ChiefsPlanet - Other Sports The Fishing Thread

It really is. It works especially great for me because I can use it in my kayak like any regular fish finder or I can cast it from the bank. I just got an arm band for my phone so it's right there for me to see.

I lean toward number 1. Wild fish (or fish that are holdovers from previous seasons) are never that fat. They just don't look like that. THIS is what a fish that has been in a river a while looks like:

See how strong and lean it is, and see how the fins are nice and crisp? That's in stark contrast to a hatchery trout, which may turn into fat abominations from learning to gorge on pellets at the hatchery.

By the way...that's not me. That was just a picture I found that illustrated my point.

I have been multiple places and read around dome sites and they seem to be spread out and in pre spawn locations. This should be the first consistently warm week so they should start pushing shallower very soon.

No one would believe me if I told them I went fishing and didn't catch anything..

I did an overnight on Lake Wilson and it was slow as ****. Not one freaking bite all night, but I persevered and ended up with something

Spoiler!

Am still on two 1/2 hours sleep. It got kinda freaking cold last night.

It's always embarrassing to get skunked. Way to avoid the 0-fer!

Hoping to make it up to Watkins Mill on Saturday morning before my tee time. Can't imagine a much better day than slaying a few Largemouth in the morning and then spending the rest of the day drinking and golfing.

7 ft catfish rod with an open face reel and 30lb braded line and some shad sides.

Only bite i got all day.

I'm guessing he was around 25-30lbs, but with fish stories you always go on the heavy side! I wish i could have gotten a better photo, but there wasn't anybody anywhere close to me.

I picked him up by his jaw and held him about shoulder level and his tail fin went down to my knees. I'm 6'3

Last weekend I hammered crappie at Redmond. Literally every cast was a catch and Redmond produces big fish. It got to the point it was boring since they were in like 2 feet of water biting almost instantly. Between mt dad and I we could have kept 100 12 inch crappie and 30 15 inch crappie and that is not an exageration. We ended up keeping about 30 between us. Here is one of the larger ones. And these things are wide with big backs. Basically got strip steaks off them.
