You gotta do what you gotta do. Otherwise we would've ended up in daggum Loudoun and everybody would've been mad at us.

Caught my first fishes of 2020! Catch and release trout season is open here in Wisconsin!

 

Took my Gf crappie fishing on my tandem kayak. She made me proud.... even let me take a selfie or two  Chartreuse/white under-spin paired with a 2” Gulp Alive! minnow (Emerald Shiner)

 

 

 

 

@Dorado, those are some monsters 

Well @A-Jay this bait is awesome, highly recommend. Cast great, got down a few feet easily, vibrated at slow speeds, and actually was a very slow floater.

Unfortunately the fishing today was not awesome and other than this guy absolutely unloading on it, no other fish were harmed.

LOL ~ Nice One !

Thank You very much for this most prompt & results based review.

But if I was going to get any sleep at all, there would need to be an order placed. 

Fortunately, I've had Mr. Sobczak on speed dial since 2007.

So that happened.

Additionally, a modest assortment of these baits will be clearing customs in Mexico in 257 days.

Thanks again

A disappointing mirror carp, and giant white bass were my only two "other" fish yesterday.

A couple of fish from the last month, that trout is my new pb at 22 inches out of a south east mn trout stream. Haven’t got any big pike lately but hoping to get at least one before the end of the month

That musky and these pike are from November, musky was 40.5 and this northern was 44.5, just off the state record catch and release northern. These toothy critters are my true passion in fishing, bass are a close second 

One more, this one was 41” even, there is nothing like catching big essox, I’m blessed to live in a place where I can target them

You are a committed man.

It was sunny and almost 70 degrees so I had to go for about 40 minutes after work . Current was ripping well over 40k cfs 

I decided to fish off the dock this evening. Cool, crisp temps.

Caught 15-20 bream including this nice shellcracker and a catfish. Also caught a 3 pound bass on a small bream but didn’t get its picture.

Too cold to launch the boat, Got 4 bluegill and two shellcracker in a polluted urban creek 

Before leaving Port Canaveral on a Disney cruise, I was able to sneak away with Capt Jamie Glasner @ Fin and Fly Charters to chase the REALLY ugly, yet REALLY fun black drum.  Or "mud donkey", as Capt Jamie called them.  I managed to boat 6-7 of these big uglies before the wind got to be too much.

I wish I could market fishing for freshwater drum the same as saltwater guides do, I could quit my day job and guide for drum full time.

Caught around 15 more bream before dark.

Didn’t get the boat launched until 6 but caught some food 

That reminds me to get ready for our fish fry this weekend!!

 Jerkbait bite is on. Soon the bass will start crushing a chatterbait, which is one of my favorite bites of the year.

Had a pretty good mixed bag this weekend, including a couple crappie, some trout, a drum, a wiper, and a channel cat. Only took pictures of a couple of them. Channel hammered a jerkbait on the pause in a pond under a willow tree and really had my hopes up for a few seconds. Wiper swallowed a little cleo I was tossing for trout.

Nice lines. Lol

Let this one be my official PB. First crappie on this Majorcraft speedstyle S63UL and a PB to start with. Also a new UL reel in the family.

Surprised how early the catfish are active. Water temp of 43
