Fish are biting on Bartlett Lake! We landed some real beauties on 9/16/22. Drop-shotting proved to be the highest producing pattern for the day. Working the bait slow, presented the bait for the most bites. Morning Dawn/purple hues were best with a chartreuse chaser. 25-35’ were the best depths focusing on steep breaks and ledges. Shad on the locator was important. Get out and FISH! Open dates available! . . @berkleyfishing @13fishing @eagleclawfishing @rammounts @abugarcia_fishing @fenwickfishing @yamahamotorusa @alumacraftboats @plinefishing @reddy2fish

Our first @avondaleparksandrec Family Fishing Lessons class of 2022 happened today at Festival Fields Park in Avondale, Arizona. Abe with @bassfinger_fishing_club is my partner and fellow instructor helping me build our fishing education and programming within the city of Avondale. He and I are honored to volunteer our time sharing our love and passion for the sport of fishing with city residents and beyond. Our turnout today was excellent proving there is interest and excitement propelling our programs in the right direction. Proof is there with our registered attendees and additional participants showing up to have fun and learn today. We now have three parks: Festival Fields, Friendship and now our new Alamar Park offering a variety of activities with urban fishing lakes being a wonderful feature. We have two additional classes scheduled for October 15th at Friendship Park and November 5th @ Alamar Park. Information on classes and enrollment can be found here: https://secure.rec1.com/AZ/city-of-avondale-parks-recreation/catalog/group/11910/216866/57a80c24fd08fa28e5949e8037674648 We are currently planning our Winter/Spring programming. Stay tuned! Our Open House at Alamar Park will be October 8th from 9:00-1:00 pm featuring free fishing including use of equipment at bait provided by @sportsmans_warehouse in Avondale.

6/9/22 Delavan Lake: My annual outing was a blast as usual with my buddy Jeremy Brock catching up and doing a little fishing. Missing our buddy @cchappell! We need to name our annual trip out on the water starting summer. Ideas welcome in the comments! Requirements of the trip: Trip to @lakeside_bait_delavan Jäegermeister @johnsonville Summer Sausage True WI Cheese @newglarusbrewing Spotted Cow and Moon Man Beer Night crawlers Suckers Charged boat batteries Charged @gopro batteries Lunch at the at the Inn Between Fist bumps with Dean Kitzman Endless stories from the past twelve months….. Many of the gills are ready to pop. Crazy how behind it is here. Had a fun day catching pike and gills over emerging weeds.

Bumming! Lost my good luck @plinefishing hat on Delavan Lake. A gust of wind caught it and she sank out of sight quickly. The second hat I’ve donated to the lake. I lost my favorite @leinenkugels hat in 2008 in almost the same spot off of Assembly Park. Time to order a couple more @plinefishing hats for good measure!

6/10/22 Delavan Lake: We had a fun morning on my home body of water. Caught a mixed bag of bluegill, perch, crappie, largemouth, smallmouth and walleye. Had quite a few northern pike chasing in 8-9” bluegill. No luck casting or clicker set-up soaking suckers. The sky opened up with pouring rain about 10:00 am (around 3 hours early than predicted). We muscled out a couple more hours until we were fully soaked. Of course the rain gear was left behind expecting to be off the water long before the rain started. Lots of largemouth bedded up, pre-spawn bluegill and post-spawn crappie. Seems like everything is about two weeks behind here. 64-66° water today. . . @kalins_fishing @berkleyfishing @eagleclawfishing @plinefishing @lakeside_bait_delavan

Makes you think twice fishing up against cliff banks.

Lake Pleasant - Peoria, AZ 5/22/22: A little family outing with my wife and four-legged boy #fitzthedog. We found the green ear sunfish suspended over a deep drop off just inside of a no wake area.

My volunteer hours are stacking up quickly for 2022. Volunteered 5/7/22 at the @azgfd Mesa Regional Office helping Amy unbox and assemble (175) @zebcofishing rod and reel setups. The two of us managed to fully rig (95) set ups for the upcoming Green Valley Festival in @adventurepayson next weekend May 14, 2022. She and the AZ Game and Fish crew have (80) left to rig. A second volunteer day has been planned for May 10th to finish rigging the remaining setups. I’ll be volunteering at the festival as well manning the fishing booth repairing rod/reel setups and mentoring anglers for the day. Honored to be part of a great organization as a volunteer and educator.

