My friend Skip picking on the bass at Toledo Bend

He's been picking on the bass lately. Good to know he is getting out instead of worrying about his back orders of ties - in which he does. So, some of you fellas are going to have to wait. Good for him I say. He sent me this picture today (eat your heart out Danny :)):

5+ pounds! We have been discussing about some of his bream ties for fly rod fishing as well. I just very well may attempt to do that soon. Fella's, if it wasn't for this fine website crappie.com, I would have never met him. A fine friend he is. Thanks Skip.

Great picture......way to go Skip

Nice post

Thanks guys. It's been a long time since I fished bass as much as n did this week even. Part going out to try to see if we fixed my motor or not so it took 3 late afternoon fishing trips to finally get it right. Had an electronic float messing me up, but the morning before this fish we took a regular 6 gallon tank with a bulb on it (my motor doesn't use a bulb at all) and anyway when it messed up by buddy would pump that bulb and as long as he did we ran good. So that told Alton what was wrong so he changed it out.
going after big bass again tomorrow morning with my other neighbor. We were fishing Texas rigged Plum Apple 10 1/2" worms.

Looks like a good day to me.

Nice catch

Good post Randy....love that bass catching (Didi says "and eating").....glad you guys are having some success.....

Randy, I just got back a couple days ago. Caught 8 keeper bass off one stump in 27 ft water drop shotting. Caught about 10 to small on that stump also. . Also kept a few more and a few crappie the second day. No pix , they still look like fish. Where are your pix from a couple weeks ago?

Figured this post would get a rise out of you Danny :) Couple of weeks ago (was posted under the cricket thievery that Ann posted while we were there):

Nice 4 finger pose!!

We have been fishing a large ridge with deep water all around and the grass stops at about 13' so we stop right on the edge and fish there. Danny I have been thinking about getting my drop shot weights and worms out to do some of that too. We have been fishing 10 1/2" Plum Apple culprit color worms or in Zoom Monster worms in Plum.

Skip I'm using 4 inch red bug or plum. Fish your tops that you would normally fish for crappie.

I will give that a try with the drop shot soon, thanks Danny! I have a ton of small worms for that including a bunch of ring worms I bought last year that was some kid of overage a guy had that makes them for the big boy name brand baits. Wish he had some plum, but still got some good colors. Maybe he will over do it again and I can gets some more name brand worms from him.
