Flench you sure know how to make my mouth water.

Wurz were you fishing for crappie to? Crappies can be either incredibly aggressive or very light strikers. I guess like any other fish. But Ive had them hit big lures like Rapalas while trolling for walleye, lures almost as big as them. Heres a bunch we caught while trolling for stripers in Arkansas back in, oh, 'bout '90. Im the guy on the left, when I was young and fleet, and the guy in the middle is my partner who I tragically lost in 2002 to a heart attack. Ronnie loved fishing crappie and we hit them like that all week. If theres any better eating Ive yet to find it.

Nice , that pic reminds me of the old good times . Like before there was a limit to what you can catch , We go out catch over 100 easy in the spawn . Hands would be so sore from cleaning fish have to take a week off to heal , lol .
 I'm down right now . Bent an axle on the boat trailer and they are high dollar . Going to have to make my own and that's putting me off the bite . Your right about the eating part . Best tasting fish one can eat .
  Heading up to TN next month to fish the Tennessee River at Wilson Dam . Going for catfish but there are some nice size stripers there too that are fun to catch . Going to carry me some goldfish this time and go after some yellow cats . They run around 30 ponds or more and they are really good to eat next to crappie . Time to re-line  some reels to 30 pound line now . It's a hard place to fish with the rocks and concrete walls all around and really bad when the generators kick on but thats when the fish start to bite . You got to have a good boat set up and know what your doing .

Yea I'm burnt to piss, broke a rod, and had a reel take a toejam on me today.  Really don't feel like cleaning fish right meow.

And I get the dunce of the day award.  I almost left the house without a rod, then after meeting up with a buddy and driving out into the sticks I had a sudden realization when we we're about 5 minutes from the stream...  My diddlying waders were sitting in my diddlying car. :bhead  An hour and a bunch of gas wasted.

Any day fishing that starts out like this, is a good day.



Manhattan Skyline sunrise



Love this picture, couldnt resist taking it..... its the sun rise reflecting on the glass etching 



Enough of that now......The fishing was great....Stripers up to 30lbs...we got them mostly on the troll, trolling umbrella rigs



Yours Truly holding a 25lb striper




My buddies new boat....44 foot Jersey Devil  Twin Cummins Diesels. Amazing, amazing, amazing fishing platform....and pretty darn comfy inside as well....She rides as nice as she looks.


We ended the day with 5 keepers to 30lbs....some lost.....a bit slow but didnt matter....weather was amazing and really (finally) melted the winter chill out of my soul.....

Cant wait for TUNA this year!!!!!

Looks like it was  a real nice day mBailey! 


Finally got ice out here and have been able to go bass fishing the last two weekends.  First weekend I went to a lake known for good numbers but not many big fish.  The jerkbait bite was on and between two of us we caught over 40 pass and a few pickerel.
   This last weekend went to another Finger lake that has bigger fish, thinking with the warm week we had they would be moving up and getting active.  Water temperature was still in the mid to upper forties, which was the same as the previous week's lake, but we just couldn't find 'em.  Between the two of us we only got 3 bass and two pike.  My only fish of the day was a 4lber, but it still was great to finally be out there again.

Hopefully with another week of warm weather they will be up in the shallows feeding for prespawn and we can pound them with a squarebill.   :aok

Big fish of the day....

Nice one Bug.  Been getting them here on Spooks, frogs and buzzbaits for the last week or so.  Nothing over 3lbs but it's just great to watch topwaters get smoked.

Nice pic's guy's . I can't wait until the 10th through the 20 next month on the TN river . Just hope I can keep my boat off the rocks . Wilson Dam is hell when those generators kick on . Going make some cool pic's . Father lost one boat doing the same thing many years back but the number of fish there is worth it . Time to reline my deep sea rod's and reel's now for that's what it take's to get some of them in .

EDIT: Question , Are those big striped ones good to eat ? Just wondering if I should keep them or through them back . I be selling all the catfish but I know it's not legal to sell the bass ,
