushcreek!
May 13th, 2012Joe went fishing Saturday with our friend Al at Rushcreek. There were lot of boats there. In 6 hours they caught 4 bass. Joe caught three and Al caught one. Joe caught a decent one that went about 2 1/2 pounds but the others were small. It was pretty rough fishing, tough bite. The crappie wasn’t biting like he thought they would be.

April 30th, 2012Where is that old reliable lure?
April 29th, 2012I was thinking about all the lures that I used to use and caught bass with that I don’t even own anymore. They are not even in my tackle bag or anywhere else. The ones that I do own, I don’t use and was thinking to myself, why is that?
Let me give you one example, the Mister Twister Twintail, chartreuse color. I caught hundreds of bass with this lure years ago and haven’t used one or owned one in years now. Why is that?
How about Kelly’s Striper Worms? I had a friend who used them and caught so many bass with one that I started using them close to 25 years ago. He used the red and white color and I used the purple and white. Haven’t used one regularly in years. Why is that?
I could go on about this mentioning lure after lure that I don’t use anymore. I was in Florida using a Kelly’s striper worm and the guy I was fishing with says, “you might catch something up North on that but you won’t catch anything here in the South on it”. I caught two bass with it while he was telling me that.
Here is the thing….even though I knew it caught bass, I listened to him and started using something else when in Florida. Also, I have never heard of a Pro using a Kelly’s Striper Worm or a Mister Twister. So What? I had proof they worked and worked well catching bass!
Jim, my friend who used the red and white Kelly Striper caught an 8 pounder, 2 six pounders all in the same day with it. I have seen him catch bass like that constantly with it over the years. That is why I started using it.
Today, I am going to find a Mister Twister and Kelly’s Worm and other lures and start using them on a regular basis. I have proof they work, positive proof, I have used them and caught big bass and lots of bass on them. My best day ever was on a Kelly worm, 76 bass in 4 hours. I must be an idiot to not us them anymore.

Swan kills man in Illinois!
April 17th, 2012Well, a man was in a kayak went near a swan’s nest filled with her babies. The swan kept flying towards the man and eventually the man’s kayak tipped over. Every time the man would come up for air the swan would go after him and not let him come up. Eventually, the man drowned.
The man’s family was the swan mother to be destroyed even though the man was not wearing a life jacket.
