I went fishing this afternoon, using a little, short pole and was having a really good time until my wife let the water out of the tub.
click on "settings" at the top right of the page and it takes you to your profile information where there is an upload window for the profile picture. It's first thing in the list.
10 footers are OK for boats or walking little creeks, but I like a 14, or even a 16 for reaching out from a bank, over thick grass, shrubs, or lilypads. The longer pole gives you the line to reach deeper too.
Cane poles, or their imitations in glas…
For people who like fishing the long poles. New, old or whatever, if its long and doesn't have a reel, this is the place to chat.

Blue gills, red belllies and yellow bellies are some of the best eating fish from the water. Let those high-falutin', high-dollar-boat, big-engined, water thrashers go after the bass, just leave me tied to a tree limb in a little boat with a cane po…
I don't know a thing about fly rods, but I've heard that graphite is a lot more dangerous around lightening than glass, whether a fishing rod or golf club.

That;s right! Manage them right into the skillet. A 3" or 4" bream will scale real easily. Heading and gutting is no job at all. When rolled in cornmeal and fried in bacon fat, they are delicious.
Management of a crowded pond is usually to leave th…
Mustad's Aberdeen has been one of my favorite hooks as well. Over the years, I've found it to be appropriate for many species of small fish and I have landed some large ones as well. Mustad makes two Aberdeen, straight shank, hooks. One has a hollow…
Profile Information
- Largest bluegill ever caught?
- It was a biggun! I never thought of weighing one.
- Favorite place to catch bluegill?
- It used to be the S. Florida Drainage ditches and Lake Okeechobee, then I fell in love with Rodman Pool. My kids convinced me that the most fun was in these little 3' creeks that run all over the swamp. All you need is a 10' cane pole, some mosquito repellant and a couple or three kids.
- Do you have a pond? If so, describe it.
- I have an itsy bitsy one that I dug years ago. It's in the middle of a wet-weather creek and serves mostly as a nursery for Thomas Creek on the back of the property.

Sincerely,

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?
