Ill be a regular contributor here. My first pic. A sucker caught with a Quantum 1310 and 7.5 foot Kunan rod.The combo is not pretty but has reeled in hundreds of pounds of hard pulling fish. Will cast a one ounce weight forever.

Ohhh, the gauntlet has been thrown down. It will be a couple of weeks but I will be back!

edited: I forgot that I had gone trout fishing with my son and a friend and his boys back in January. We had to hike awhile to find water that was not iced over but we still had an okay day.

That's me and my son on the right.

It sure looks like a good day:thumbup:


Dipbait, I know you will be posting alot of pics:thumbup:

 

[udtjim]

We are probably a month away from open water yet.

 

[dipbait]

My second outing once again had me catching suckers. This a Redhorse.

 

[tonym]

Dipbait, get back out there and get me a big ole catfish!:thumbup:

I know we have more fisherman here, where ya at??

Mods, how about a sticky

 

[Guyon]

Here's how I've been doing most of my fishing lately. Just catching small bass, bream, and cats mostly. A few freshwater drum too.

 

[milani74]

I posted these last week. I wish I could go out this week end!

Caught these the day before so the two days netted a few pounds of fish

 

[SouthernCross]

Mods, how about a sticky

I agree. This should be made a sticky, especially as we'll all have the rest of this year to continue to contribute to it.

Here's a few of mine from this year to date:

Fresh water:

Some from a week on the coast:

Fly fishing for Carp

Kind regards

Milani, Nce haul there bro! Those are hybrids right, Whipers??

Mick, about time you showed up! I always look forward to your pics!

 

[milani74]

Thanks Tony. Striped Sea bass that migrate in fresh water twice a year like Salmon. Great tasting too!
I caught a few small mouthers a few weeks ago that were about 18 inches. Wish I had taken a pic. They were nice. Man I want to go out this week end.

Stripers are great eating and a joy to catch!

Looks like some of those are hybids though.

Other than a Striper being more streamlined, you can also tell by the actual stripes. The stripes are more fluent in a Striped bass, shile more dotted and patchy in a Hybrid. The hybrids are a cross between Striped bass and White bass, often called Sunshine bass or Wipers!

Either way, I bet they were a hell of alot of fun to catch:thumbup:

 

[Ebbtide]

Not a big one, but the first of the year.
Good fun on LMB tackle too.

I'll be posting here quite a bit. Are bowfishing pictures fair game as well?

 

[milani74]

Yep. That looks spot on. I am kinda new to the area and thats what I get for taking the word of the "locals". They are a ton of fun to catch. I really want to go to Guntersville and catch some LM Bass. Lots of tourney's seem to occur there so maybe even I can catch one!

Some snails from this past weekend.

We arent allowed to fish with rod and reel yet, but we are allowed to spear. The fish is a cabazon. They have blue meat and are great eating
