Non-Typical Solutions

Here are the two victims of my fish guiding....they both think I am the greatest ever....we got lucky!!! This is the first time they ever fished, it was so fun to watch the excitement doing something I take for granted!!

Its because Big Lake has been getting lots of rain and the nutrients goes way up creating lots phosphorus and nitrogen. Just the right cocktail of sun, rain, wind, and weather will produce this bloom. The algea bloom could kill all the fish off it gets to bad. Cannero lake just had one and killed last month I heard. Big Lake being deeper and larger I doubt it will kill, it never does from what Ive seen. There were lots of lunkers swimming right up at the edge just under the murk slime.......it made me worry that in fact there was going to be a kill! I just have never seen it like that at Big Lake.

We trolled Nelson on Saturday......dragging peacock ladies on sinking line......probably caught 20 fish in an hour....nothing but stockers but we had two girls with us that had never fished before so now according to them I am the best fishing guide around. Middle of the day trolling least favorable conditions beautiful weather and enjoyed being up there!!!

What is up with the thick build up of algae slime at Big Lake......I have never seen it like that there. Nelson and Luna yes but not at Big Lake???

Man.....where did the summer go???

Very cool........gotta get back up there......

Looking for pros/cons on these two rigs. Starting with 2003-2008 used models...... According to craigslist they aren't even in the same price range and I am curious as to the why? I have owned an older model Tacoma but am fighting with the prices.......I loved the Tacoma I had......

Sweet ride to the promised land Tommy..........

Cool finds and video.......jealous for sure!!!

Went there undefeated back in 78.......and got beat on the court and then got beat at practice the following Monday for losing to a not so good team........back in those days horse racing was all I remember hearing about Ruidoso.......
