cool! fishin has been pretty good, for winter anyhow, have to drill through 2 feet of ice to get my line to the gills, but I need the exercise anyhow I guess ;-)
Mike, I made a mistake using another member's name when I meant to use yours. I was trying to tell John Sheehan about putting 2 spikes on a teardrop which I noticed that we share in common. Anyway, just letting you know. How's fishing been over there in MN??
that pic of the sliced gill reminds me of one i cought. it got hooked right through up through the skull. (i think through the brain im not sure) but the top of its head got riped open about an inch and a halph long. felt bad for it. it was alive when i put it back in.
Michael! Did you get aphone call a couple of nights ago, someone dude asking for Max? I have been meaning to tell ya, but keep forgetting, that was me!!!LOL Should've called ya back! Those cell phone buttons are so damn small! LOL!!! Take care!
Hello Sir! Thanks for the comment. Last weekend was the only time I have been out in a month. School has me so tied up. I'm hoping that the drilling starts soon! We have to punch some hole this winter. I'm in "lake data" mode and have found some promising waters for some big boys! Talk to ya soon!
Big Mike! I think the 19th would be absolutely perfect! We will hammer out more details tomorrow night. Gotta hit the hay..Going fishing in the morning the Mr. Sikkila!
Thos may sound strange but, Im not a hunter! If I do go it is for grouse and rabbits. When everyone is hunting, I am fishing, I have just about any lake I want to myself up here! Lets plan on something mid to late Sept!
Thank you very much for that info, BC! My usual spot out there (and they only one I know, really) is Bethany Reservoir, up near the wind farms, a mile or 2 west of Clifton Court Forebay. It has loads of bluegill and I caught a 9" redear last time I…
Hey , I'm a flyroder and use crickets all the time , about the only time I use artificial flys is when I run out of crickets or I'm fishing for smallmouths. The only limitation is it's harder to fish deeper than your flyrod is long but it is possibl…
Will somebody get me some distilled water! I just licked my screen! Thats one awsume lookin fly! Like boggie man said it must be a labor of love because just like his other suggestion. I just use live crickets on a fly rod! HAHA! I wish I coulda see…
Ive got a tackle box full! I love the bitsy minnow. There awsume. I was fishing with my dad and he was casting a bitsy minow while I was draggin crickets. I was embarresed when he was over 20 gills ahead. I had to swallow my pride and ask to borrow…
Although I usually fish for bass, the most fun I've ever had fishing was when I found myself casting Strike King Bitsy Minnows and Rapala CD1's into a school of bull blue gills suspending under a creek bridge. The action was nonstop.
Since then, I'…
AWESOME question! Pop-up is the main bite early and I call that a "lift".
If you have proper gear- your float will (( lift )) slightly up in the water.
The reason I talk about sensitivity in a setup is that fish eject their food all day long. Somet…
Is that cricket PINK?????? Greg, the lengths you have gone to fashion a cricket for a flyrod. I must apologize. I should have told you you could use REAL crickets on a flyrod. # 10 hook, single "B" sinker, small float, rollcast. I've read Shooter's…
