    What did 2022 Learn You

    I learned I need to fish more. The board thing consumed most of my energy and non-working time. I also learned sometimes a kid just wants to cast on his own even if he’s not catching fish. And sometimes casting on his own in shallows or wherever it flies to he might outfish you catching an 8.5...

    Blue cats are here

    Guess it depends on forage and if they get clubbed by a few hungry line tossers. Those in my pics are in a prime spot where local waters produce the records. Buggs Island aka Kerr lake and James river. Lots of forage and they eat a lot. I’m not so sure stocking is a good thing honestly. If...

    Today

    If you ever get frustrated, remember this. Last year while A-5 was patiently responding to my rapid fire novel texts doing all but hook a steelhead for me over a few days he mentioned jigs. So I ran by a local store and bought some. Steelhead crusher, electric fuschia, all kinds of ridiculous...

    Today

    I idk, if targeting bass and toothies I’d throw a shiner or lip hook small bullfrogs a little earlier in the year when they are about. If not in PA I’d throw crawdads. Been know to use live eels and a few other creepy crawlies. Big black crickets the bass murder but I’ve not seen those around...

    Back on the board

    Took my 72 yo neighbor out this afternoon. The fishing machine is sadly slowing down and I hate it. I carried the PAA/Z special spinning rod to give him room with his Orvis. I knew the team had stocked Saturday. I also knew we had to run hatchery stock down to repair then suffered die off to...

    Pin Bones

    What I do even with trout if I see them. I tried pliers but mushes meat. A-5 can attest to my collection of underused tools. Suffice to say I’ve tried a dozen or so small unique pliers and all mush meat messily.

    Happy Halloween!!

    Never happen, she won’t even harass her brothers when I’m around. My wife told me she was acting up a little. I didn’t buy it. I flew in early one trip and heard the impossible. Her arguing with her mom! She came around corner arguing, looked up and saw me, quickly changed from shock to innocent...

    Happy Halloween!!

    I curse you both!!!!! Also, any boy that’s a friend has to come past my office that’s slowly filling with gator heads, past her murderous uncle’s doorway, and we live near a notoriously dangerous place. They can be thrown ahem,,, slip to their demise. We all know boys aren’t very smart and...

    Trout season 2022

    I unspool all but mostly cause I can’t settle on anything ever in my life and some new line must be all it claims, land 40 lbers on diameter of 1lb, never break a line, invisible to all, floats and sinks on command, Not a real engineer but guess it makes sense I lead a team of them. If it ain’t...

    Now he’s just rubbing it in

    Came home from store after sitting out a few hours. Fighting a cold still and trying not to cough. Hour before dark a SxS and a 2 stroke quad showed and hung out 100 yards away BSing. So anyway, come in from Store and the big 8 I missed at 18 yards weeks ago walks literally right past me...

    [Archived] What did you Catch Today?

    About like spring trout. Skip the stocking spots and think upriver where river spawns run and stockies false spawn. Lake/Reservoir tribs produce in this area as well. Even Striper go into the creeks in some spots.

    [Archived] What did you Catch Today?

    Had hoped to tag out but I’m missing more than hitting. Filled a doe tag tonight and a bear last Thursday. Still two tags to go. If I hadn’t missed so much I’d have been fishing in SR or Erie by now. One day I’ll just skip the hunting entirely. Tough when it’s a 5 min walk and game almost every...
