Just wrapped up a fun 2 day trip. Good customer and former Congressman Robin Hayes and Hayes Leatherman! The guys did a great job! On day 2 of their trip the guys boated 44 bass on a short morning trip with bass weighing 6-3/4, 7lbs, 7lbs, 8lbs, 9lbs and 9lbs!! Even thought it was a shorter trip due to their travel itinerary, it was an absolute hammerfest! With the 51 they caught in Wednesday, the guys wrapoed up their 2 day trip with 95 bass total! Always a great time when Mr. Robin comes to town. Trips are starting to be of the shorter variety as folks opt for the fun morning fishing and beating the warm afternoons and showers. The shorter trips have produced between the 20’s and 40’s with lots of great fish and some PB’s coming over the side of the boat! New customer Trey Palmer and co., New customer Jamey K and co., Long time customer Greg Cook and co. And New customer Mathew Harvey and co have all been a part of the fun the last couple of days! #rodmanreservoir #rodmanreservoirbassfishing #rodmanreservoirfishingguide #rodmanreservoirfishing #bass #bigbass #bassfishing #bassfishin #bassfishingnation #bassfishingismylife #bassfeatured #bassfishinglife #fishing #fish #fishing???? #fishing???? #fishingtrip #fishingislife #bigbassdreams #bigbassfishing #bigbassdreams #trophybass #trophycatch #monsterbass #guide #guidelife #outdoors #outdoor #ocala #gainesville
Off The Chart Family Trips!! Gonna do a little bit of bragging here on my customers! A while back Mr Brad Tankersley called me up and wanted to set up a trip for his son Noah's graduation! Noah is quite the bass fishing enthusiast and has fished on his High School team back in Alabama. The goal was to catch some good fish, have a great time and get these guys a shot at their personal best. Well mission accomplished as we've shattered those goals! We're two days into their 3 day trip and the Tankersley's have caught 105 bass!!!!!! Catching 54 on the first day with fish weighing 7lbs 6oz, 7lbs 8oz, 7lbs 12oz, 8lbs and 10lbs!! Noah beat his old PB by 3lbs with his 10lber and Brad got his PB at 8lbs!! Folks some of the best fishing in the country is here and right now! Brice has had new customer Scott Kuhn in for two days and they've boated 137 bass and literally cannot take enough bait!That brings this season's total to an eye popping 53 bass 10lbs or over and 227 over 8lbs!! The Summ
Fishing Remains Strong! The fishing has stayed really strong and continues to be some of the best fishing of the year! Trips are typically producing 30 to 50+ bass per trip depending on trip length with lots of big bass coming over the side of the boat! Here are some of the trips since my last report: Yesterday I had the man, the myth, the legend Mike Galbusieri back for another trip. Mike did his usual BANG UP job catching 49 bass with the 5 best going 7lbs 8oz, 7lbs 14oz, 8lbs, 8lbs 8oz and 10lbs!! The 5 best went 41lbs 14oz! Not bad for late Spring Bassin'! I also had return customer Zac Johannsen and pal Dave in for Day 1 of their two day trip. Zac gaught a 13lber with me last year! The guys did a great job catching 41 bass with one just under 8lbs and one at 8lbs even! We had new customer Louie Dean in for a morning trip and Louie boated 51 bass with his new PB 8lber! I also had new customer Jason Caruthers and his stepson Pen in for a morning trip and the guys did a great job on their first trip out with us getting 31 bass to 8lbs 12oz! Last but not least I had Long Time Friend and customer Jason Worth in for a short morning trip and we caught 27 bass to 6lbs 8oz! As you can see lots of great fishing! That brings the total this year to an incredible 52 bass double digit bass!! And 223 total trophy bass (8lbs and above)!!!!
