I used to take a lot of people out fishing.  I don’t recall the guy’s name, but we headed up river one Wednesday afternoon for some fun fishing.  I put him on a few fish including a controversial “4” pound smallie.  He’s a big guy and everybody who saw the picture said it was smaller….

Made it out yesterday for a few hours before dark. Maybe 2:30 int he afternoon to about 6:00 or so. The section of river we fished isn’t one a lot of you guys fish, but this may help. At the ramp we chatted with one guy coming in. He said he had been out all…

I really should have worked, but with my truck in the shop when a buddy texted to go fishing I said, “YES!!!!!!!” He picked me up late in the afternoon and we headed out.  I played with the 3 inch Club-O on the Kahle Bead Jig for a while and managed to stick one dink,…

https://rumble.com/v6yjw5i-when-you-just-have-a-few-minutes-to-fish.html?mref=1sqt4y&mc=42lue When You Just Have A Few Minutes To Fish Just stopping off at a road side ditch to do a little fishing and trying to record a video with a cell phone. LOL. Using the infamous 4 inch Club-O. If you wish you had that bait buy the mold and make as many as…

I need to remind myself of Rule #1 from time to time. Go when you can. I’ve been busy setting up a stock prep area behind the shop to make more room for machines inside the shop, but I’ve still managed to get out twice int he last couple weeks. Hydraulic trim fell half way…

When Arizona went from a calendar license to a year period license one of the AzGFD guys complained about the lost revenue because people wouldn’t all be buying their license at the end/first of the year every year.  I figured more people would buy a license if they got the same amount of use out…

I needed some fishing therapy yesterday.  I also took the opportunity to try out what I was hoping might be a solution for a rough service action camera.  A police body camera from Vevor with a claimed record time of about 11 hours. Unless I can get some useful feedback from Vevor it was a…

This Saturday, June 7 2025, is FREE FISHING DAY in Arizona! 😮 🐟 Just remember: while a fishing license is not needed on June 7, bag limits and other Arizona fishing regulations still apply and must be observed on Free Fishing Day. If you’ve ever been curious to try fishing, now’s a great time to…

One of my fishing buddies took me out this evening hoping for a prefrontal bite, but it was slow. The Square Back Minnow that has been producing so well for me didn’t do it tonight.  I stuck all my fish on 4 inch Club-Os.  No wait.  I did stick one flipping an RT45.  I cranked…

Recap First: Tip #0 – Don’t let other people measure you. Tip #1 – Go when you can. Bob’s Tips for Anglers #2 – Don’t Over Complicate Going Fishing This officially displaces whatever the previous tip #2 was.  This has got to be more important than that. The former #2 was If Something Doesn’t Seem…

If your casting doesn’t feel right, sounds odd, or distance comes up short check your rig. I’ve quite often had a wrap where the line is around the rod behind the tip top. It really kills your casting distance. If you keep breaking off… you could have bad line, but you might not. I was…

A buddy invited me out yesterday afternoon, and we pretty much had the area to ourselves. The Square Back Minnow is still putting numbers of fish in the boat for me. My buddy caught several on Club-Os, and he fished an RFLT for a short time putting a nice one in the boat. After sunset…
