I fished it from dark to dark yesterday and I will honestly say the only positive thing is the weather was perfect. That lake is beat to chit. The fish haul [censored] when you get close to them. . I had 2 fish and maybe 10 followers all day. Talked to maybe a dozen boats on the water and at the ramp that didn't catch a fish. Lake was packed as usual. Absolute perfect day for them to suspend and get caught for a wintertime bite. I could get them to follow a jerk bait but out of the 5 I had tied on the deck they would only get hot on the silent one but still not hot enough to eat. There is a reason almost every single guide is fishing small local surrounding lakes. That lake is in bad bad shape. Not saying it won't kick out a couple bigs in the next month or 2 but its honestly in really bad shape. I talked to some Boys that looked like they knew what they were doing from out of town and they were on their 5th day of ZERO bites. I think id rather go to the local barber shop and watch haircuts than spend another day on that lake. Honestly shows you how low water and God awful amounts of fishing pressure can absolutely destroy a fishery. She's gonna be toast for awhile. The fact all the guides are at different lakes tells you all you need to know. Stick a fork in her. She's done. Barrett... Do you notice they move a lot when the sonar hits them? I am positive they can feel that beam through the lateral line. I would think they become "educated" that the beam means danger and shut down. I see it on crappie now.. the large ones feel it and immediately move to the opposite side of the brush pile. The smaller ones stay put.

FG knot? Can’t you just use a tennis shoe overhand double bow? Asking for a friend. 😎

Be sure to stop by Elm creek and have the guides tie your knots for you, that seems to be a thing over there now so they can be a part of the catch. I should get him to tie my shoes ![[Linked Image]](https://texasfishingforum.com/forums/pics/userpics/2024/01/full-105650-211714-img_7854.png) I called JJ out for doing the same stuff a while back..... Then he blocked me lol. When the guy caught the 16lber he literally said "i taught him everything he knows about live sonar fishing and because of that he caught a 16lber..... I am so proud of my good friend blah blah blah....." Then he did the same thing a few weeks later while he was out getting skunked. "Seems like some of the "guides" love to post pictures of them next to the "best friend" holding a SAL. Gotta drum up business some how when its slow. I can tell you that I cannot tie an FG knot and if Dalton offered to tie it for me I would of been happy to let him.

I can tell you that I cannot tie an FG knot and if Dalton offered to tie it for me I would of been happy to let him. That kind of thing isn’t unique to these guys. A few years ago, on another forum, there was a character who sold “how to” videos for saltwater fishing. He and his posse would answer just about every question posed with “buy these videos”! It got to the point where even if someone posted a fishing report, old boy would jump in to point out that you MUST have learned how to catch those fish from his videos. I even got a couple of pm’s from him insisting that I needed to reference his videos in my posts because there’s simply NO WAY I could have figured out how to catch fish without his masterpieces. The mods were zero help because old boy was a site sponsor. I quit posting since it wasn’t a very good forum anyway. Long way of saying these boys are in “good” company trying to sell their tawdry wares.

Shows that any joe blow can go get lucky. You need help tying a knot then you aren't a fisherman. So you’ve never been taught how to tie a knot? You were born knowing how tie a Palomar?

Weird that he mentioned tying his knot as a way to show he was somehow involved. On that note, my fat fingers struggle to tie a fg knot in the cold with light line. Hopefully dalton will be at the ramp to do it for me next time I come down there to chase the Boom Shacka Laka Gi Gi Gi Gi Giiiiiiiiant Bassssss!

When did people start calling them “bigs”? What would you prefer, jones? I’ll change it. Would “large bass” work better for you?

Let dalton have day in the spotlight, he tied the knot that made it all happen! I don’t know enough is Dalton a local guide or apart of this traveling guide group I’ve been hearing about?
