Because I can't think of a better thread, here's what I got to watch over lunch this afternoon...

We have a pair of bald eagles that have nested about a 1/2 mile away and they seem to have decided that my back yard is a hell of a fishing hole. On Sunday he came down right at the water's edge next to that little bush in the bottom left of the picture) and snagged a little bass. Today about 3 minutes after this picture he went up that right into that cove in the back, snagged another one and took off to the west with it (out of the right side of the frame).

I'm really hoping that they've recently set up shop and this will become a common occurrence. I've seen at least 1 of them the last 3 days and this afternoon both of them were zipping about. Pretty cool shit.

Edit: Ugh...file-size limits; I had to compress that to the point of not being all that interesting. I wonder if a photobucket or something would work better. He's damn sharp lookin'...

Went out this morning for a while. My buddy managed to pull a 40lb flathead out of the Kaw.

I was skunked.

Broke 6 lines and lost probably 4lbs of lead. This is growing increasingly frustrating and I'm starting to not have fun anymore. Snags and wasted time and money.

I have never gotten into catfishing because of how boring it can be. Just sitting around for hours has just never been appealing to me. I much prefer the hunt of fishing.

Fishing was awesome today. We landed around 25 hybrid stripers and whites in two hours between two of us.

We'd go to a spot and they'd start feeding. Couldn't cast fast enough. They started feeding in front of us twice and the third time we were cruising to a spot and saw them jumping everywhere. Spent 30 minutes reeling them in as fast as we could.

I'm sure channel cat will eat it. They'll eat anything.

Up before the sun this morning to try my spot again. Shit luck. I don't know what has changed, but i for the life of me cannot stay out of snags. I lost my last 4 8oz weights, got mad, gave my bait to my friend and went home.

I've probably left 20lbs of led on the bottom of the river this summer alone.

I'm so ****ing frustrated right now. Every time i snap a line it's $3 down the drain.

What kind of weights do you use? I tried the egg kind and find that it weekends the string and they snap the line so easy they suck. So i hate the egg ones.

Bank and no roll.

The no roll do you run the string through it more than once to make it not slide?
