I caught a majority of my keepers at Wyco last year powerfishing with either a jig or 10" worm. 

 

I was doing well at Olathe the last couple weeks but I bet after all this rain the water out there is trashed.

 

You know I didn't think about the water at Olathe being fairly torn up.  After having a tough tournament on Wilson and then a rough go at the Dotte I'm just ready to get on some fish haha.  Maybe I'll just go fish the local farm pond and clean up.  Nothing cures a bad trip than catching 30 in 2 hours...even if they arent huge lol.

Douglas State Lake is a good place to go just to catch a ton of fish, but they are pretty small for the most part.

 

Olathe has those 3 big inflows that bring a ton of trash and mud into the lake anytime it rains but it may have cleared up a little by now. The water out there is never very clear and they'll bite in muddy water, just the cold weather combined with the mud I'd be concerned about.

Yep that sounds good. As a general rule I don't have any luck on the west half of the lake.

Try the dam and bounce around try the points. By now they may be in the coves?

Still tuning my HB, but I got some shots of the trees at El Dorado. 30FOW, and some had 20-30 more foot out if the water

We saw some fish on beds at Gardner last Thursday but it was too windy and stained where we were to fish for them. Never got to fish for smallies on beds but I've heard they're super aggressive.

They were smacking the tar out of that baby brush hog.

Grace Jay (princess superfluke?) was born friday at 7 lbs 9 oz! Mrs. Superfluke and baby are doing just fine. You probably won't see much from me for awhile but I'll be lurking and reading about all the hawgs that you're catching to get my fix.

He will be keeping you busy for quite a while. Hope you can find a little time to wash your lures in the future.

I think you need to hold the camera closer to the fish, because i mean, it's pretty far away from the camera.

 

Joking aside, whatd that one go and where were you fishin'

Finished in the middle of the pack after our two day tournament at melvern.

My non-boater kicked me in the teeth today by weighing three fish, and I only weighed one. I think I need to start guiding  :Idontknow:

 

Anyhow, lotta fish weighed but no real giants. Seems folks were catching them on a bit of everything with the exception of moving baits all too much.

 

Jigs, tubes, ned, shakeyhead, biffle hard head - those seemed to be the key players this week.

 

Biggest fish brought to the scales was a 4.24 largemouth.

No smallies over four were weighed to my knowledge but a couple came close.

 

Coulda used some of those three pounders you guys got into the other weekend, thats for sure. The flat water probably didn't help make the big fishies want to play though.

First of all, congratulations @SuperFluke on the new addition to the family. My better half and I are working on buying a house and starting a family of our own.

Got in a bit of fishing down at the family cabin on LOZ, and spent all of Saturday cleaning the tritoon for another summer of debauchery. Got down Thursday night, to my surprise the water was STILL gin clear and caught a bunch of dink largemouths and a bass sized slab walking the dog just under the surface with the Ned. First time I've fished it that way and it can walk it under the surface surprisingly well.

Friday was awesome. Spotted a bedding male and female in the morning, caught the male pretty easily on a GP shaky worm but the female just wasn't interested. Proceeded to throw a wacky stiko, pit boss, and even a live minnow in front of her face and she wouldn't bite. Oh well. Got into some spots pretty well on the shaky and made for a fun afternoon.

Came back in the early evening and wham! She figured she was ready to eat the shaky worm.

Rounded off Friday night catching 10+ slabs from the dock, nothing under 12". Heaven.

Did you keep that big female you caught off the bed?

Successfully released her right back at her bed. Had to walk back to the house a few docks down for some pics (didn't even have to step on a boat :) )

Anybody keeping females off their beds deserves a kick in the teeth.

You da man!!! That makes me happy.

I personally like to eat bass but I can't stand to kill an 18" anymore. I wish they'd let you keep a couple 15" instead of a 18" minimum but that's just me...

Go out to Douglas, you can keep 5 under 12" out there. You and one other person keeping 10 12 inchers is a pretty good little mess of fish and they're much better eating at that size. I think Miami is going to that same slot limit too and could certainly stand to lose some small fish. Douglas has much cleaner water though.
