Made it out yesterday for a few hours. Didn't get a damn fish again. I've been skunked 3 or 4 times in a row all while leaving about 20lbs of lead and 15 hooks that are about a buck a pop on the bottom of the river.

Trying to decide if i should head out and try to catch some crappie or channel, or watch the Cards game.

Could take it to the homeless shelter and toss it.

Any time it starts looking like I'm gonna get skunked, I bust out my junker pole and go after bluegill... those little dummies are always biting, and I get to go home having had at least a little bit of sporting action

gonna go this evening and see whats up after all the rain and hope the pond has settled down

Caught one hybrid in four hours of fishing today. Decided to try one last cove before leaving. I landed three Saugeye and two more hybrid stripers in 20 minutes.

Lost three lures in the process.

No one is catching nothing out here and I've talked to experiencd boaters. Also everyone left this morning but I'm still here.

I've caught bass when it was windy like this before but I don't know how much gumption I have to wade in the water and get knocked over by waves.

I think it's going be nice next few days but another cold front later this week​ and temps be in 60s and 70s. These cold fronts are really making this year rough start.

If I had a bow and arrows I could have shot some carp but they are stupid fish anyways and I got one with my hands.

Took my girls fishing today. Her first crappie.

The only thing more exciting than catching a fish, is watching a kid catch one... they're absolutely thrilled every single time

Awesome dunit

2nd shift work week for me this week

Made it out to the Wakarusa river for a few hours this morning. That place is thick with gar. Pulled 3 out on my ultra-lite with 8lb test, had another one almost spool my in the current before he spit my lure. Also hooked one crappie, lost another gar and snagged into a huge freaking buffalo (had a scale the size of a half dollar on my lure after he came off).

I figured 9 am on a Monday morning, there wouldn't be anybody out there.. don't these ****ing people have jobs? There was about 15 people fishing down there by the time i packed up.

Its not a record because it was caught on a trot line but still a 135 lb. flathead is huge.

Caught in Santee Cooper, SC near Jacks Creek Landing and was 67" long.

That is awesomeness!! I used to think that trot lines were cheating, until I gave it ago a few times and found out it can be a lot of work. So kudos to that guy for landing a whale of a fish. Impressive! Also you never know what your gonna get when pulling in a trot in the morning, that's why it's fun.

I used to think the same thing. but going through the whole process of catching bait, string up the trout line, baiting then running it changed my mind too. They're also dangerous as hell if you don't pay attention. That feeling you get while running one at 3:00 am and feel that heavy ass weight/tugging coming from the line and you can't see wth it is until you're right on top of it is great.

Probably nothing worth worrying about for most of you but our Bass Pro in Columbia had their tournament edition Micro Spinners on sale for .99 cents a piece. They're usually about $3.00.

So I bout 20 of them because why the hell not? Filled up the tackle box with 'em and now I won't have to use my shoddy ones that only like to spin about 1/3 of the time. I've always had pretty good luck with the Bass Pro ones.

Not sure if the KC one is doing it as well because I don't see it listed in the ad but if you're going to be near there anyway, it couldn't hurt to swing back and check.
