@Blue Raider Bob you have no idea. Same ramp that @TnRiver46 is talking about, I have personally seen people set up camp at the waterline on the ramp, and have a little picnic while they take turns with their jetski. Get the boombox out, half-naked kids running around in the line for the other ramp that's not blocked, the whole bit.

Totally disrespectful. Adults teaching kids to be disrespectful as well. Vicious cycle. I would put a knot on any kid of mines head if they were to treat others that way. Also I would toss the boombox! This krap makes me long for Katie's quite waters and WayNorth Guys unpolluted streams, far from the corruption of Jet Skis and other unholy inventions. Durn, you got me wound up!

I fished a dammed streambed this morning, so it was long and skinny with bays lining both sides. I'd only fished this pond one prior time this summer, but I'm liking it more and more. The quantity is okay (20 this morning) and the quality is pretty good. I lost a bass right beside my canoe that went between four and five ponds. It was SO close that I even attempted to net it after it unbuttoned right beside me. The fish here are well-shaped, well-fed, and feisty. And the pond is beautiful. See for yourself!

 

 

Katie, I've fished some dammed stream beds too but they don't produce like the one your mad at! ?

The trick is gritting your teeth past all that, then you motor waaaaay on upriver where nobody else goes.

@Blue Raider Bob: Anytime you want it, my friend, these ponds and your guide await you. You just have to drive 14 triblillion miles and arrange for babysitting for a goat herd, a horse herd, an angry goose, and the rest of your menagerie. 

 

@Dominat0r: I'm in Maine. You can kinda tell from the second to bottom photo, with the northwoods water backdropped by a mini-mountain. There are lots of northwoodsy lakes in the U.S. and Canada, but if you want mountains too, your options are fewer.

I don’t think those waters were damned @ol'crickety, but blessed with solid, quality bass and beautiful scenery.

 

Ha! Good wordplay!

What kind of a knothead parks in front of a boat ramp? That beats all I've ever heard! The redneck in me would want to leave them a sour note on the wind shield. Thanks for the easy access pal!

I carry a tow strap in my truck. That knucklehead would have got moved.

Well I figured that I would update you guys on how these 2 fish faired with my cooking abilities. I pan fried them and had them with coleslaw, cornbread, cottage cheese. These 2 fish fed my wife, mom, oldest son and I had a small chunk or two. I wanted to do something special for my family, my wife loves eating bass and my mom has been harassing me for a fish dinner with all of them that I catch. I really liked how the fish came out, I have never fried fish before. Everything was delicious and I was impressed with how the fish came out, that’s not a easy task lol.

Ok....PB here, the worm was just as big as him.......the SMALLEST bass I have caught in this pond by an inch. HAHA....storming bad here again, but going to try and sneak out after my girl goes to sleep.

Mid 80s with light breezes and partly cloudy skies. Nearly 3.5 inches of rain this past week has really cleared up a few of the micro lakes. Didn’t see any bass up shallow on the flats near the shoreline, so went small and skinny on the finesse worm and added a tiny bit of weight to speed up the drop and focused just off the breakline into deeper water. Apparently the bass liked the approach, as I got an even 20 fish today up to 17”.

 

 

 

 

Even though they nuked these spots and killed a lot of the Chara in the shallows, I was happy to see a few sprigs of floating pondweed trying to establish themselves amongst the devastation here and there. Nature abhors a vacuum.

I caught covid, rocky mountain spotted fever, and also this smallmouth bass. Not my usual stringer. I don't feel well at all. But not bad enough to miss night fishing...yet. Also being outside helps the sneezing 

[Dominat0r]

Streak is alive and well, went out after my girl went to bed. Got a quick fish in the rain and came home after it started to really come down. Fish is for Tues 7/11. Off a carolina rig and a zoom lizard.

Dang @thediscochef, hope you are on the mend 

[Swamp Girl]

I want to fish like @Team9nine one day. He's always shifting gears and using different lures. 

 

@thediscochef, I urge you to not fish for a few nights. Let your body use all its resources to get well instead of catching bass. In the meantime, your seven-pounders will only grow larger.

He skirts the law almost every outing though with the fashion police.  Stay on path @ol'crickety.

Wish I could get 3.5 inches of rain in a week.  I haven't had that much since May 1.

I love @Team9nine Dr. P shirt, clearly the bass did too! Maybe he has it dialed in on the fashion side and we need to get on board with ripped jeans and Dr. P shirts to catch more bass!

Whoa whoa whoa lets not get carried away here.  Ripped jeans and shorts?  An emphatic no.  A vintage Dr Pepper t shirt?  Ok, the fashion police approves this time.

I felt OK last night but it's now "yet", 101.5f body temps. I no longer feel OK lol

I do too! That's what I wanted to say but I didn't want my BR friends to see how deep the red runs in my neck. I've got two straps and no tolerance for fools. Glad to know I am not alone!?

I would also venture to guess you have some back up! 

[Swamp Girl]

Bob and Tim, I'd prefer that you tow those cars into the water. That's what a loading ramp is for, after all.

Dang Katie! That dammed stream has got you all worked up! I just want the blocked vehicles out of the way, not pulled into the water permanently, but don't give Tim any ideas, else we may have to raise some bail money!

Tim is considerate. He'll mount a Mercury outboard on their rear bumper before he launches them.

There's already a Ford Escape (I think) sunk in the water near the ramp that @TnRiver46 was talking about. Been down there for a while.

Sounds like you KNOW what is down there. Which one of ya'll did it? Was it T-Billy?

Hate it when those parking brakes fail......?
