"What kind..."

My response to 'what kind' is usually "cold".

The answer is:

"One of each, please"

excellent guess...Potholes just south (moses drains into the potholes)  That would be a very small largemouth bass. We don't keep bass, only walleye.  Mmmmmm, beer battered walleye. Interesting enough, we caught one of every species in the lake except carp..., Trout, walleye, small mouth bass, large mouth bass, catfish, perch and crappie.

(my granparents had a 300 acre hay ranch there) Wonder if my little boat is still hidding there . thats were the blue's hang out .  i caught alot of fish outta there while waiting for the hay to grow

Cool! You should get out there again...the fishin' ain't too bad.

Soak some corn off the cob in some sugar, then put a few peices on a hook and let it sit on the bottom, crack for carp.

I took my two boys fishing a couple of weeks ago for the first time.  Only problem was that the only hook we had for the line was waaaaaaay too big for fishing from a dock.  So...Dad had to improvise and go back to his youth when we used to catch fish for bait without any bait.  We'd do this by dangling the line in the water and watch and wait until a fish swam directly over the hook and then "YANK".  We'd catch them in the fins, the eyes anywhere but the mouth.

Well, this day I did have bait and I just waited until I felt a nibble...then "YANK"!  Worked well actually....but a week later with a small hook it was just too easy.  You put the line in and then wait 2 seconds and you'd have a fish.

Most of them were the size of the one in your last pic though Rip.

^ Illegal in NY. But only if they catch you.

its really a beautiful place u can see for hundreds of miles , when the stars come out its like you can reach out an touch them .

i went a couple of yrs ago .. i'll probely go later in the summer (after the go see mum  trip)

i remember during the summer rains the fish would litterly jump into your boat  .
 its kinda a wierd resevoir (lake) the types of fish vary from one end to the other .


(whats really funny is i didnt pay attention to the rippers shirt til now lol )
