        I'm on the South Western tip of Portugal with Paula, the coastline is amazing, but I've yet to catch…...It's a steep learning curve, never having fished like this before....All balls out on outcrops as far out as you can get, There's a 4-6 foot swell running and I'm regularly being dunked by rogue waves (I am wearing a life vest)....

          really beautiful @Giles even if you don't catch anything. Lake Superior didn't provide me any fish. I bet casting into that wind is just great too. Have fun and get swept away by the beauty, not the waves.

            That coastline is beautiful and scary looking at the same time.  Hope you and Paula are enjoying Portugal!

              2oz lures does the trick

                Boy @Giles, this lure really can catch fish!
                My nephew and I caught 5 bass, 1 perch, 1 bluegill and 1 northern.
                Temps have been in the upper 90’s for the last week so it was really hard to find the fish and they were deep in search of cool water.

                  Oh YES….Congrats

                  Me, on the other hand, spent every morning in Portugal fishing hard from 7ish to 9ish for zippo/nada/fuck-all/nothing.....

                  Will go back, unfinished business.....

                    I’m currently refinishing (sanding and staining) our deck.  I rather be fishing in Portugal even if I wasn’t catching anything.  🙂

                        Got out early on Lake Waconia today before it got nuts (it got nuts anyhow). Caught a good number of fish and my first walleye of the year.
                        Glad to get back on the water.

                              @jordanscollected those are excellent cooked in a smoker stuffed with crab meat. Those are nice sized fish.

                                Thanks guys! I’m taking my nephew on Tuesday to Waconia again. Hopefully more pics to come.

                                @Filthy all catch and release today, but that walleye would have been great as you suggested.

                                Get castin!!!!

                                  Caught a boatload today. A big storm rolled through and the topwater action was poppin. 40 bass, 6 northern and 2 pumpkin seeds in 5 hours. We took cover from the storm for a bit under a rich guys boat slip.

                                            Dont be.  I've probably done 150 hours Bass fishing (Sea Bass) so far this year, and have had 2 fish  :o
