We fed a Heron once also.It was pretty cool,h was on a cement tower at a local lake.When we'd hook a fish that would get his attention and he'd come over and gobble the fish up that we threw to him.They are awesome birds.
Pretty fish those Pumpkinseed
The itty bitty trout in-line spinners work well behind a casting bubble/torpedo float.
They work great. I personally have caught many blue gill on them before.
I was drawn to Joe's Flies by my interest for fishing trout in the North Carolina mountains. They were small but I could still cast them well enough on my 5' spinning gear set up (it was really a crappie rod). They are nice for a number of reasons,…
Dave,
I have used some of Joe's Flies. I picked them up for cheap money at Wal-Mart. I have an oragne, chartreuse and a "Joe's Favorite" stlye. They work well with ultra light spinning gear and a pinch-on weight attached to the shank of a snaplock.…
While ice fishing a couple years ago, I watched a great blue clean up the minnows that some guys dumped on the ice as they left. Seemed that this bird had done that before. A few minutes later, it approached me to within 30 feet. I had just pulled o…
Man 0 man!.....I can feel that 6" long beak smackin me in the head like a pile driver....Lol!....Lucky he didn't get it in the eye for sure!....bet he 's got a dent in his forehead!......I get the shivers just thinkin about it!.......I paddled up t…
I once wached a heron eat a chipmunk. It was a fast fight for a few minutes
My other Heron encounter was years ago. A freind and I were in a duck blind that was just room enough for the two of us. As we were waiting for ducks to pass this large her…
That story is so cool, it has to be true! I'm glad you didn't attempt mouth to beak. I did once, on the family pet dog. He ran about a hundred miles an hour into the sliding glass door. No pulse, no respirations and my little girls were crying "dadd…
I don't see how throwing back the smaller fish is disrespectful. Don't they grow up to be bigger fish? I would be more worried about the guys that keep every single fish that they catch, or any size, instead of taking only what they need. I know peo…

Hi,
Don't know if this will help much but I'll tell you what I use for finicky shellcrackers here in Alabama.
My Ultralite pole has 10lb. powerpro moss green line.(it has the same diameter as 2lb. test.
I had the same problems with fireline and gave…
"The only thing better than a live cricket is... a dead one... the only thing better than a dead one ... is a 'Fake' one..."
Wish I'd a said that, except I ain't too sure about the fake one. I've had one for years in my tackle box. Never ran out of…
I use power pro specifically for spinning reels. It does a fantustic job. I even put it on my bait casters for a test and when I hit a my motor by accident and flipped a HUGE Bird nest I had it picked with in 2 min being very gentle. It works great…
I think so... if i'm wrong tell me.
Great fish! Take more pictures of these if you catch them. Redbreast sunfish, right?
Fabulous white crappie!

I will be the man if i have some more pics like this one, tomorrow morning. I'd count on it
I currently fish with 2 - 4lb Hi Vis Gold Stren (old eyes) ... tied to a 6 ft length of 2lb Maxima or 2lb Vanish Fluorocarbon leader. I fish with very small jigs 1/100th - 1/64th of an ounce... these jigs are normally tipped with a cricket, mealwo…

Greg,
