🐈 Happy ! Cheeto would like to know me-hows everyone's summers going?! This tabby is never crabby! He's a feline who's always feelin' fine! Whether he's tailing a group of kids around, or stretched-out sunning himself on someone's deck... this "joy boy" loves making the rounds, visiting all his favorite camp-purrs! Some people adopt cats, but this cool cat has adopted many many people! Has Cheeto visited you this season for some scritches or belly rubs, or co-opted one of your camping chairs or picnic tables? Share your latest Cheeto pics or tails... we mean tales... below in the comments! 🧡🐱

It's and this week's post makes us really want to !

When Dennis checked-in to his campsite with his family last Friday, and told us that he was a YouTube Content Creator, we didn't know what to expect! We mistakenly thought he meant that he was there to review the campground, and that had us feeling pretty "tents", and on a busy weekend, that kind of pressure was "s’more" than we bargained for, and had us asking "RV" really ready for our close-up?! But just when we were getting all "camp-fired" up, Dennis corrected our misconception, and that helped us "marsh-mellow" out!

As we were "reel-ing" and saying "Holy Carp!" and hoping that having a Content Creator camping with us wasn't going to be a pain in the "Bass", Dennis informed us that he was talking "a-boat" his fishing-themed vlogging channels, where he posts under the moniker 'Dash Bass Fishing', and we "pike-d" the sound of that!

🎣🪱 Lake Joy fishers, anglers, and casters—meet Dennis, the man behind 'Dash Bass Fishing'! 📹🎬

Dennis creates videos featuring his expert fishing tactics, tips & tricks for the best lures & baits, exciting catches, and plenty of authentic action from his time out on the water—from streams & rivers to ponds & lakes.

His videos explore everything from choosing the right lures or baits for successful catches in murky waters, testing out unusual jigs & spinners, understanding seasonal weather patterns for better strikes, tying reliable knots for securing your fishinglines, some unexpected catches, and even some friendly Dad-versus-Daughter fishing rivalry!

Whether you have been Bass fishing for decades, or are still just learning how to hook a worm, 'Dash Bass Fishing' offers an entertaining, engaging mix of helpful information, honest fishing experiences, impressive strikes, ones that got away, and the excitement of never knowing what might bite next!

'Dash Bass Fishing' offers a personable look at what can happen when you get outside and head down to the water to cast a line and see what is waiting for you beneath the surface!

Below we are sharing some of Dennis' Bass fishing videos that he shot during his stay here at Lake Joy, for all of our campers & fishing enthusiasts to enjoy!

After you watch, tell us in the comments:

We know that has been MIA, so to fix that, here's some FIA (Fishing In Action!)

Seasonal Camper Wayne Tweeton caught a Walleye on July 9th, using a dark green crankbait. It was 29-inches long, 16-inches in girth, and weighed approximately 10lbs!

Seasonal Camper Mark Goedert caught two beautiful Smallmouth Bass back at the beginning of May!

Seasonal Camper & Lake Joy outdoors crew member Tim Stierman caught an approx. 19-inch, 3.5lb Bass after work back at the end of May, while his fellow groundskeeping team member Ed Wedig caught an approx. 39-inch, 15lb Northern on the same fishing trip. They said Tim's fish was caught on a rattler, Ed's was caught on "pure luck" (AKA a rubber minnow on a jig head) LOL!

Meanwhile, another dual- LJC Seasonal & outdoors staff member, Jim Hull, caught six Bass back on June 9th — three of them were Smallmouths. His biggest catch that night was 3.61lbs.

Also included here are pics of an assortment of other catches sent to us so far this season (if you have more details, please add them in the comments).

Like the old saying goes, "That's All The New Fish To Print!" (or something like that...)

Have you caught any beautiful Bass, pretty Pikes, winsome Walleyes, comely Catfish, beguiling Bluegills, striking Sunfish, or other fetching fish at Lake Joy in 2026? Comment below with photos & details, or send a private message here to this page, or email [email protected]
