Iโm a Bluegill fisherman!!! Caught two today that were 11โ. Havenโt caught one under 8โ. Finally zoned in on right color lure today. Bluegills started mauling black ...more lures. Having more fun catching them than bass.
Caught 6 bluegills- each one a totally different color. Had a monster one in my hand, it stabbed me then flew overboard without a picture. 55 bass up to 3 pounds. ...more Canโt find any big ones. Tried NED, Keitech, and small crankbait. Most on NED again. 18 mph winds with kayak. South Carolina .
Yearly trip to South Carolina. Caught 73 bass and 3 monster looking bluegills in about 4 hours kayak fishing. Used Ned Rigs entire time- tried three colors and all ...more worked great: black, snake, and bubblegum. Also switch between black and chartreuse jigheads both worked great. Winds were 18 with 25-40 mph gusts.
Trout stripe was golden colored in person. Rainbow was yellowish not like a palomino or golden rainbow trout. Donโt think Iโve caught one like this before. 37 trout ...more and one largemouth bass with 20 mph winds. Couldnโt find the crappie .
Catching Crappie the size of mountains. No ice fishing open water the key has been to fish slower than slow. So slow it hurts. 1 cast is better than 10.
Iโm 99.999% Catch and Release. My mother for her 85th birthday this week wanted a fish fry. My fishing partner and I went to a lake he had shore fished once in his ...more life and I had never fished. We utilized a Jon Boat with electric trolling motor and killed the fish. Normally lake would be ice covered. 2โ slow moving swimbaits accounted for: 1 white crappie, 12 black crappie, 5 largemouth bass, 1 golden rainbow trout, 30 rainbow trout (biggest was 25โ he caught!), 14 bluegill, 4 sunfish, 74 perch for 141 total in approximately 9 hours. Launched before sunrise. Saw 3 ๐ฆ , hundreds of various ๐ฆ, mink, and only 1 bank fisherman. (Couldnโt keep trout season is closed.)
Good day on the river before big storm. Got sunburned. Two of us caught: 1 walleye, 3 channel catfish, and 16 smallmouth bass.
See previous hawk photo for story. Love this picture figured I should share it with you. He was actually doing a doggy paddle with his talons .
PB Red-Tailed Hawk!!! (No I did not catch it with my fishing rod.) I was fishing the Susquehanna River today when two hawks engaged in a fight to the death โ ๏ธ. ...more Both hawks hit the water while still engaged in battle. They continued to fight as they tried to drown one another. It was a brutal deadly brawl. Finally pure exhaustion set in and one of the hawks submerged and never resurfaced. I was able to scoop up the remaining Hawk with one hand and place him on the bow of my kayak. People on the bank had called the Pennsylvania Game Commission who took over the care and recovery of the gorgeous bird of prey. There was a second casualty during the excitement. The tackle-box, I had restocked this morning with a gazillion dollars worth of items, also submerged and never resurfaced. Well worth it. My wife worked at a wildlife rehabilitation center in the early 1990โs and gave presentations to schools. The night before presentations a red-tailed hawk, great horned owl, and some other wildlife would sit on the couch and watch TV with us. Always loved the big birds.