Sportsman's Warehouse here in Avondale, AZ pulled out the stops donating equipment to help grow our inventory of fishing rods & reels and enough terminal tackle to get some great programming started. We went from 20 rod/reel setups needing TLC to 42 setups ready to go. Having quality, functional and dependable equipment not only will keep us up and running; but will also provide an enjoyable experience for our city residents and program participants taking part in our fishing activities. Our Family Campout is happening Saturday 4/23-4/24 including fishing from 4-7 pm. Our first instructional fishing 101 will be coming the end of May. Stay tuned.

Now is the time! Great weather and the fish are biting!

I’ve never enjoyed untangling, re-rigging and fixing rods and reels as much as during the Tres Rios Festival. Seeing the excitement, joy and fun families had over the weekend was so worth it. Donated a good chunk of my stash of @berkleyfishing #trilenext line keeping the rods and reels working. And fishing! What a great festival@and weekend. @azgfd @avondaleedge @avondaleevents @cityofavondaleaz @avondaleparksandrec @berkleyfishing #reddyguideservice #berkleyfishing #avondaleaz

I truly wish I could spend more time with my dad. I cherish every moment. Fishing is always an adventure which started shortly after I could walk. Home is truly where my heart is. Always a special feeling going back home with so many memories of my youth and the traditions I hold close. Love you dad!

One of the first outings on Delavan Lake last week was with my close friend Jeremy. True brothers from another mother. We were certainly cut from the same cloth. We first met working on a large project together in Milwaukee and have been friends ever since. We had an epic day targeting mainly northern pike, but managed to catch a few bass in the mix. Water temps were hovering 75-77° with the heat and humidity contributing to the climb in temp. We ran suckers on clicker set-ups in 12-22’ of water focusing on areas with steep drops from shallow to deep. We lucked out using electronics clearly marking fish half way down all the way to the bottom. Most of our fish smacked the sucker on the initial drop. Fish were certainly aggressive. We blew through (4) dozen minnows in no time! Thanks to Lakeside Bait & Tackle for the high quality bait! Keeping air on the minnows and monitoring the bait water temp was critical to keep them lively and healthy. Truly miss clouds on the horizon with intense Midwest storms in the distance. Looking forward to next year my friend! • • • • Eagle Claw Fishing 13 Fishing Kalin's Fishing Fenwick Fishing Cabela's Jacob Leinenkugel Brewing Co.

What a fun morning on Bartlett Lake! A three generation Father’s Day fishing trip for a great group of guys! Water temp 83-88° at the surface. 93° air temp @ 4:30 am. 111° @ 9:45 am. The topwater bite was slow, but the Texas Rig & Drop-Shot bite didn’t disappoint! The lack of shad in the shallows presented a good crawfish pattern bite. Texas rigged Berkley Fishing #rocketcraws YUM #critters and Zoom Bait #babybrushhogs produced well! Later on, we moved deeper finding schools of shad with big boys behind. We switched gears casting drop-shot rigs accordingly. Drop-shotting Kalin's Fishing #weenieworms and 13 Fishing #vertigominnows yielded numbers this morning. Happy Father’s Day! Get out and fish with the family! Thank you Marissa for treating the guys to a fun morning! Thank you for spending time with me on the water - Keith, Vinnie, Riley and Ryan!

Epic day on a lake that holds my heart here in Wisconsin. So many memories, spending so many hours living my dream guiding for nearly two decades. Sharing my passion of fishing with others has left me with some the best memories and experiences of my life to date. Spent countless hours fishing solo soul searching during some dark times in my “Happy Place” over the years. My buddy Wayne and I decided to enter the Panfish Tournament being hosted by @lakeside_bait_delavan today. We worked hard for our (7) #BlueGill and (7) #Crappie coming up with 7.62 pounds for the win! Our efforts paid off placing 1st.

Epic weekend fishing Roosevelt Lake. Drop-shotting accounted for the majority of fish caught. The Vertigo Minnow performed beyond my expectations! Blew through all of my baits.

Bass are loving the @berkleyfishing #lugworm. Texas rigged with a Neko weight pegged in the tail presents the bait precisely for neutral/lethargic fish during the hottest part of the day muscling through the mid-day lull.

