Going to try some vertical jigging while we cruise the lake on the pontoon. The lake I live on is loaded with panfish so we have a healthy population of larger pike and bass.

Tried for catfish and crappie today. Caught 3 catfish, zero crappie and one of the biggest gar I have seen in the lake.

Where are you at?

East central Oklahoma. Little warm for the long sleeve shirt but like it better than sunscreen.

Off topic and late to the show but this reminded me of a guy in a bar one night that for no reason decided to punch the bar keep. The cops showed and it took 7 cops to take this guy down and get him in the car. His last words before they closed the door were Obviously you guys aren’t from Texas.

This made me laugh. Years ago my wife and I were in a place called the million dollar cowboy bar in Jackson Wyoming. It was early afternoon on a weekday. Was us and another couple in the place I later found out were farmers from Texas. We were having lunch when the bar tender got mouthy with this guy from Texas. That Texan flattened the bartender in an instant. Lucky his wife settled him down. Guy was a mountain of a human being. Wife and I got lunch AND a show

Very nice

We trolled from Claville Bay (Lake Mead) where we launched from and stopped in Fire Bowl Cove for breakfast where we fished anchovies from the shore, the pic above. A few small bites, but nothing big enough to catch.

Then went out in the middle of the cove and did some bait fishing with anchovies for a few. Then, started throwing some lures. I setup my umbrella rig with 3 silver white shad swimmers, a Grey one and one with a green tail. 4 casts and caught a small striper. Destroyed the gray one on the rig. Replaced it with a white sparkly one, and the green one with a silver/white.

After an hour or so doing this we started trolling with the canoe again. Caught a smallmouth on the way out of the bay. Trolled all the way east to Hamblin Bay. Baked the whole way in the sun. Got up to about 95.

Stopped for a break and it started to cloud over, with a breeze that was supposed to start about noon.

Trolled the whole way back. On the fish finder they had moved from 50 to 120 feet with an occasional one at 10-30, to 10-30 feet with occaisional one deep. Caught 4 more stripers 9-14 inches, on the way back.

Canoe.

Canoe on the truck.

Biggest of the 6.

National Hug a Fish Day

ugh , jealous . Im bored with trout and perch , I mean they are great sport but I think I would like to try and fish for a new species , one with different habits a new adversary if you like . Grass is greener I guess , I cant figure why we get so many Americans comming here to fish when all we got is trout and the odd salmon . The hydro lakes in Canterbury and the associated fish farms are turning out some huge trout .....like 20 + lbs so if catching one of the biggest trout in the world is your thing then here is the place to do it ......but it really is like fishing in a barrel.
Nice photo's guys

Well if you ever make it here to TN,doors open. I've had internet boat forum friends from three countries and many states.

Perch might be a boring fish to catch, but they are just so good to eat ! My family can't get enough of them. Here in the great lakes we have many species to fish for, most are excellent table fare but some are more for sport. I do a little sport fishing for fun, Mabry one day, I will land that big one, but in the mean time, I am busy enough trying to feed the family that I don't have time to play and my stomach growls to let me know we need more perch.....lol.....

Same here in Ohio, fished for catfish and perch, got my first boat at 13 and started serious perch fishing. The old guy at the fish cleaners took me under his wing and taught me how to fillet them. 75 years later and they are still number one on my list !!

 

[redneck joe]

Yep, bullhead cats for us along with the yellows. I think i have a couple pics I'll go check. Then to MO and it was crappie and bluegill (big one on the private lake we lived on) And I'm not quite 60 and yes it was my job to do all the cleaning grampa was my teacher. Found out at my 20 year high school reunion no one wanted to date me because I always smelled like fish.
