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

You guys have to see this moon rising. My friend got some shots. Turns out we may have ruined a $2k lens last time we were out.

 

Atleast I got my Striper for the Va. Bass Challenge, now I need a smallmouth and I got it. Bad news the 4R is wrecked.

 

Pre-collision shot. It was a glorious day!

 

This guy had a whole bunch of freshwater clams in his stomach.

 

106th trout 2022.

 

Even with a gimpy left arm.

 

Motor City Fall walleye fishing so much fun

 

Wow nice trolling? I remember that city well. Put that $8 dollars a hour to good use too.

 

This was jig fishing so just a slow drift but use an electric motor to slow your drift down. The river has a fast current. The goal is to keep the line very straight and vertical one hundred percent. It’s a lot of fun to feel the fish hit the jig. The depth of the water is about 30ft.

 

Ya I caught some in Wis slow trolling in a canoe. They don’t taste good.

 

Geez, you go in the woods around here and you get fed.

 

Thanks USMC!

 

Arm doesn’t hurt when I’m catchin fish?

 

A good day.

 

Dinner time.

 

I just recently stopped putting lead split shot on with my teeth. I’m using pliers now.

 

I off-roaded the Corolla and managed stream crossings.
Good news: my TPMS sensor that went bad (light was blinking) reset itself.

 

Five stream crossings then three on foot,
Getting my steps in,
I’ve got water in my boot.

 

The trout are harder to catch but bigger in size this time. I caught 3 Fall Fish too. I worked the stream for miles fishing along the way. There were trout spawning in the shallows splashing but they don’t bite I left them alone.

 

I managed to catch 4 today it was tough. I was pretty excited that one was a Brown trout.
And I caught a small Largemouth bass!

 

135th trout!

 

I fish our local harbors and marinas for Spotted Bay Bass, Sand Bass, Calico Bass, Halibut and whatever else might chime in. Love how hard the Spotties fight! 14" is the "legal keeper" size for the bass, but I always Catch & Release.

Here are a few from this weekend.

 

My nephew caught his first trout!

 

Drag them around the house a little.

 

That’s Leopold and Ember. Future Sharp-shooter and Fireman?

 

I’m going to try and catch 150 trout this year.

 

I bought a mask for twenty bucks, swam in 7 different places. And identified over twenty species of fish. Also starfish and two kinds of sea urchins. I even saw a pair of French Angel fish that are not on this board. Bonefish, huge Tarpon, some kind of reef Grouper, and a Barracuda!
