check out Ebay. For collarless jigs. I order jigs anywhere down to 1/100th ounce
great thought! Lets write berkley and ask them to downsize the nymph...seriously. I think it would be way more effective for gills at a smaller size.
to this I can only say one thing....
I live in Sterling Heights MI...Take me with you next year!!!
lol good luck out there =)
check out tinboats.net
they will give you tons of ideas on how to turn that boat into a real gem!
congrats Bruce!
Something tells me membership will be increasing like crazy soon =)
ebay =) its a wonderful thing. I use collarless jigs exclusively
Im not really a fan of spinners of any kind..never really had much luck with spinnerbaits for bass or pike, in-line spinners for anything, beetle spins etc.
Id much rather use a soft plastic that makes a vibration in the water.
I tried swivels befo…
I dont think I will be using the WD40. However i wont be switching to mono again any time soon. I also troll with jigs in my kayak and doing so with mono can add up to a headache of line twist very quickly. I need a line that is thin for casting, ha…
wow good idea, never heard of this. Have you seen any decrease in catch rate due to the smell of the wd40?
yes its a braid...but its a bit different too. Check out the berkley website for info
after years of line twist with no REAL lasting solution I headed the advice from a local fishing forum and switched to crystal fireline.
Once the stuff is fished with for a while it is WONDERFUL.
I have noticed a huge difference in casting distance…
absolutely one of my "go to" baits.
maybee not so much for bluegill but I have yet to find a more effective multispecies plastic.
I use these in just about every presentation but really love them slow trolled behind my kayak following a weed line.…
wow. lots of them. what type of lour and bait do you use?
do they fight as good as they taste?
that is a magazine worthy photo! well done!
wow any of those top ones would be considered trophies around here!
nice catch!

Ditto, but they shut up after going with or eating the results.
Aw shucks there I go making a fool out of myself on line again. Sorry about the whole rooked thing, I saw that was on a different post of one of your pics Zach. I'm a little paranoid about Google, so thats where that came from. I've gotta work on my…
thats a big ole chinqupin
My stomach usually doesn't give the scales enough time to join in on the action though.
They are a very different fish I'll say that. The best I have figured so far is that they like the bottom and live bait, not to say that they wont strike an artificial, it takes some real skill though from what I can gather and I really admire those…
I was kind of worried about that, but I have seen some variations of Hybrids look this way, or at least that is what was posted on the internet.
We always called these black pearch.
To be honest I do not think the Green Sunfish have the yellow bel…
I am still trying to figure out how to fish for Redear. I have not had much luck with them. The seem to be pretty smart.
Do you have tricks you would like to share on catching these guys?
Did you happen to get the weight of any of these fish?
They fight just like a big bluegill. I am told you can eat them but haven't tried yet. The ones we caught today went to a friend who has a pet shop. I wouldn't mind trying them though. They are local to south Texas and I would imagine that they eat…
Oops sorry Zach I forgot about need a trout stamp on your license.
Bank access has improved since they began stocking trout back in the late 90's. As of now State regs require a trout license to fish it during the season ($10). If you plan to launch a boat you will need a permit. Not sure about other options as far…
About the only time you can fish Pawhuska from the bank is when they drop the lake for trout season. There is no cost to fish it.
I know, I will have to try it out this fall when the temps drop a bit. Can you fish it from the bank at all, and is there a cost to fish it?
Oh brother, Zach living in Northeast Oklahoma and having not fished this lake before......Let me tell you.
A spring fed 90 Acres of Heaven.
The wildlife department comes in and stocks trout every other week from November until the end of March (bl…
Cedric you are truly gifted to be capable of putting things like this into the words they way that you do. I've been reading your posts, you have just gained a huge fan. Cant wait to hear more from you!
I have yet to fish lake Pawhuska, is it a nice lake? Did they stock everything in it?
So how do they fight and can you eat them?
almost has a knot head
