I catch fish like @Team9nine, only smaller

Lol. There's a bunch of us in that club. 😂

When is our next club meeting ? 😂 There better be fried crappie 

Crappie is preferred, but white bass will be acceptable. 🤣

You'll have to bring 'em. I use most of the crappie I catch for muskie bait. 😂

You keep that up, Tim, and I'm going to start using muskies I'll catch for mako shark bait!

Oh, I will. 

 

These...

Eat these...

Like they're tater chips. 😉

 

So many big bass have been landed and posted this spring that I'm a bit breathless, anticipating the next beshemoth to be posted here.   

Finally caught something worth showing. My first spot of the year and while she may not be the biggest, she sho is healthy!

 

Just right for Tim's Muskie Bait!

So fat!

Yep!  She's either full of eggs, or full of Shad, or maybe like the angler....full of something!

Crappie Hole again this morning.  Trying to get in before the next front hits.  Fished for about an hour alternating between a double Colorado and a football jig.  No takers. Figured what the heck and switched to a black/blue Mini Max even though I’m not a fan of fishing them in this lake because it’s full of snags.  
 

Caught three in three casts.  Two decent ones with a dink sandwiched in between.

 

 

Moved down the bank some and caught my biggest of the day. 5.09#.

Had to beat a hasty retreat after that with the storm rolling in.

A five-pounder from the shore! Plus three in three casts. That's catching, not fishing.

Hopefully I can start catching them from the canoe soon.  Haven’t been able to take it out much since I got it.  Winds here have been brutal.

  Caught 24 yesterday on a 9 acre private pond with an 85 year backseat boater. First cast from the bank produced a Rat fish. I tied on my Pink Trick Shad because my buddy was catching them on pink Trickworms and it worked. It was a good trip, he caught the biggest at 4.05 lbs .

 

A - Jay and Swamp Girl, I worked my Traps, Rear delts, Lats, and a bit of biceps while paddling us around.😆

Good. I'm glad you're not launching. High winds, cold water, and a new canoe are a terrible threesome. Anyway, you don't need it now. Did I tell ya the story about you catching a five-pounder and three bass in three casts?

 

@GreenPig: We are now forever bound by the paddle, my brother.

Even though a digital camera doesn’t waste film, I didn’t waste the time to take pics of the two dinks and one superdink bass I caught today. I beat the skunk but that was about it. Two on a Zoom Trick and one on a Yum Dinger. 
 

Oh well! It’s only mid-March lol. 

Really slow start to the year but finally on the board with a 4lber. 4.25 if you count the trout she puked out.

 

 

@Fried Lemons: What are we seeing in your second photo?

Half digested stocker trout

SMB, carp, tons of white bass, 3-4 drum, and a channel cat or two. Fun afternoon inbetween storms 

@TnRiver46: HUGE white bass and big smallie.

The Bill Dance hat + the drum + the smile = I laughed 😂

The ice came off late thursday, and I got the canoe in for friday and saturday.  Ended up with 25ish bass, a really big and pregnant perch, and a few snagged shad over the 2 days, most came from a wind pounded shoreline.  The shallow, dark dirty water was probably a few degrees warmer and held a lot of 4" gizzard shad.  I had 3 over 4lbs by my estimation.  Caught them on a blade bait, underspin, jighead minnow, hair jig, Duel shad crank, and a TB DD crank.  This is probably the best I've ever done the day after ice out.

A FAT healthy fish that slammed the spinnerbait yesterday for me.  Missed a couple mega giants on the weightless fluke fished super erratic around spawning areas.  Missed 2 more on the spinnerbait.  They are definitely on the move!  Big things coming up shallow I reckon!
