Of course, I’m about catching so big bass to me as a kid where caught with a top fin hooked shiner/shad with bottom rear fin clipped and a few split shot between it and a huge orange/yellow bobber thrown along shore into nests. Ruthlessly effective though most purists despise it.

Plastics, jigs, spinners, or my favorite minnows behind 1/4 barrel sinker slipping is a pretty effective setup for getting below milfoil blooms to the thinner stalk areas a retrieval might work in.

I caught some 16” Brookies on a shiny gold bare hook a few years ago. Lots of hits retrieving and when it was in I realized I had lost my bait so I just casted the shiny hook again repeatedly catching fish on fast retrieves. I also use Carolina rigs with extremely fast retrieves or even...

I cut hooks off troutmasters and bead spinners then run a 12-16” leader behind them and a minnow. I sort of replicated what a bait shop worker showed me on Seneca with big flasher plates or something used for Lakers. They used a small bait behind I think. Same deal plus ia trout master is a heck...

Today, for my soon to be 10 yo, things are costly, probably cut into my fishing budget a hefty amount, may borrow it to ride up the gorge fishing. Thing weighs almost nothing and pedals way easier than any bike I’ve ever used. Should’ve talked him into the rear rack,,, would hold my pack well...

And just to prove MC has better fish than we saw, this was midsummer a few years back, not my biggest but TC might recognize the log jam in the background, it’s the one near the parking area,

For PA fish, a few of my kids catches

Ketchikan in September

Just to show it’s not a “Fish Tale”

Hahahaha, I have the metal can too and I don’t see the “Bait Up” in your pics,,, I like the setup though, come back during spring and you’ll be a devout believer, Watch the size 4 eagle claws too. The loop isn’t connected so if you roll something like 4lbs Seaguar Blue Label your knot slips...

Ok,,, not really,,,, not even I could live that down, I lived on the Bennington border. I don’t really respect a guy who’s parents worked their entire life to put a spoiled child through Ivy League school just so he’ll lay on their couch until getting elected in his 40’s. Then wants to give all...

Just in case I didn’t offend all equally,,, I voted for Sanders,,,,,,

Soooo who’s got fish biting? I’m only in Western NY until tomorrow evening. It’s about 65 degree highs and breezy, feels like fall, smells like fall, hear it’s pouring back home, Probably in Nashville and Atlanta off and on at least part of September. College kids partying on a tractor pulled...

I’m indifferent, perk of living a blissfully ignorant, charmed life,

Y’all a bunch of degenerate @$$holes that only care about slimey smelly fish while the rest of the world is oppressed and dying from Biden, disease, or murdered before given a choice via Planned Parenthood…… Less concerned now about content Don? Lol,,,,,, Ok now that the crass childish...

Hahaha so much more awesome than that! All this greatness with no passable abilities at all.

I’m borrowing a larger raft to run from Drakes down to the Glen. It’s to decide if I want to invest in a 3 person short framed raft or cataraft. I know they get big fish between JT and Bowmanstown. I like the little spots and inaccessible tribs for creek lunches. I’m just worried it’ll be...

Yep that run is exactly where guides run trips through. There’s one 18’ framed raft, a few 3 person cats, and downstream I see drift boats. Think the drift boats put in downstream but those are big boats. Don’s would probably do the full trip if a few short shallow rapids are ok.

Let me check something, I’ve a potential idea. Gotta figure out how to approach but if you know my haunts you might be able to read into it.

Beginners luck,,,, minnows never hurt, Gotta get TC back out, first time ever being skunked on trout at MC. Even with high pressure all summer and the horde of campers hitting it right before us we should’ve got a couple of the hits to hold a hook for us.
