Gotfishyfingers?

I'm game for a get together to.

Nice job! I was out there yesterday to. It was pretty tough with the wind. I only managed to catch a few dinks and I was all over that place. Going to check out Holy lands tomorrow. Anyone else fishing tomorrow?

So who's fishing lake O' this weekend? I'm thinking tomorrows weather would be better to fish then Sundays weather.

Here is a write up I've read that I just read, cliff perch will be be fishing both FLW and Bassmasters. Cliff Pirch hopes to fish both major professional circuits in 2013. But if finances limit him to one, it'll be the Bassmaster Elite Series. The Arizona pro, a five-time Forrest Wood Cup qualifier and winner of the 2011 Chickamauga FLW Tour Major, will accept the invitation to fish the Elites that stemmed from his 2nd-place finish in this year's Northern Open points. "I just think it opens up a few more sponsor opportunities," he said. "I still have a lot of good friends at FLW and I'll still fish there when I can, but this seems like the better direction for me right now. "I'm not ruling out fishing the FLW Tour on top of the Elites, but I'll have to see how things go sponsorship-wise to figure out if I can pull it off. I fished 19 or 20 events this year and even though there were times I wished I'd had more practice, it worked out okay overall." Consistency will be Key Pirch was a boom-or-bust competitor for most of his 8 seasons on the FLW Tour. He averaged more than one Top-10 showing per year, but only twice finished higher than 27th in the Angler of the Year (AOY) race. One of those occasions was this year, when he ended up 12th in the points. He logged just one Top 10 (a 9th at the Potomac River), but never fared worse than 64th. He also performed well in a couple of non-tour events, coming within a quarter-ounce of winning his third WON Bass U.S. Open at Nevada's Lake Mead in September. He hopes to carry his newfound consistency with him to the Elite Series. "The (Bassmaster) Classic is a big part of your season over there and you want to make sure you're a part of that event, but the biggest thing for me is I want to maximize my opportunities," he said. "That'll be my main goal, and I've done a lot better in that department over the last year and a half or 2 years. "In the past I've been more of a home-run guy, but I'm going to be in a situation where I need to cash checks, so consistency will be a lot more important. I'll swing hard if I get the chance and do the things that win tournaments, but I won't always gamble on an all-in deal, even though that occasionally works out. A lot of times a Roboworm on a dropshot or a jighead worm can keep you in check range." From a competition standpoint, he doesn't expect to see a big change between where he came from and where he's going. "I know there's some really tough competitors on the B.A.S.S. side, and those guys are there for a reason. But at the same time, I don't think it's going to be a lot different than going up against Jay Yelas, Brent Ehrler and David Dudley – you're still competing against the world's best. "If you have a good week, you have a good week. It doesn't matter that much who else is there. There's some phenomenal competition (on the Elite Series), but where I've been is pretty darn tough." Less Time on the Road One apparent benefit for Pirch in 2013 will be spending more time at home. Two Elite events are in Texas, which is a relatively short trip compared to what he's accustomed to, and he's looking at fishing the new Outdoor Heritage circuit, which will offer four events in Arizona or southern Nevada from January through May. He also might sign up for a Western EverStart or two. Of course, if the two-tour possibility comes to fruition, that'll involve a lot more highway miles and perhaps an occasional plane ride. That's what he's used to, though, as he and his family have been away from home for well over half of 2012 (daughters Kailee, 10, and Kassidy, 7, are home-schooled and travel with him and wife Alicia in a motorhome). They've been back in Arizona for about a week now, and the plan is to stay there through the holidays and into the new year. The only thing on the immediate agenda is elk hunting – he'll do some on his own or with friends and will also host several week-long guided trips. "We bring people in to hunt and put them up at the house, and my wife does the cooking," he said. "We used to do a lot more of that kind of thing, and we're kind of getting back into it. We'll probably do four this season."

show up and you will have a chance to take a picture with whatever angler you want.

Tight work!!!! :respect-059:

Check out lake Kissimmee!

Nice bronze backs!

Nice South Fla!!!! Is that the glades?

I say it depends on the region your in. FL has to be double digits..

I don' t know about fall pattern but down here in s Florida I seen beds as early as October.

Florida strain bass have a metabolism like no other.

Good deal!!!!!

Yozuri lures !!!!! cast, jerk twitch, pause twitch jerk, fish on, repeat!!!! Peacocks like a fast erratic style presentation normally. Live bait works great to.

Living in FL. It's easy to fish 365..

Lady Pamela??? Their are out of ft. lauderdale, That is pretty far from Kendall.

Nice boat Shane. Did you get it in GA.? That fishfinder looks like a nice one to. What year? Were you able to keep the other boat?

"Skywatchers should circle Friday (Aug. 31) on their calendars, for the date offers the last chance to see a so-called "blue moon" for nearly three years. The moon reaches its full phase at 9:58 a.m. EDT (1358 GMT) Friday, marking the second full moon of August (the previous one occurred Aug. 1). Stargazers won't be able to see two full moons in a single month again until July 2015. Friday's full moon won't actually be blue, unless a load of dust or ash in the atmosphere lends it that particular hue from your vantage point. In any event, blue moons aren't named for their color, and they look like any other full moon in the sky most of the time. Rather, the term has always been associated with an "extra" full moon. In the first half of the 20th century, for example, it apparently referred to the third full moon of a season — spring, summer, winter or fall — that boasted four full moons instead of the usual three. But that definition was misinterpreted over the years, and today we call the second full moon in a single month a "blue moon." The phrase "once in a blue moon" suggests that the celestial phenomenon is exceedingly rare, but that's not the case. Blue moons come along once every 2.7 years on average, and sometimes much more frequently. In 1999, for example, blue moons occurred in both January and March (with no full moon in February). Blue moons exist because our calendar months aren't perfectly synched up with lunar months. It takes 29.5 days for the moon to orbit Earth, during which time we see the satellite go through all of its phases. But all calendar months (except February) have 30 or 31 days, so occasionally two full moons get squeezed into a single month. Like this August. Or this September, if you live in the Kamchatka region of the Russian Far East or New Zealand. In those locales, Friday's full moon actually occurs after midnight on Saturday (Sept. 1), making the following full moon — which comes along Sept. 30 — the blue one." Anyone going to fish at night???

13.64 now

Nice!!! :respect-059: :respect-059:

Yup, that is pretty common. Flowing water definitively attracts bass.

Anyone fishing at night for the Blue Full moon (fri) ??

That will be good for some of the trails from the rim canal to the main lake. Some were getting extremely shallow/impassable.

Chug bug, shad rap and 7.5 in tequila shad did the trick tonight.

flukes, frogs, chugbug. i personally fish extra close to the shoreline when the water raises like this. Grubs, bugs, ants and whatever else is living in the dirt get flooded out, which in turn bring minnows baitfish, panfish to feed on them which bring Bass to feed on the fish. I will be definitely be wetting a line from shore somewhere this afternoon/ sunset.
