Anyone catch anything today?
« on: May 05, 2013, 05:04:18 PM »
Be it saltwater or freshwater fish? Lets see it or hear your stories!
It was absolutely gorgeous out today and decided to do some fishing while the lady was at her firearm's class.
Caught a few bows today out on the lake and Its got me all excited for this years fishing adventures.
Gonna be a good year.. With the humpy run on top of that. Ohhh boy.  :IBCOOL:

Got these guys prepped with some butter, onions, and a little Johneys seasoning. Just waiting for the BBQ to heat up  :chuckle:

I was out at Tanawax today for an hour or so. Couple of bites but I didnt catch any. It is kinda strange because I alway catch at least a couple of trout there this time of year. Thats why its called fishin. :chuckle:

For sure, I left because all the darn people in they're boats who like to hang out right above our fishing hole in like a 1/4 acre spot.
When its a 32 acre lake. That's pretty ridiculous. There was a few people exchanging foul words to say the least.
I couldn't sit down for 5 minutes without getting a nibble at one point, Had 2 fish on and landed in probably 10 minutes. The other about half hour later. Then nothing for about an hour (That's when the boats moved in) Then the fish just stopped biting, or ran to another spot in the lake.

Ya, I am cursed!!! I can pull up every ling that burns my reel and is 4 ft. long, but when it comes to a ling that is in the slot  :dunno: I have never caught a ling under the size limit. I guess I am immune to catching dinks  8) I couldn't even catch bait that was under 12"  :chuckle:

Whatever bites! (except rockfish in PS) Today flounder, but I like bullhead or some other sculpin because they are easy to keep alive and squirming  :tup:

I took my boy out for some kokanee this weekend. Nailed 8 over 12" each day. He talked me into swinging into a bay  and trying for smallmouth even though we didn't have any bass vear with us. He has never fished for bass and he managed these 2 for his first! :tup: He even did it with an 5' ultralight rod and 4lb test! 

Pics are screen shots from the videos I took.

not sure if anyone will be into this or not. When I still lived back east, we lived and breathed striper fishing on the Hudson River this  time of year. My buddy sent a pic of what he caught today....
