I lost an absolute toad this morning in Cypress. Swimming a vibe just off the bottom and, tick. I set the hook into a rock that did not move, it started stripping drag so I locked the spool down with my thumb to keep her out of the buggy whips, it made a 5 foot diameter swirl just below the surface and spit the hook....possibly the biggest fish of my life, and I never saw her....

That's awesome, I know we still have a couple of weeks left in the season, but that's a great way to close it out .

I had a fun spinnerbait day today and had no idea that Walt has been wearing them out all month until I read this thread!

Barry tuned me into them 3 weeks ago and I've been throwing them into lay downs, wood, everything. I bought a spinner bait with painted blades and knocked most of the paint off of one of them. It's been a fun month.

Nice pictures that place looks fishy but I wish you did not use that word "skunk"

I wish I did not use that word either.

On my outing today I came across this uniquely shaped bass. It's back was like a 4lbr, but the rest of its body was like that of a 2.5br.

** this is not a measured fish, I just put it on the board to show it's body.

Deadeye · April 23, 2021, 05:07:25 AM

Well it was as I thought a Coil was bad making one cylinder not fire. Part is ordered and should have boat back by next Thursday or so.

Capt. BassinLou · April 23, 2021, 05:28:45 AM

Long day in store for today. Looking forward to the outing, starting later than I want, but my BIL needs his beauty sleep...

I'll check in tonight. Later.

While they have my boat I'm going to let them raise it one hole.

It was way to low from the original Dealer that mounted the motor. It was in the 2nd hole down giving me a Prop to Pad of 4.5-4.75.

I talked to a Ranger Engineer and my boat left Ranger with no motor. The Dealer installed it.

The Ranger Guy told me they install them All on the 3rd hole down at the factory.

Raising it should raise my RPMs from 5250 closer to the 5750 it maxes at.

Eventually I'd like to add a Jack plate to fine tune it but that's not in the cards right now.

Just a cool pic I took while walking Hootie yesterday. A perfect example of our confused weather this spring.

Looks like Snoopy!

Up and About.

Plan to take the Yak out this morning to try and get a Cull or two.

Capt. BassinLou · April 27, 2021, 02:26:49 PM

The end of the month basically boils down to tomorrow for me. I'm going to swing for the fences again..... I'm getting tired of having to do that, but sometimes one might get lucky and hit a homer.

Good luck Lou, you always have a shot at a big old girl in Florida!

Thanks George, lets see what happens.

Moon is bright, and the wind is blowing out of the East already. This should be fun.

FD · April 28, 2021, 05:33:58 AM

Take a nap this morning. The bite won't start until 11...
