I don't believe Beavers eat fish as I don't believe Deer eat meat....... reports misrepresent. Beavers aren't predators and swift swimmers like otters......wood, bark is their food source.

A beaver hut is a guaranteed bass or two.

Never knew it was a thing until this thread. Never had and probably to late to add something else to remember 😉

I have no lack of fishing partners but still enjoy fishing alone if I can keep my mouth shut. Wife goes often with a book.

Got out in light rain today, no wind. Caught only 3 bass but lost a really good one on a Zara Spook. Did put another Snakehead in the live well though.

September has been brutal here for effort per bass. Fished yesterday for 5 hrs for 2 bass, embarrassing. Starting to not like September......oh 63 .

My expense is mainly fuel and wear and tear. I've got over 6000 miles of towing the boat in 2024 and have several more trips planned until deer season. I buy tackle in bulk so I'm good for a couple of years in that department.

It happens. I throw a ton of wacky worms on 1/16 VMC heads and where I get in trouble is trying to manage this technique in wind. Can usually save a deep hooked fish with wire cutters, cut off the barb and twist the hook out with long nose pliers. Both tools are a must. If the fish can't be saved it goes to the frying pan 🥘

I've never kept a log and many times forget my phone for pics, guess the excitement of fishing. 😂 I do keep a round about total in my head of catches and always remember what part of a lake is most productive. Love seeing fish reports of others catches.

Nothing surprising with Josh Jones. The guy puts huge fish in the boat consistently.

Great video, thanks for sharing.

No talk of the Saints demolishing teams averaging 45 per game ???? Oh wait !!! They played the Panthers and Cowboys.....my bad 😁

Every year is different. 2 years ago the WP 90 accounted for most top water fish. Last year the Devil's Horse. This year a top water jerkbait. Would be nice if bass were predictable 😄 I mainly throw top water early and late.

My observation is more about water temps vs seasons. Water temps climb above 50* " usually early April " , we start hooking good fish. Water temps in the 60's is quality fish and numerous fish. Water temps that are rising into the 70's is surprisingly better than water temps that are rapidly falling into the 70's. 80* + is slow here. Our summer here in the mountains of Western VA ended abruptly about 2 weeks ago with lows in the upper 40's and highs upper 60's lower 70's..... crazy. Surface temps are already low 70's so looking forward to October fishing. Stay safe.

Tua got his guaranteed money so I'll say he's done. Also heard a report that he had a few concussions before the NFL.

We have this one particular lake " electric only " that produced many 8lb + bass. Word got out and the lake started getting pounded. It's only 117 acres and easily accessible so 20+ boats per day was common and with many night fisherman. This all started 20 years ago and now the lake is referred to as 1 fish Frederick. The lake your referring to sounds very unpressured, enjoy.

If I didn't throw a wacky rig or drop-shot, eliminate 75% of the fish I've caught the last 3 years. My power fishing partner no longer sends me a Christmas card 😂, he despises it.

I've heard some members claim that September can be slow fishing. It was today, only caught 3 in 4 hours of fishing. My partner caught this blue cat on a spinnerbait.

Mason is actually looking like McCaffrey......shanahan a genius.

X. Worthy 😳 That kid is fast. If Baltimore can fix the O-line they'll be fine. Oh, 2 good games to start the year. Barkley is the leading vote getter for MVP. 😂

I've used a 6'4 UL rod for Neds and dropshot for years without issue...... always pinned in the top of the mouth. 15# braid to 8# flouro leader. 5'4 rod seems short. Imo Less rod length = less available arc during the fight, keeping the hook pinned.

Meteorologists have the easiest jobs, stress free. They consistently miss the forecast and get paid regardless. 😁 Due to the gin clear water that I fish, wind can be an issue. To put fish in the boat consistently it's mostly done with a finesse technique. Lighter weight is more negatively influenced by wind. A big arc in the line almost eliminates sensitivity. Another words...... give me glass water.
