OMGosh ripin thanks for the memories of Okracoke and the eatery's. It was worth the ferry ride out to the island just for the food.

Plywood shacks built on stilts and one of our favorite's had the best "Artichoke Dip".

Speaking of sea food, we'd hoot and holler everytime we would see the billboards "Get Your Crabs at DirtyDicks".

Thanks for the memories.

Hi Sam. 😂😂😂

Man, the dudes that fish those Wednesday night bass tourneys are a special kind of dooshes aren't they?  Never been there when one was starting, but my 9 year old and I weren't far from the 528 launch yesterday evening at blast off.  Fishing on shore.  We were into a good mixed bite of channel cats and fun sized bass.  Nothing epic, but a fun way to kill a few hours with him.  
 
Two of these tool bags zoom right over to where we're at and start pounding the shorelines on either side of us, just about 5' farther than I could cast.  Shut that bite down real quick.  
 
Hope they got busted props and caught nothing.  
 
 

 
       dang, sounds like these dudes were a real pair of tools.
 
 
annnnnnnd I'll just bet the fishing club sponsoring the contest promotes family fishing fun.   Would of made for a great vid on facebook Dave...………  especially showing the club name.  just some food for thought... next Wednesday.

Just put out a marker a few hundred yards away next time. They always seem to attract people on that lake

Looked to be 30 ish boats and only two were jagoffs. To me anyway.

Didn’t see what they were running, but they ran in full throttle till they were about 75 feet away from us and threw wake well onto the shore where we had some gear sitting.

If I had been alone, I’d have just shaken my head. Amazing that some adults are so inconsiderate around a kid trying to catch a few fish.

I’m sure there are some good dudes in the bunch. Probably most of em actually.

👍👍👍 Beautiful Dave.


I'm thinkin the more the exposure on the web, of the 'tool bags', maybe the fishing clubs will take more interest in policing their own.

Pretty sure B.A.S.S. (or any organization) wouldn't want "bad publicity" generated from a local chapter regarding "sportmanship".

Sponsor's would just love free publicity when they see their business name associated with a slob.

Nor does the PFBC (if that still exist🤔) want bad publicity for issuing "needed permits" to fishing clubs that promote slobs on the water.

There are rules regarding "good sportsmanship" that are to be followed (if that still exist🤔) when applying for a permit.

Sooo get them 'smart phones' rollin and them vids posted to FaceBook & Youtube and don't forget to tell the story of who, when, where & why.

If "a picture is worth a thousand words" just think what a video is worth.


P.S. Don't forget to post a link on the forums.

They've been fairly easy to catch this week.  We usually do pretty well in May and early June on 'em, but were shut out this spring.  Wednesday was the first time we targeted them since then, and some smaller channels were smashing the 2" Gulps he was throwing for gills to cut up for bigger cats.  Kinda funny when yer trying to catch bait and start getting your target species!  
 
Both of those ^ were caught about 10-15' out from shore on cut gills.  
 
We've had some good outings at Arthur the last few weeks catching a wide variety of fish.  He even fought a 40"+ ski last week that he somehow managed to keep hooked for about 5 minutes on 6# mono and a 1/16 oz jig head.  Got it juuuuusssstttt out of the reach of the net 3 or 4 times before the line broke.  

I'm a big fan of the Gulp baits. We don't even stop for minnows any more.
 

went for 6 hours today. got the big skunko.first time this year.it looked like a sailboat hatch. they were everywhere and cutting people off like they own the place.
 

Double post

So yinz sayin, I may not be the problem, after all? 🤔 Dam it..... errr darn it, all this time I was thinkin, it was me. Stupid fish😉


Great to hear yinz got on the lake and spent some good times fishin. 🍻

The Butler County Tourism and Convention Bureau is looking for a couple volunteers to drive boats when a TV crew comes to town.
The internationally-televised show “Fishing University” will be filming two episodes next week at Moraine State Park and Glade Run Lake.
 
The show needs two volunteers to serve as boat drivers for the camera crew. You would need to provide your own, small boat- which must have a trolling motor to quietly follow the guys around while filming.
 
Filming will take place at Glade Run Lake September 10 and 11.
 
The bureau says “special incentives” will be provided for those who volunteer. You should contact the tourism bureau if you’re interested.
 
“Fishing University” has been around for 32 years and is a “how-to” fishing program. Pro-fisherman Charlie Ingram and Ray Brazier are the hosts.
