Sharon, I do catch willow tree branches in the spring .I notice the Bluegill and Crappie relate in early spring to blowdowns that reach lake bottom. Nothing like willow tree branches on 4lb test!

You could cut some tree branches and throw them in the pond to catch. I get a lot of those, big ones too.

Weeds are starting to die off up here already! I din't have much luck this summer...stupid fish kept getting in the way! Maybe next summer...I make the cover!

You can buy artificial weeds at the fish station of Walmart. Made in China, complete with toxins, probably

Darn the "9" doesn't work on my keyboard,does the 20lbweed.com locked too? I was going to check with Tim Overbaugh about the possibilitys of replicas. They could also be used for ice fishing when most weeds are gone.

Tagging your Photos

I am in the process of tagging all my photos.Gonna be time consuming . I would like to be able to search a specific species of fish pictured on this great site and compare photos. I only have 4 photos up so far of Red Breasted Sunfish but would like to see others . I plan to complete this obsession!Hoping to ease the search of specific interests as they change from day to day, season to season.

Smallmouth and Largemouth ,can they hybridize?


Never heard of such a thing but this fish made me wonder. It is a largemouth as I see it but looks almost like the color of a bronzeback.It didnt fight like a smallie I'll tell you that. It's too green to be a smallie and doesnt have smallie verticle bars but where are the side markings and green/white/black colors of a 'normal' largemouth?

Yes John....it is the 1/8 oz RFS....most of the big gills are in 16-20 ft, and they are suckers for this spoon

OK John when using spinning tackle I use an ultralight st. croix, or on big rivers like the upper Potomac or Shenandoah I've use a medium action Ugly Stik with braided spider wire 10# test with mono leaders, Mepps spinners, Texas rigged worms and grubs. I also like to use anything that looks like a crayfish. Oh yeah, the Ugly Stik I use is 7'.

Yeah John, I've had good fishing on the Shenandoah usinig small popping bugs and Rainy's hopper pattern in sizes 8, 10 and 12. You can also use any small nymph patterns with rubber legs. Thanks for the invite.

I'm wondering now. If it could have been mixed up with some of my flathead minnows. I last stocked them back in late spring. Sharon to answer your question I released him back to fattin up and catch again. Don't know why my bass hadn't eaten him yet.
