I met up with my friend Josh last night to check out a farm pond I heard about that might have some bass in it... The grass around the pond made casting a bit challenging. Check out all the damselflies around me! The evening started off with a bang when our poppers were greeted by 8-12" bass on nearly every cast. As the sun got lower in the sky the big boys came to the surface ...Read More...

As dad and I got dressed you could feel the camper rock as we put on our pants. We opened the camper door slowly trying no to make any noise but, the door made a slow creaking sound. As we stepped out of the camper we could still see the amber burning in th... Read More...
