I fully intend to be there . I will be in the Campground on site 13 to sleep ?? It was a blast last year and meeting a bunch of the guy's for the first time was great.
Will you be attending?

You're welcome " That's what We do" 🤗🤗🤗.
This is a fine bunch who love to share! I'm proud to be apart of this stage! Good luck with the new line and show us some pics of the catches. 🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸🇺🇲🇺🇲🙏

They do have there moments( cigars) . One time last summer the wind blew my braid back in my face after a catch while the line was loose and while trying to weigh a fish and the line hit mt cigar and it burned thru which resulted in about 8 feet of line gone and having to restring my rod. "Just sayn'" . A fellow's gotta be careful out there!!! 🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸🇺🇲🇺🇲🙏

Got a few today , I think I got just as many to the yac and they did a self release. They were hitting very soft in this wind, just little slurps not really any blow ups. But it's coming my pad field has shoots just breaking the water. Won't be long now!!! Got 6 for the day. 🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸🇺🇲🇺🇲🙏

Great job bk, nice looking bunch of fish. Little cold and windy on my side of the state. I'll put up my day soon! 🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸🇺🇲🇺🇲🙏

I use Power Pro in green for my frog rods , I get it at Walmart bout $ 14:00 for 30' 40' and 50# braid the 65# is up around $ 18:00 . I use 40 and 50# this year and since I'm fishing heavy pads every time out I reverse it on the reel in about a months time. It's strong and cuts thru pads well . Don't really mess with it on spinning reels except for the fall and I just spool on used 40# and run a mono leader of 6# for perch and Crappie. I did get a spool of Temu 40# 8 strand bright green and have it on a backup reel that I just put into use. It's very supple and soft yet feels good to cast. Jury still out on that. Don't remember what kind it was but it was very inexpensive. 🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸🇺🇲🇺🇲🙏

You reap what you sow, however you just don't eat fish🤪🤪🤪 have a great day!! 🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸🇺🇲🇺🇲🙏

Good day for you too , nothing beats getting out catching. The season is in full swing now and as soon as my pads fully form into definite shapes the big uns will take up residency . Can't wait for that!!! 🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸🇺🇲🇺🇲🙏

Got to Red Cross launch this morning about 9 am , tried the patches of pads first and nothing so I started to fish the shore line and Bingo that's where they were today . NNW wind had it's moments but fairly light compared to what we've been getting. First one 2&1/2 pounder second one a little over 3# and I quit weighing after that. Surprise !!!! 🎉 I caught my first Rock bass on a frog, this fish was really pretty sorry my camera didn't do it justice. Finished off with the " Little Black Frog" tied on at 3 and headed for home. Grass to mow🥴🥴🥴 more like a hay field!!! Won't get out for next 3 days ( work)
Probably have to get retrained to learn how to fish missing that much time. My 3# er trashed my Lews KVD 8:1 to 1 reel it had been making noise when I went to Rip Lips this year , drag is a tight as it goes. This time it dack clicked 3 times in a row so I beached and switched it out with a cheapie 8:3 to 1 from Temu not as smooth but when I Ripped the next sets of lips she held fast. Always something to make things interesting around my days fishing. 🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸🇺🇲🇺🇲🙏

The wind died down here in late afternoon and around 4 pm I headed out for Edinboro Lake. Got there and a big dark cloud was hovering real close. By the time I got on the water and about a quarter mile up to the pads all heck broke loose so there I sat hunkered down under my big golf umbrella ( save the cigar) . This lasted about 20-25 minutes so as soon as it broke I started casting away. I was using a big popper that I don't usually use and nothing was even making an attempt so I switched to my lighter pole with my Booyah jr. Popper .
A few cast later in an isolated patch of pads this bass shot up thru some matted crap came completely out of the water and choked my frog . No trouble getting her in 4.56 #s . And just to show I'm not prejudice on how big a Bass has to be to get a pic of , well my second bass was really small. That was it for the day wind picked up again and dark thirty rolled on the lake. I'll take it for a few hrs of frogn' in nasty weather. Sorry bout the pics something going on when I upload to my phone???????? 🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸🇺🇲🇺🇲🙏

Like fishn' in a western movie. Looks like you Guys had a blast. Good for you!!! 🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸🇺🇲🇺🇲🙏

Love to see ya out in the rain my friend, fish don't care if it's raining but there sure seems to be a lot more elbow room as the crowd disperses quick. Just more fish for us 🤪. Fish on just keep an eye on the sky for the thunder/ Bolts. That's when I beach and wait it out. Keep on fishn'.🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸🇺🇲🇺🇲🙏

Sorry for the double I couldn't remember if I hit send🤔🤔🤔🤔🥴🥴🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸🇺🇲🇺🇲🙏

Got to the launch about 9 , the place was already a zoo. And I expected nothing less for a Saturday. My first fish came pretty quickly then I had to go hunting, not for fish but for a place that no one was . Lost a few today also ended up with 9 . I was throwing a black popping frog for most and I don't know what brand it is but it has awesome hooks. 🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸🇺🇲🇺🇲🙏

I don't mind the cold or rain if the wind isn't howling . If it is I'm not going. It was warm enough to be comfortable so the rain is no problem , I put a baggie over mt camera phone to keep it dry . 🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸🇺🇲🇺🇲🙏