Some incredible fishing and a great story! Every year great friend and customer Bob Gordon comes down and fishes with me for about a week at a time, twice a year! We've had some great trips, but man was this one a REALLY great one! On day two of his trip we were hammering some fish and Bob turned in his chair to set the hook on a fish and thought he had the back of the chair behind him, but he didn't! Well he set hard and missed the fish and because the back of the chair wasn't behind him he went flying backwards and out of the chair, landed on the edge of my grab rail and long story short, broke the smaller bone in his left forearm!!!! Now lesser men woulda called it a trip, but not Bob! We still had 4 days to fish! So he got it casted up and in a sling and we kept after them!!! Folks in 6 days, Wednesday through Friday of lat week and Monday through Wednesday of this week, Bob caught 294 bass!!!! Yes you read that right 294!!!1 That's a 49 bass per day average and if we wouldn't have had to cut the trip short on the day he got hurt it woulda been well over 50 per day!!!! We caught TONS of great bass and had 9 trophy bass with 6 bass topping 8lbs, a 9lber, a 10lber and a WHOPPER that went 11lbs!!!! Crazy fun and crazy trip! See you again in the Fall my friend Good Lord Willing! Over the weekend I also had my good friends and customers The Brunelle Family! This is another trip I always look forward to! Jacob, Donni, Cam and friend Robbie made it in for a Super Half Day and they caught 39 bass with Jacob getting the big fish of the day at 8lbs 2oz! Then on Sunday I had new customer Ryan Tiedeberg and his son in for a short morning trip and the guys caught 20 bass and Ryan caught an 8 and a 9lber!! Yesterday I had long time customer Charlie Brietzke and his sons, Charlie Jr and Travis in for a morning trip and their traveling comedy show! It was a laugh a minute as the guys caught 30 bass with two nice fish that went 7lbs 8oz and 7lbs 10oz as the big fish of the day! FOLKS THIS BRINGS US TO AN INCREDIBLE 217 TROPHY BASS THIS YEAR! (8LBS AND ABOVE !) AND A WHOPPING 51 DOUBLE DIGIT BASS THIS YEAR! Got a long way to go, but this year could potentially challenge 2021 for some records!
PHENOMENAL FISHING Continues !!!! I keep saying it, but man is it true! Undoubtedly the best action of the year is right now! Every single trip I've done in the last week except one has produced 40+ bass with lots of big bass! The one that didn't produce over 40 was yesterday and we'll talk about that one first! I had long, long time customers and friends Pastor Harold Hendren and Jim Hernandez in for another trip and the boys caught 34 spectacular bass and Harold caught ANOTHER beast fish that came in at a really impressive 11 pounds! His second biggest bass ever! I already bragged up the Hog Heaven guys that I had in Tuesday thru Friday with their 175 bass! Here are the other trips since my last report: Saturday I had long time friends and customers Dan and Jamie Harkins in and they boated 40 bass with a 7lb 14ozer and an 8lb 2ozer! Sunday I had back in long time customer and friend Tony Reed and hid buddy Andrew, the guys again caught 40 bass even with bass weighing 7lbs 8oz, 8lbs 1oz, 8lbs 12oz and 8lbs 14oz!! Monday and Tuesday I had new customers and father and son duo Bill and Mitchell French in for a 2 day trip. They caught 88 bass, catching 41 bass on day one to 8lbs. Day two they caught 47 bass to 8lbs 8oz! We also had return customers and friends Yovanni Gonalez and Family in for another trip and Brice put them on 41 bass with a 8lb 8ozer! These 10 trophy bass this week has brought the total trophy bass numbers to a WHOPPING 200 even with an also WHOPPING 49 bass that are double digits!!!! Excited to see what the coming days will bring!
