Fishing. Let's see your work.....

Oh, that makes sense. I wonder why it's only a southern thing. I guess the term up here is "panfish" because they're so delicious!

 

Limited out!!! Don’t feel sorry for the fish. When it gets hot they go belly up and sink to the bottom......I’m using Berkley PowerBait with a salmon egg hook...I may break out the fly rod next but it’s very hard to navigate the stream....

 

Watched the sun come up over the trout stream as I caught my limit!! SUV is running great!! It was tough fishing, l busted my a$$ a few times, hopefully they stock again this week!!!

 

There not posting stocking info on the state’s website. And gonna slow down the stocking schedule. Here’s my current status on fish/cost.
License=$60
Bait=$30
Fuel=$40
I’m not adding my fishing pole cause I reuse it every year.
Trout=67
Cost per trout=$1.90
And I get well needed exercise!!!

 

Yes Rainbow!! Caught a Brook earlier this season. I haven’t caught a Brown yet this year. It all depends on what the state loads up the stock truck with. They are so fresh they sometimes curl up in the frying pan. If you freeze or buy them from the store, they’re not nearly as good.....

 

Sometimes they get a “hooked” jaw called a kype.....

 

As I headed to the trout stream this morning not anticipating to catch anything until they restock. I thought to myself I made it this far, one year closer to “nifty” fifty. I caught my limit of trout in under two hours!! I couldn’t ask for a better Bday present!!!

 

I “Limited” out. Even caught a ten inch Brook trout. He has kind of a crooked spine, grew up a lil to close to the wall at the hatchery...Did not see a soul, nobody knows they stocked again on my Bday!!!

 

I’ve lost five pounds of belly eating fish!!! And it’s a great workout, navigating the stream and steep slopes...

 

Happy birthday man

 

Caught my 9th species of fish this year. Cool looking Fall Fish a member of the Chub family. I’m just gettin warmed up!!!

 

There's guys around here that catch those for a living on the Columbia. I was reading an article not to long ago and the guy who caught the most last year made like 140k. ODFW pays people to catch them because they eat the salmon/steelhead eggs. It's dependent on the size but you can make like 10 bucks a fish!

 

Ya I threw him back in the woods...JK

 

Random decision to hit the lake yesterday evening but a little too late to hook up the boat plus Bull Shoals is about 22' high so we grabbed a few rods and hit the bank for a couple of hours before storms rolled in. Got a decent smallmouth on a Jackhammer.

 

Time to catfish!!!this is about average size for me prob 25#....The state released Blue Cats here in the 70’s for sport fishing...

 

Only prob is the channel where I fish is in Maryland waters where fishing is banned but close to shore it’s aloud in Va......Hummmm might have to take a calculated risk...Or just fish outback with my trout heads. Prob get a citation.....

 

That look like MORE than 25#! What was the length? Girth?? That a FAT fish!

 

I think your right usually a 30# citation is 38 inches long...it’s close...

 

I've never caught a blue. That's a bucket list fish for me. They get so fat!

 

Slide on by??? Let things heat up first. They are a southern fish....

 

“Like” if you want to see today’s catch. 7 species, 4 hours, 12 ft johnboat???

 

Quoting because I can't "like" it twice.

 

Ok here you go. All on the trout series rod....American Shad, Largemouth Bass,Yellow perch, Blue Catfish, Striper, Hickory Shad, and a White Perch...Well I didn’t catch the 2 1/2 pound bass, I did catch a smaller one...

 

The Blue Catfish faught like a CHAMP! He is in the oven right now baking....

 

4Runners.com fishing team “Limited” out!!!

 

Stream crossings.....got the Reeboks wet....

 

I need to go fishing! Dig this thread

 

We got a heavy rain coming, streams gonna be locked up for at least 24 hours. Left my beanie on the shore too. It’s a goner...Unless I feel ballsy and 4wd through it prob about two feet deep but moving....

 

I left my fishin pole at the trout stream one day. Went back right away and gone. Somebody got a $200 dollar setup...

 

Recovered my beanie and just landed my first trout for the day. There hitting slow. Water is up and hard to locate them.

A couple hours later: caught my limit for the day. Took a quick vid of landing one and my phone fell in the stream. A few minutes later I see it sitting on the bottom. Didn’t phase it one bit works fine..................https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=z4qfcW-8uiE
