Dadgummit! Sorry I missed this. Yesterday, I caught em on all 3 levels, topwater, crankbait (8-10') and worm, Texas style, natural colors. Good luck!

We did. Just started raining with a little thunder. Everyone around here was kinda concerned. Thanks again and g'night.

Know what? I've been watching the weather pretty much ever since Friday when this storm front started. Even with 100% chance of heavy thunderstorms, we've had zero bad weather and a total of maybe 2" of rain. Of course, I'm getting better at NOT busting my backside all day, every day and actually ran down for a couple of hours late this afternoon. Got wet a couple of times, but no lightning, little wind, 66° water. It's gonna be a busy week, so I've been cramming worm time the past few days. We consider this the ultimate blessing at this time in our lives, busy but completely happy. Count to Tay was 6 in the boat, missed probably a dozen, saw more awesome nature stuff. Thanks for the Stage family weather head's up. We'll watch out.
👍🙏🙂☔❤️🎣🌩️

Big dang hug of gratitude and friendship, sir. Grabbed another opportunity to go fisheratin last night before this round of storms started. Super worn out from yard stuff, but fishin therapy is the best! I was blessed with some awesome nature stuff and several bassfolks. Have a blessed Sunday, my friend.

I'm glad you like my stuff. Snakes. I apparently have no fear of em. When I was probably 13, I remember swimming here in Roaring River at the "dam hole" with friends. A snake was swimming towards Wilda who started screaming, so I got all heroic and snatched it. Flung it away, but he did nip me for screwing up his journey. Felt like a wasp sting. That's all I recall about the bite, but I do remember Wilda bein very fond of me afterwards. Woohoo!

Y'know what? I don't keep track of em. I'm not a guy who'll say he's good at anything, but I s'pose I have a knack for pome'n. My bride has a stash of mushy ones from back in the day. She encourages me to do a blog or something that'd actually bring me a reward for what she calls talent. I wouldn't know how to do that, and since I'm opposed to actual social media like FB where are the nasty folks dump their spew, I'm kindy limited to hoping (privately) somebody would say "hey Mikey. Come pome for us!" Juan can hope, can't Juan? And by now ya gots to know my heart is full from living here. So full.

Nice bass. That's what I go for. Nice bass. I feel bad for, and have talked to, guys who obsess over BIG bass. You'n the rest of the Stage Fam arta know by now I'm not a trophy seeker. Even the one that measured as small as, well, small 😳 made me smile. Thank you, friend.

Sometimes I hesitate to pome about my fisheratin time. My wife has said, jokingly, "that's the same fish!". I do enjoy showing her the vague differences in each of em, as unique as we folks above water. Your kind words are like fuel to my pome'n fingers.

I looked at the radar all loaded with storms,
The lightning was keepin me home.
My worm was sure twitchin,
For me to go fitchin,
Providing me fodder for pomes.
I told my bud down at the dock I was comin,
He told me that I'd lost my mind.
The lightning diminished,
I fished til I finished,
And left lots of bass behind.
With sprinkles that dimpled the flat, glassy lake,
I truly enjoyed every cast.
I landed a few,
A nice one or two,
And had a cool snake slither past.

I have no secrets.

I LOVE rain fishin. I've said it before but it's worth repeating my wife's remark - the fish are already wet!

Thank you, and believe me, friend, I'm fightin the urge bigly right now!!

The best bass I've caught when I was 15,
Was during a thunderstorm, know what I mean?
When rain's in the area, thundering low,
My worm starts its twitchin, ready to go.
A window is open right now in the sky,
I'm fightin the fish urge, I cannot deny.
I have common sense, tho, so go I will not,
But I bet you, Stagers, that fishin is hot!

Thanks you, FT! Subject matter here is amazing!

Well, it's 5:30 in the morning here and I'm tickled to know that.
