You have to throw ned rigs to catch smallies……….. false

Wood is an excellent building material, we came across the Atlantic floating on it

You don’t! I forgot to type that part. Although the rule ive always heard is don’t eat them in a month that doesn’t contain an “r” so September may be fair game. I want to say the season is already open in many parts of the country I can eat squirrel but I’d rather have something more filling regardless of season

They do that to me almost every time I go to a boat ramp (which is a lot). then when they go to park, they see me standing there waiting and apologize haha. I think they are too excited to wait

I’m still waiting on a smallmouth to smash my spinnerbait ive tried those techniques you describe, sometimes for days on end, they have just never worked. They like my Jerkbaits much better when they are just barely twitching along.

Negative.

I don’t think I’ve ever caught a fish working a lure fast and aggressive that wasn’t a herring or white bass

Nice shot! Takes me forever to Skin them too, not worth the time for the meat unless you give it to someone who knows what they are doing (not me). Some Guys were recently caught with 471 squirrels in Missouri and they were charred, I’m assuming to remove the hair. I cleaned like 35 bullfrogs when I was your age over a few weeks and put them in the freezer. Mom found them, and I got in trouble and lost all my meat haha

A few pics from this week. @Smells like fish, squirrel season has arrived and some squirrel holes are hard to reach and what would a Tuesday be without a whistle pig

Have mercy what a useless rabbit hole. I don’t see how or why it matters

Holy moly!!!! Congrats

And according to your photos, targeting specific niches on Estes flats puts tasty fish on the grill

This year? Just getting started. December is always best

Thought this joker was 7 lbs when it first jumped, fought like the devil

I been fishing the better part of 37 years and never needed them. Granted I keep a big heavy tool box in the boat full of all kind of tools. The only time ive used something similar was to cut big hooks in half and make trolling motor shear pins out of them. I could have just been them with needle nose if need be

They continually stock new fLorida strain in the new places (Tx, Tn, etc) so they will interbreed and create new F1 generation year after year. I’m guessing CA no longer wants to stock non native fish.

texas fish are all massive mutants!!!

Smallies eat stocker trout in East TN, very close to your home state of VA why did CA stop stocking the trout? Everyone was having too much fun??

fished under these birds last night. Instead of harassing them I caught white bass yellow bass skipjack smallmouth and walleye near them.

Pumpkin spice latte haha

My buddy took me fishing from about 6 pm til 11 pm and we got some poor man’s lobster! Also got white bass yellow bass striped bass smallmouth bass skipjack herring and of course a drum

Hey-oh!!!!
