Joseph Treats New In-laws

Joseph Shannon Cole treated his father-in-law, Scott and brother-in-law, Dan to a day on Lake Fork.

Of the twelve fish boated, Dan and Scott caught the majority.  Joseph didn't want it any other way so it was a successful day.

The fish were caught on watermelon/candy/red lizards.  The largest fish being 6lbs.1oz. was caught on  a zoom finnesse worm. 

Thanks guys...come back and see me !

First Time Fishing for Bass

Suzi Stark has fished for many species of fish but this was her 1st time to bass fish.

Starting the morning out right, on her first cast she caught a 4lb.13oz. bass.  On her second cast she caught a 6lb. 9oz. bass !!  That got her fired up and she went on to catch several more bass during the day.

Good job Suzi !  Come back soon, I enjoyed the day.

Mini Tournament Amongst Friends

Wednesday we had 35 mile an hour winds and a short time to fish.  The friendly tournament was on it's way.  We had less than 6 hours to fish so Matt and David went to work.  They landed 6 bass with Matt catching a 5lb.9oz largemouth.  They won their tournament !  Good job guys !!!  Come see me again, I enjoyed the day !

Uncle Treats Nephew to Fishing Trip

David Robinson took his nephew, Michael on a fishing trip to Lake Fork. This was the first time to bass fish for both of them. 

David caught a 4lb.1oz. and Michael caught a 4lb.3oz. for their largest bass ever !

We were using watermelon with red flake flukes and finesse worms.

Thank you for choosing me as your guide.  Hopefully we'll see each other in the future.  Happy Fishing !!

Tough Day Fishing

I'm back on track today.  I took Jordan Zurn and Collin Huddleston fishing today.  It was very tough. We caught 9 fish.  I think the fish are on beds and aren't paying attention to baits, however Jordan caught a 4.9 and Collin caught a 4.8.  We are using a short leader carolina rig with a watermelon/red flake fluke. 

Everyday is a good day when you're fishing.  Thank you Jordan and Collin!

Brothers Double

I'm a day behind in my postings.  This guide trip was actually Saturday the 19th.

I took Randy and Jim Young out and it was actually tough fishing.  We caught nine
but Jim did catch a 7lb. 9oz. bass the same time his brother Randy caught a solid 3
pounder.

I have to tell this funny story about Jim.  Sorry Jim!  When I took Jim's picture with
his 7lb. 9oz. bass, I notice his life jacket was on inside out.  I asked him  "how did
you get in your life jacket"? He said "I put it over my head and slid into it".  I asked
"how did you get it zipped"?  He said "it wasn't easy"!

We had a good time.  Thank you Jim and Randy.  Great fun!

Nine Plus Pounds

I took Steve Nielsen and Kevin Porche out today.  This morning was really slow.  We

did manage to boat approximately 18 fish including a 9lb. 9oz. kicker.  What fun that was!

We were throwing watermelon/red flake flukes at the bank and bringing back into about 4 foot of water using a short leader carolina rig with watermelon/red
flake flukes.

Suspended Fish

Had a great time today, Wednesday, March 16th with Ken Bueche and son, Mike. 

We caught  approximately 25 fish and everyone  of them were nice chunky fish.
Mike was thrilled with his 7 pounder and I caught a 7lb. 4oz. 

We caught these fish suspended in trees with a rogue.  What fun we had.

Shallow Fishing

Had a pretty good day today considering conditions.  The fish are pre-spawn to spawn and very timid.

We went from heavy weight carolina rigs to very light, short carolina rigs.  We were fishing shallow and very very slow, casting blindly at the bank.

I had a father-son party.  The dad lost about a 5 pounder at the boat.  He turned to his son and said "that was catch and release".  The son replied to the dad, "you're suppose to get the fish IN the boat before releasing".  There was a lot of kidding going on during the day.  Very enjoyable.  Good fishing to all!!

8lbs.1oz
