Had an evening charter with Debbie Kemp. Her husband booked a charter for there anniversary for her. Debbie is from Texas and isn't your ordinary everyday female angler. When she showed up with baitcasters in hand i knew I was going to be in for a great evening.

See Debbie is a tourney angler who usually fishes for green bass out of her 21' triton bass boat. Lake fork is her home lake in texas! If you know anything about bass fishing, lake fork is one of the best lakes in the country for largemouth!

Anyway, the water was green stained, 84 degrees and it was hot and humid with a gauge around 7.9. The water is as low as its been in a couple of years now and my usual summertime faster water area doesnt have much water in it now.

We caught a bunch of smaller bass mostly on spinnerbaits and Debbie did manage to catch one near dark that had some decent size to it. It was a very enjoyable evening with a very personable angler! And that girl can plain fish!

Had a 1/2 day am charter with Roger Burton and his son Nathan. We started about 7:00 and were off the water by 11.Water was stained and 78 degrees with a gauge in the mid 8 range. We
had a decent bite first thing in the fog. But soon as the fog lifted and the sun came out it died off in a hurry.

We found one area that held a bunch of biting fish...unfortunately they were all dinks so we moved on. It was tough going today and we didn/t catch anything of any size today. Sometimes fishing is just that and It only makes the theory of fishing on a full moon is tough more truthful!

Had an enjoyable evening charter with Bob Hobbes Sr and Jr tonight. Water was 71, dark stained with a gauge around 10.

We had a good bite this evening finishing with 42 smallies up to 17-3/4' and one nice marble eye. Started out with wind and clouds and then the sun came out and it warmed everyone up. Saw a lot of wildlife this evening including a hen turkey that came down to get a drink and the usual eagle sightings.

Bob Sr made my day after he said he liked my st.croix's so much last year that he went out and bought one! and some war eagle spinnerbaits to boot!

Been busy with family stuff...daughter travel softball, sons baseball. Finally got out today.

Rich H and i started at 6am and fished till 10 as we both had son's baseball games this pm. Water was Dark stained still from the rain from last weekend. Water temps were in the upper 60's and a gauge around 10.3

Got into a nice bite this am. We caught close to 40 fish including 2 nice walleyes. Many of the fish today were
in the 17" range. Still skinny from post spawn but looks to me like the post spawn blues are beginning to subside!

Had an all day charter with Leo Watrin and his son Grant today. Conditions where post cold front. Water temps in the in the upper 50's to low 60's at the end of the day, stained with a gauge height of 12'.

Morning started out slow and the wind started howling with gusts around 25-30mph. Had to run the trolling motor on high most of the day to keep the boat positioned. They finished with 59 smallies and one Nice keeper walleye which Leo took home to his wife for dinner. Got some nice quality fish today, with the biggest pushing 19".

My TM batteries where spent at the end of the day, they where ready to die any second. They sure got a work out today!

Fished with John Allen and his friend John today on an all day charter.
Bite was slow this am but picked up as the day went on. Soon as it clouded up John Switched over to top water and it was ON!...as he caught a 19-1/4" in short order.

Today was a pretty darn good day as we ended up with 77 smallies with 3 over 19" and a pile in the 17+"range. Water ended at 62 degrees stained with a gauge height of around 10.5

Spent an enjoyable, leisurely 1/2 day with "uncle Charlie" today who came up from MD... Charlie wanted to bring his fly rod with him and he ended up catching a dandy 18" er on it that sure did put up a fight.

THe weather was warm in the mid 80's, with a water temp of 56-59 and stained, gauge height around 11'.

Put a bunch in the boat today 40 total with better overall quality, biggest going 19"...and one walleye, that almost went home for dinner..but he got returned to fight another day.

Had an evening charter with David Spain and his Son Dylan. Very nice evening, warm and no wind. They had a good evening catching 22 smallies between them up to 18".

Saw a variety of wildlife tonight...including turkeys flying across the river, a pile of beavers and my Second River Otter sighting! that was way cool.

Had some interesting entertainment while loading the boat tonight...ask me about comic relief sometime! LOL

Had a 1/2 day charter with Leo Watrin and his Son Grant. They caught 56 today up to 18"s. We missed the majority of the rain today as we didnt start until about 10:30 this am. It turned out to be a good day after all. No wind and cloudy, the river on the rise with a green stain and in the mid to upper 50's.

Grant learned how to fish the JB today!. Funny to see his eyes get as big as saucers when a smallie would rip into his bait and almost yank the pole out of his hand. Funny to watch the progression from absolutely no confidence in the bait at the beginning of the session until the light bulb went on and BOOM! he got the knack of it and look out!
