I was fishing a popper and the guy i was with fished a buzzbait with no luck sat or sun but after fishing topwater for about 30 min with no bites switched back to plastics. Weird maybe they where biting topwater in some areas but not others or we didnt spend enough time fishing topwater. Later jc

Maybe it was the time of day...maybe I was holding my mouth the right way...who knows? You can't go wrong this time of year flipping watermelon/red flake plastics along the shoreline! Good times!

I fished Sunday morning for a few hours and caught around 20 bass, with 4 keepers being in there. Fish were pretty much hitting whatever was thrown their way, caught them on a crankbait, pop-r and a spinnerbait. The better fish came on a spinnerbait.

Also, you have to love when you are working your way down a bank and you are about 40 yards from an obvious point you are wanting to hit and a Ranger pulls right up in front of you and stops right on that point and looks back at you like "what?" The laugh was on them though bc not only did they not catch one fish off that point, I kind of put the trolling motor a little higher and pushed them off it faster than they wanted to. Then proceeded to catch 6 fish on 6 casts right next to them, 2 being keepers. Then the guy has the audacity to ask me what I'm catching them on.

The lake wasnt that crowded. If i see someone headed down a bank towards a point i would bypass that point and find one of the other 100 points not being fished. But thats my point of view and as to how far away to be before cutting in front of another boat i guess to each his own but i have never had anyone complain to me that i cut too close in front of them.

I agree. Common courtesy you would think, especially considering there wasn't another boat within sight of either of us. And it wasn't like they were in a tournament or anything bc they were not wearing their life jackets when they pulled up. But like you said, to each their own. They did get to enjoy watching me catch 6 fish off their point they were in a hurry to get to.

I would have answered "Courtesy,,,but you obviously don't carry that on your boat".