Gonna have to do some more bragging on some customers!!Twice a year I get the pleasure of guiding my friends from Hog Heaven Camp! This rascally collection of friends come from all over the country to spend about a week together fishing, Jeep riding and a host of other acuities and get to share some time with lifelong friends. They're a GREAT collection of guys and I hope they know how lucky they are to have that friendship and camaraderie! I also hope they know how much fun I have the week they're here and the end of the week dinner that they've graciously invited myself and family to! It's a fun and special experience for my family too! I had them for 4 days of fishing this past week, from Tuesday to Friday and it was some exceptional fishing! Day 1 Mick, Andy and Jeff boated 44 bass to 9-1/2 lbs! Day 2 Lanny and Bob boated 42 bass with the biggest being 5-6lbs! Day 3 Richard and Brad boated 48 bass with two bass over 7 pounds and also a 9lber! Then Day 4 Mick, Any and Rene boated 41 bass to 8lbs! That is a 4 day total of exactly 175 bass!!!! Man what a GREAT week and I look forward to seeing you guys in The Fall!
Fishing On Fire!!!! Folks the fishing is GOOD, not just Good, but GOOD GOOD! It is easily and without a doubt the best fishing of the year! Trips are producing 40-60 bass per day with LOTS of Trophy Bass! We have 3 different bodies of water where this is happening right now! It’s such a blessing to have such incredible fishing in this area! I already reported on The Proffitt Family’s 2 day trip where they caught 86 bass to 10lbs 10oz! But here are a coupke of other trios from the last few days: Last Friday I had Roy Curry and friends in for a Super Half Day and the guys boated 37 bass with two fish that weighed 7-1/4lbs and another bass that was 10lbs even! Saturday and Sunday I had Eddie and Carol Atkins back for another go at it and Saturday they caught 41 bass with an 8 and a 9lber and Sunday they caught 28 to 9-1/2lbs! Monday I had New Customer Pastor Mike Wapinsky in for a morning trip and he caught 45 bass with a 7-1/2 and 8-1/2lber! Yesterday and Today i had the guys from Hog Heaven Lodge back in and they have caught nearly 90 bass the last two days with the biggest being Mick McCoy’s 9-1/2lber!!!! Brice had new customer Jack Owings in for three days and he caught 134 bass in those three days, biggest was about 6lbs. Then he had new customer Thomas Cody and family in for a morning trip and they boated 53 bass to 6lbs and left them biting! The fishing is absolutely incredible and what a magical time of year this is!! That brings the total trophy bass for this season to a whopping 190 bass already over 8lbs with 48 of those being 10lbs and above!!!! We could be on track to challenge the 2021 Season for double digit bass!!!!
Some Incredible Spring Fishing! Wanted to get a fishing report out real quick this morning as I am behind this week on getting one out. I LOVE, LOVE this time of year but am not gonna lie I'm whipped! As of today I've fished 52 days in a row without a day off and even had some doubles this week. It's not easy for my old butt, but lord knows I love it! The action has been the best it's been all year and the numbers especially the last 3 or 4 days are starting to show it! We ventured out and hit some other bodies of water along with Rodman and had some pretty amazing numbers! We've had days where we've had as many as 70 bass! Here are some of the highlights: I just finished up a 2 day trip with long time return customer and pal Art O'Reilly and his friend Bill. The boys caught 44 the first day and 52 the second for a grand total of 96 bass in two days to 8-1/2lbs! On Monday I had two trips, Baird Hall and friends in the afternoon and the boys caught 31 and that morning I had Larry Vandervlucht and his brother in for the start of their 3 day trip and they boated 39 bass to 7lbs 6oz. Larry and his brother went on to catch 154 bass in 3 days as he finished out his 3 day trip with Brice. I had long time customers Eddie and Carroll Atkins in for a morning trip and the team caught 30 bass to 9-1/2lbs! Next I had a really nice young couple Marty and Jena Snipes in for a short half day trip, We had a really fun trip boating 25 bass to 8-1/2lbs! Last but certainly not least I had Mitch and Ed Davidson in for a two day trip. The guys boated 77 bass with bass weighing 8lbs 15oz and 9lbs 8oz!! The lakes are beautiful, the weather is beautiful and the fishing is spectacular! What a great time to be on the water! The totals for the year now stand at 178 trophy bass for the season with 44 double digit bass!
