Power bait is my go to creek or lake. In a creek I will put a small pinch in the smallest hook I can find and use the smallest spilt shit I can find about a foot above the bait. I throw in swift water and let the bait wash into calmer pools. Usually have pretty good luck that way. As far as...
Well my buddy Johnny and I met at the lake again today and he had his grandson Ethan with him. We let Ethan wind in all the fish and we left with our limits in about 2 hours. Sure was fun watching him land all those trout. That gave us 12 more and we are now at 296 I believe we may make that 300...
Both my rods are 7 foot with that ofluger reel on them. I spool half the reel with braid and then tie a uniknot onto 2lb line to trout fish. If crappie fishing I use the same rods but just put a heavier mono or feurocarbin on. I also use a 10 ft rod with 6 lb test to crappie fish. Seems I catch...
Sure was cold enough this morning and I was excited to try out my new rod after breaking one the other day. It was a cheapo but I liked it and went to get another just like it. They had sold out and after looking at every rod the local Walmart had I finally picked out another 7 ft light action...
I ever catch em that cheap they have to do two things at the store. That's restock that section of the shelf and put the fire out behind me as I be burning the soles off my shoes to get to the register
I just left a local food truck and had a corned beef Reuben myself. They make the best I've ever eaten. Also found a corned beef brisket on sale that I snatched up today. Manager said they may have a few more in a couple days. I'm gonna keep a check.
The two big ones
They were probably both citation trout but we didn't fool with having them weighed or officially measured to fill out for the certificate. We've caught several that were citation sized but both of us figure we don't need a paper certificate to put up to collect dust.
I personally pick em when I find em. I've left em several times and never seen any get any bigger. I've also found some big yellows that I know had to have gotten bigger after they popped up because I can't figure how something would come up and be big as a pop can just over night. Besides that...
Everytime I go, catch fish or not it takes me back, back to much simpler times and very fond memories of my father who taught me how to fish. I sure miss him and visit his grave often but remember him most when I'm on the water. Guess because we spent most of our time together either fishing or...
Johnny and I met up and went in the blistering cold and snow this morning. We only managed 3 each but caught some nice ones. I haven't measured yet but will the two biggest. I caught one we thought was big 2nd pic and Johnny had to go and outdo me and catch a monster 3rd pic. It was cold but...
