Sorry we haven't posted here in a while....I've had quite a good summer for fishing. I finally tried the Zara Spook & now switched to the Rapala Skitter Walk....I topwater strikes!!! The bass go nuts!!! Last weekend, on the 4th, I caught 7 bass...nothing less than a pound!! LSM got a sweet 2-3 pound smallie on that lure! LSM & I will post the pics soon. BTW-got my first trout as my first fish of the season on a bass sized Rooster Tail....Wasn't expecting it but it was a great catch (as always, I support catch & release ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troutman Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 Here are a couple of really nice pics. during Pagscon. Discovered a really beautiful river close to Pag's place. This is the first Sun fish I have ever caught. I caught one more plus a Bass. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v719/troutbum/IMGP3372.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v719/troutbum/IMGP3380.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReflectedLight Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 (edited) I've given up or salt water fishing. Long Island is fished out, fluke is 18 inches so there are tons of throwbacks, and I feel like I'm just paying for the party boats gas every time. I'm not sure what the price is for a 1/2 day or full day because I haven't gone fishing in 2 years, but I'm sure today it's at least $65 bucks. The only thing I came home with was a $5 off coupon in case I come back. Not fun. I'd rather fish off a pier or drop a crab cage for free.

Rhiannon_of_Rivendell Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 ONE of these days I'm going to get my hands on a fly rod... And I won't be letting go! Just beyond our pasture there's a man-made pond that's perfectly set up for fly fishing. Wide lawn all along one side of it with no overhanging limbs. I just KNOW it's someone's fly pond. The house up above it is almost never occupied, so I have yet to meet the owners. I'm still working on tying flies; but things have been to swamped for my Uncle & I to get together to do any fishing. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v394/Rhiannon_of_Rivendell/smileys/sad-smiley-068.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LakesideMaiden Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 Okay - I just realized that all the pics that I have are in RAW format, which the version of Photoshop on this computer doesn't support. So this is the only pics that I have just yet - from one day of fishing for Der Trom: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v407/lakesidemaiden/Misc/Daves-Good-Day.jpg 2 nice size largemouth bass and one really nice size smallmouth bass More to come when I have a few moments to go down to my pc and edit the others that we've caught this season - all bass save for the 2 beginning of season trout we caught.

Der Trommler Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 QUOTE (BL2112 @ Jun 6 2008, 10:24 PM) I have a crazy one. it's about 2 fools, 3 long distant phone calls, and 2 huge bass and a call to mom. This was about 5 months ago. My and my brother started to go fishing with out our uncle. Who was our fishing guy, he taught us everything and he took us. So we went, going for little blue gill crapies. Will my brother catches one. And, his pole bent totally super hooked. It all most was jerked from his hands. I grab the pole and pull the fish in. it was a 9-13 lb. bass in a manmade surburban lake. I pulled it to the shore and it fought back out. and went down the shore. And then there where 2 big bass like that. going after the panfish. The panfish was killed and stuck on the sifle. We call our uncle and his cell phone. Hes in NY hoping to have him guide us to what to do. We get his voice mail. tired like 5 more times. Then mom. She comes can't believe how big. Take it out of the water. And put it on the ground. Two kids come running by and go WOW!!! THATS HUGE! and they helped us get it off the hook. My brother has caught bass like that about 20 times. ranging between 7 and 12 pounds. I caught talipa in the lake, 7 pounds. I've had days where I've caught a ton of bass but none were over 2 pounds. This summer, though, has been a little different. We been snagging bigger ones off a little area that I thought was pretty decent to hit last year but never did. That's a nice story. I've heard of guys catching a smaller fish only to have a larger one get hooked. I wish I could catch a 7 pounder! Sounds like a great moment!!!

We don't have any up here so my knowledge of them is quite limited I didn't know that....I found that out reading about bass sometimes ago. The sunfish family is large....Bass, themselves, are quite a large family as well. Largemouth, smallmouth, rock, spotted, etc.... Personally, up until this year, I never caught any other bass except largemouth. I didn't even know I caught the little smallie until RoR had told LSM that what was caught. She gave us a nice little lesson on how to tell the difference..... The trout you caught are sweet!! I caught a trout (was the first fish I caught) on a Rooster Tail (bass size). He came from under the docks & slammed the lure! I'd guess it was about pound & a half. We're hoping to get some fly fishing stuff too. We saw that Walmart had a sale on cheap fly fishing rods. They were being sold for $15 a piece but we didn't have the $$$ at the time. Anyway, we're hoping we'll get those next year & try a nice pond that is stocked with them....
