Who's ready to go fishing???

[HICKMAN]

Hope you do better than me. In my experience, new fishing electronics means little fishing and a lot of fiddling...

Still tweaking the transducer, but I know what you mean.

I was scrolling messing around with it

when JM decided to go ahead and catch fish

Going fishing today, but in my case it means driving down south to a specialty fish store and stocking my 75g aquarium... lol.

Good job JM! I'm jealous so I cut you out of the quote.

Maybe that side scanning stuff has improved? I had a much older model 'bird with the capability and all I could get was false fish readings from everything but fish.

 

[HICKMAN]

side and down imaging is more for finding structure, but I've seen screenshots where you can really make out the fish

Looks like I need to update my fishfinder. That looks much better than mine.

Headed to MI this weekend to do some Walleye fishing on the Detroit River. I've never been there. My dad called and said his brother backed out and asked if I wanted to go.

Like I was going to say no...

Water levels are really high at the st joe river. flooding in some areas.

 

[DarkRose]

Levels were high in Columbus last night, and freeze warning next two nights...

Caught these two babies the other day in the rain. Still pretty slow at my usual place.

My son is for sure we will try some private Ponds today.

 

[rkesar]

I caught these in a private pond in Jennings county last Friday, The pond is overpopulated pretty bad with bass, crappie and bluegill. The guy that owns it told me to keep everything I catch and not to throw anything back.

I think on May 18th (next "free fishing" day), my fiance, her father and myself are going to go fishing someplace. There is a new park that supposedly has great fishing in town.

just got all 13 poles out today for first time this year to get em ready for this year

they were begging me to take em to the lake

River was too muddy for anything. Capt said sat they only caught 3 all day. Needless to say dad wasn't interested in driving 4 hours for no fish. We are rescheduling.

On the bright side, the boat is almost ready to do some salmon fishing in Manistee/Ludington.

 

[DarkRose]

Heard that the week before last, crappie were hitting HARD on Kentucky Lake... Got a coworker who goes down the first full week of April every year, said nothing Saturday, a few Sunday, and Monday it was all hands on deck! And stayed that way the rest of the week.

 

[danielson]

waters too muddy everywhere.

Thats good though, maybe we wont have another effing drought.

Hopefully, the rain in the spring and the drought really put a damper on my fishing, I got a few days in with my dad last April, then one more time late April after his funeral, caught my biggest bass yet that day... Really made me wish pops was there so I could show him proof I was a better fisherman than he was
