A.Do?

Nice Job again Jason! Getting closer and closer to that 4lb mark. 7lbs by the end of the season? How was the rest of your fishing that weekend? Simon and I got blown around like kites when we tried to kayak at Royal.

I've always been skunked at burke, so i'm thinking i'll have to give night fishing a try.

Simon and I are hittin up Lake Royal saturday. We'll be there early. we're going to try and attack the lake with kayaks and see if we can produce. Paul, get out there and catch a bass!!! No bluegill fishing for us this week! G'luck to everyone! Andrew

Nice Fish! What's a 15' trout even look like?

Lets go to Happy hour! Maybe the pressure of gettin that biggun is gettin to everyone! Or maybe mixing alcohol into this is a bad idea. in any case, can't we all just fish along!? xXxOoXoOxXo

Nice! Those fish look nice and fat, must have put up a good fight. I'm hoping to find some time soon to make it down there for the first time.

NICE FISH! I'll post up pix as soon as i can. You guys definitely missed a few fish! I moved down to where you guys were fishing at the other end of th d**n and caught 3 in less than 10 minutes! I bet a kayak would produce really well on Royal. Lets definitely get together again when it's warmer

Ok, here goes! Pretty slow day for most of us. I was able to catch just 5 fish in total. 2 dinks, 1 keeper, one 2lb. 4oz'er, and a perch. One dink caught on a countdown rapala, the others were all off my megabass griffin. Rob, can you send me the pix again? Real nice meeting Dan and seeing everyone else, Paul, Ron and Jason, again.

how long does the shad run usually last? I was just checking out the Shad cam on the DGIF website and saw a few. I would really like to get in on the action before it's all over!

I was hoping to see more people attend as well. As long as I'm fishing I don't really have any reason to complain! Whats good (lure-wise) for rainy weather?

Nice fish Ron! Looks like it's going to be a good season!

Thanks Slomoe! It's a megabass SR-X, got it as a gift from a friend. Hopefully it'll be a gift that keeps on giving.

Decided to try a pond that Simon and I have been fishing and turn out pretty good! It was slow at first. Threw out a rat'l trap and tried some shakey head action but got nothing. Decided to walk the shore line and threw on a different crank bait. I saw a bunch of bream schooling near the shore so i fanned this one area and found the bass! They weren't big but I'd take them over being skunked any day. My good scale was out of batteries while my alternate one was acting funky so no numbers. Here are some pix (sorry about size). Hopefully tomorrow will be even better!

i'll bring my camera if my GF doesn't steal it from me the night before and goes out of town (which she might)

I'm in definitely.

Rob, get used to it buddy! I got some confidence back! Still can't make it out this weekend?

I'm so happy over getting over this slump. It's making me really looking forward to this weekend. IT WAS ROUGH on mercer, the water was all churned up from the rain, the wind was blowing hard, I was feeling like i really was a jinx and that no one could catch a fish if i was around. I tried rat'l traps, different cranks, spinners, and shakey heads but nothing produced even a bite. When we moved on and i was able to land one fish and almost land another (threw the hook as i was reaching for him). Today, Simon and I went fishing in woodbridge and we caught some trout. I caught my first and new PB rainbow trout (1lb 2oz)!! Can't wait for this weekend guys!

we can always lake hop since they're so close to each other.

Andrew- in, thats 2!

Ditto on Trev's question, i know we're debating the location, what about the date? Saturday or sunday should be fine for me but i'd like to know so i don't make plans.

If you hook a fish, can I reel her in? ;D jk

I don't mind where we go....i'm in desperate need of a catch though! MAJOR DRY SPELLL!!!! I forgot what a bite feels like. :'(

put me down as a maybe, Simon, i have a trolling motor/battery you can use.

hrmm, no go for this date change. going snowboarding so don't think i'd have the energy to do both.

!!!! Very tempted. I'm workin during the day so we'll see how tired i am. But umm, i don't get it. where are you fishing? haha
