    We hit up our favorite small mouth lake and managed a few decent fish. Best fish of the day was the first fish caught right near the boat ramp. One of the toughest lakes we fish, But this time we did pretty well.

    Went out for about an hour tonight to refresh after a hectic day at work. The only bass to be had until they all got lock jaw. (Let's just say it's the unsettled weather approaching.;))

    Awesome pic's, Keep em coming!! :)

    The bass have been suspending with the warmer temps. Been a bit tougher on us lately. We have been getting them with swimbaits(slow fall) and top water. Top water is such a hoot when they crash the bait!
