MFCC anglers’ most memorable outings of 2025 ran the gamut: an act of kindness, two personal bests and two new species in the same day, a great end to the fishing year, a bucket list striper slipping off just two feet away, and a beautiful evening interrupted only by a constellation.Looking back on the fishing …
This report was originally posted inside our Members’ Forum on December 1st, 2025 Location Strategy We primarily targeted the north side of the pond, where the sun exposure causes faster warming during winter months compared to the south side.

This 2025 season has drawn me deeper into …
It’s been exactly 5 years to the day since I filmed this trip with Ian. Man does time fly! Today I figured I would re-share this video, because the area we fished during this trip is often quite productive during late May and June. Even though we did not catch any big bass while filming, the …
