Fall Fishing in Full Swing! My favorite time of year is upon us. Fall officially came in September 22nd and you can feel the change of season in the air. Not a moment too soon as I’m sure all of us are ready for some cooler weather! We have several lakes that are heating up! The fish have really started to respond and the fishing is very good right now! Trips are typically producing 35 to over 50 bass per day right now and the big girls are getting more active. Here are some of the fun trips I’ve had since my last report: Charles Morgan and crew came in for a 3 day trip and in those 3 days boated 134 bass. Getting 49 the first day, 44 the second and 41 the third day. Each day we had bass over 8lbs! Next up I had Tucker Spake and buddies back in for a Super Half Day and the boys caught 51 bass topped by bass weighing 7, 8 & 9lbs!! Next up was new customers Timothy Jones and Zachary Allred and the guys did a great job at their first try at this style of fishing boating 34 bass to 8-1/4lbs! Last but certainly not least I had new customer and former Professional Australian Downhill Skier Ali Manning and friend Olivia who came all the way from New York City to fish a day and the girls did a great job on their first try catching 38 bass to 7-3/4lbs! Fall in so glad you’re here!
Just wrapped up a couple of fun trips! I personally love this time of year! The fishing is usually really good and the waterways are usually very quiet. A lot of days we don’t even see another boater! It’s like bass heaven and having these big bodies of water all to yourself! I had new customers, The Dodd Family in for a morning trip. The guys did great and picked it up pretty fast for their first try at this method of fishing, boating 33 healthy Summer bass to 6lbs. Next I had long time customer Phil Kicklighter in for a morning trip. Phil did his usual great job boating 28 bass and had a pair of bass over 8lbs at 8lbs even and 8lbs 4oz along with a bunch of other great bass! I truly love this Summer fishing!
Great Summer Time Fishing and a Record Setting Season!!!! What a wonderful time of year to be on the water, in now what is a record setting season! Fishing remains HOT! Trips are producing 30-40+ bass per day! We have had some challenges with some storms rearranging areas we've been fishing, but sometimes when one thing changes it opens up another door to something else exciting! We've adjusted tactics and areas some and have had great fun and results! Here are our trips since last report: Patrick reed and friend wrapped up day 2 of their two day trip catching 41 bass with bass weighing 7lbs, 8lbs 1oz and 8lbs 14oz which gave them a 2 day tota; of 78 bass with 3 bass over 8lbs! Next up I had new customer Nick Prystawski and son if for a trip and the guys did a great job boating 32 bass to 9lbs 12oz! Next up was David Stevens and his two sons all the way from North Central California. we had a great trip boating 27 bass with bass weighing 7lbs 8oz and 9lbs 8oz! Next was new customer Jay Parrish in for a morning trip and Jay also did great on his first trip boating 19 bass to 7lbs. The last two days I had long time customers and friends Carroll Proffitt and Phil Kicklighter in for another swing and the guys boated 33 bass on day one and 44 yesterday for a 2 day total of 77 bass with some bass in the 7lb class being the biggest! Capt Brice had new customer Steve "Bullet" Helms in for his first trip with us and Steve had a great first trip boating 31 bass to 8lbs! Brice also had new customer Corlis Dobson and his Grandsons all the way in from Texas and they did a great job boating 32 bass with the biggest being about 6-1/2lbs. This has been another great season! With 2-1/2 months to go in the season we are tied with the most trophy bass I've ever had!!!! The number currently stands at an INCREDIBLE 255 trophy bass!!!!! With 55 of those being double digit bass!!!!!

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!