#13fishing by my side here in Arizona! Excellent day Saturday chasing post-down bass. Covering water fast cranking 12’ #cliffbangers through schools of shad catching schooling bass. @13fishing

Great morning for top water! A cooler morning made for a little work-and it paid dividends! My @rebel_lures Pop-R is holding its own in a world of Rico’s here in the southwest! Love the tried and true classics! @lurenetfishing @plinefishing @fenwickfishing @alumacraftboats @yamahaoutboards

Digging through my archives, I found a “new” old Zebco “33”. I remember getting this a very long time ago for a birthday. It still had the original split ring and cable monofilament! Being “made in the USA” it must be from the late-70’s to early-80’s. Truly workhorse reels with very little plastic. @zebcofishing #oldschool

New tools in the toolbox! Bassarinos ahead! @berkleyfishing #crankin #postspawn #bass

A little before and after fixing my cargo nets on the bow. They haven’t looked this good since I bought her in ‘08. Thanks to a fellow @alumacraftboats owner in Chicago sending me some bungee cord to repair and refresh. After some cussing and temper tantrums all done and she looks good!

Made the upgrade to a heavier duty Marineco trolling motor plug/receptacle set-up. (4) twist and lock plug/receptacle replacements in 13 years. Hopefully this will hold up longer. @minnkotamotors @alumacraftboats

12 hours of fishing and a 6 hour round trip made for a long yet productive and enjoyable day. Water and fin therapy at its finest. @reddyguideservice @13fishing @kalins_fishing @acmetackle @coolbaitlures @berkleyfishing @fenwickfishing @abugarcia_fishing @alumacraftboats @yamahaoutboards @minnkotamotors @humminbirdfishing @war_eagle_custom_lures @booyah_baits @yum_baits @buckeyelures @plinefishing @beckmannets @lurenetfishing @heddon_lures @rebel_lures @gopro

Great day on Roosevelt Lake! 92° air temperature, 70°+ water temps. Winds Northwest 10-15, gusty at times. A mix of pre-spawn, spawners and post-spawn fish. Nearly caught fish in every location. Best rigs were buzzbaits early at sunrise, chatterbaits, @war_eagle_custom_lures spinnerbaits, @buckeyelures swim jigs, and spot remover shaky heads tipped with trick worms and craw baits, Ned rigs with finesse craw baits and worms, finesse jigs and Texas rigs. @plinefishing @berkleyfishing @fenwickfishing @13fishing @alumacraftboats @yamahaoutboards @kalins_fishing @abugarcia_fishing @yum_baits @booyah_baits @lurenetfishing @heddon_lures @rebel_lures @beckmannets

Fresh @plinefishing TCB 8 Carrier Braid on my @13fishing Creed Chrome spinning reel. Ready to sight fish and read the line ripping some lips putting a bend in my @13fishing Omen Black Spinning Rod catching #arizona #desert #bass

Loving my vintage @heddon_lures_ glass rod. It’s been in the family for many decades. The fish slime has preserved the cork handle beautifully. @lurenetfishing @kalins_fishing @berkleyfishing @plinefishing

Walleye Candy. Casting our arms off in steady rain at the #rockriver chasing fish in #newvillewi and #indianfordwi. Let the April shower bring the May flowers. @kalins_fishing @acmetackle @13fishing @berkleyfishing

Fun afternoon fishing with Auggie and Papa on a rainy April day here in Wisconsin. @kalins_fishing @acmetackle @berkleyfishing @plinefishing #rockriver #newvillewisconsin #indianford

Dialed in on pre pre-spawn crappies here in the southwest. Cooler weather have kept the water temps under 60°. Warmer temps moving this week will fire them up. @13fishing @kalins_fishing @plinefishing @visitphoenix @alumacraftboats @yamahaoutboards @eagleclawfishing @coolbaitlures

Striper action on Pleasant Lake! @churchtacklecompany @berkleyfishing @rapalausa @smithwick_lures @13fishing @plinefishing @reddyguideservice

Had an Epic weekend catching a mixed bag. Fished Barlett and Pleasant Lake. Pleasant Lake treated me better which produced largemouth, crappie and striped bass. Water temp on both lakes averaged around 58-62° all weekend. Crappies were staging in 16-24’ of water. Caught all of the fish casting @acmetackle @kalins_fishing scrubs and lunker grubs on 1/32-1/16 oz jig heads. Largemouth were all small males caught just off the shore. Swim baits, drop-shot rigs and @coolbaitlures underspins yielded the most fish. Stripers were caught trolling in 40-75’ of water utilizing snap or keel weights pulled behind my @churchtacklecompany planer boards to get the cranks down just above the suspended bait balls of shad. #5 @berkleyfishing Flicker Shads, @rapalausa suspended Shad Raps and Husky Jerks worked well in natural colors. A slight cool down early this week will soften the bite a bit.

Fishing is heating up in the #desert @berkleyfishing Flicker Shads = Bass Candy.

Chunky Rainbow Trout! #berkleyfishing power bait on the menu! @berkleyfishing @plinefishing 4# #Floroclear
