.............

So, the last vid has been reworked. As previously mentioned, this is a hobby for me. In this case, I've redone the titles, made some sound corrections, and a couple of other tweaks. I'm very much enjoying my foray into editing at this point. Lots of ideas are floating about my head.

........getting what you can.

I don't ever particularly fish where I'd like. Most often it's dictated by whats most local. Which is pretty much the story behind the spate of LM Bass outings. One thing that can have me writhing in agony from back pain is any car ride longer than 20 mins. It's killer. Most fisheries are more of a trip than just 20 mins for me. So, I take what I can get.



It doesn't provide a lot of trophy opportunities. The warm water fishery I frequent sees heavy pressure. A large number of those anglers are members of the 'bucket brigade'. All fish caught be these souls see the bucket. A large number of fish are culled. They must not realize just how damned polluted the water is. Oh well.
.....fish on.....



So, I did try something other than a GFC tonight. Tried a Yellow Rabbit Strip Zonker. Had high hopes for that pattern. It produced nada. Best laid plans and all that. A silver GFC produced well once I changed back.

The 420 part. A Kush cone.
So yeah.....more video. Again, not a piece that will be winning any awards for cinematography. It is an enjoyable hobby for me though. I like having a sort of video diary I can look back at when things get colder and whiter. I'm going to continue to work on it...........to get more of a polished look and feel to it. Of course.....trying to do it all solo has great limitations. We'll see what happens when ( if ) I get some talent to put in front of the camera.

.........a bit more topwater Bass.

......open wide....

Since the only way I can fish comfortably is out of a pontoon boat, that's about the only type of fishing I have done of late. Not complaining really. It does limit potential venues and species, but it is a far sight better than no fishing at all. Can't manage any real time on the water........but again, better than nothing.

another GFC victim.
The GFC is still producing well for me. Really well on large mouth. Not sure that when I do try to change it up if I'm doing myself any favours. The night I shot the following video I started with a Wooly Bugger, but went to the GFC after the bugger proved fruitless in the early goings.

Between sick, sore, and weather, not a lot of water seen lately.

Did try this morning for a bit. With temperatures dropped from a cold front, I kinda figured the morning might not be prime. I was right. Not sure it was worth the pain on this day. I did manage fish, but I had to work for them. The lake was packed, shore and surface. Not my idea of fun.

Had to switch from a GFC today. Wasn't a lot of activity early and I figured to go deep to get at any fish. So, just threw a black  bugger at them. It produced, but still not at a rate I could content myself with. I get spoiled.

........green fishing again.



Some footage from the other night. With trout water in the high temps, there's no reason to be putting those fish at risk, so it's sticking with the warm water species. I'm loving the 'toon. It's alot easier on my back than wading. Still on the same negligible fishery, fishing the GFC. Probably was out for an hour and a half.
