Aw crick your the best!!!  🙂🙂🙂

 

Happy 4th!!!

Got out yesterday morning( tues.) For about 6 hours. Caught 7, I each on a spinnerbait and a frog and 5 on a buzzbit with 2 decent buzzbait fish weighing 3-3 and 3-13.

I spent the better part of the afternoon solo fishing a small pond in NC that @FishTaxand @Pat Brownintroduced me to. I caught three nice bass, the largest at 18.5" and the smallest at 17. Two on a single Colorado bladed spinner. The third fish absolutely CHOKED on the crankbait. 

 

 

 

 

 

I finished out the afternoon fishing with Pat Brown and his family. It was a great time, but I didn't catch anything. Right as we got back to the dock the heavens opened up, and I spent a soggy drive back to where I'm staying. 😆

👏👏

I’m coming to join the party! Sorry it took me a while! 

ICD, well done! Give Pat a fist bump from Ol' Crick. 

 

 

Got out early this morning for a few hours before I have to man the till at my wife’s yard sale.  
 

Went to the gun club for the first time in long time.  I had been avoiding it as it usually gets beat to death once the weather gets nice.  
 

Managed 4 with mayor.

 

1st fish caught near the floating dock.

Next two were along this bank.

Last and biggest fish was caught by an isolated clump of weeds kinda hard to see in the picture but it’s about where the trees’  reflections are in the water.

A couple days makes a big difference.  I caught 17 Bass Thursday.  Today I managed one 13 1/2 inch Spotted Bass a couple small Catfish and a Yellow Perch.   

 

 

Got some smallies this morning on a sassy shad . Also lost the white whale, a gar we’ve been chasing for years that is very pale and approaching 50” . It hit a dead bluegill on top. Got some video but it makes me sad hahaha. Also lost a nice LM that ate the dead bluegill and just spit it out 
 

 

 

While I wait for Pat Brown to post a report, l would like to put it on record that Pat does not mess around when he has a frog fish on the line. Imagine a 6+lb fish being practically water skiied across the surface like it is a 2lber and you have an idea of what I witnessed 😳

Can confirm! 😂

Not sure what this guy is. Any ideas? I caught it in a local creek.  Looks like a darter fish but I've never caught one or seen one out of the water. Whatever it is, I'm pretty sure I was not supposed to catch it.

Logperch , which is a species of “darter” I believe 

 

excellent SMB bait (excluding Minnesota and California of course)

It's a common logperch - part of the darter group.

Thank ya. There’s a bit of a story behind them but I went into the store looking for the most obnoxious pair of shades I could find. Think I did a good job 👍🏻
