In the south about every gas station sells crickets. I’ve not seen any here but Petsmarts 35 mins away. Nothing seems to like the preserved crickets either. I also use a bait trap and catch tiny brim to use on it. That’s the secret to big brim in NC farm ponds.

If there’s brim close enough to shore I can get the cricket keeper filled and bring the Brim Buster. It’s a Carbon Fiber esque cane pole that’s 12-15’. You just tie off your line to the tip top and there’s no reel. Freaking blast to use for crappie, big shell cracker, and the random bass. Like a...

I’m just teasing Randy. I’ve probably got something I can use. I have 4 others that don’t fit or are in my 2 rod backpack setup. If I remember I can bring the trout sized centerpin for you to try out. I’m struggling with it more than a full 14’ rod so might have the bigger rod setup as well. I’m...

I didn’t get a pic but the popular Dam in my last pic was much closer to flat 2 days ago. I plan to “scout” before Sunday so I can update. They didn’t have the 20”+ stocking for the youth derby so biggest I landed this year in May was 18”. Years past you might hit a 22-24” in a log jam making it...

A month or so back, still trout in pics:

2 days ago:

Posting here since I broke something. This is MC Creek a few days ago. I’ll post the low water pics too. There were about a dozen 13-15” trout in each tiny pool when it dried up. They either are in the fast water, washed to the Lehigh, or the predators picked them off(2 and 4 leg). I fished it...

Somehow trying to attach a pic to a PM I disabled the entire message toolbar on top of this box. No clue but nothing in profile to reverse and leaving page didn’t help. Leave it to me to screw up an easy thing.

Haha, we’d just block the dates from renters. Not physically throw someone out.

SL, we might could evict the renter from our vacation rental for you to overnight sometime. Sleeps 4 if your friendly, Queen bed with a Queen Sleeper sofa in a shared bed/living room. Total space is something like 1200 Sq Ft with private driveway and custom kitchen.

From Pottstown? Obit from 2020 for someone fitting description. Bittersweet to know the ends coming. Time to prepare and say goodbyes but prolonged illness is a rollercoaster. Dad died at 39 from Lung Cancer after first diagnosis at 34 and 3 major surgeries.

Geneva is the top of Seneca lake. 30 mins east of Canandaigua (the town). I used to live in Canadaigua. Signs all over Geneva about “Lake Trout Capitol of the World”. I was to busy and poor to chase them settling for a few trips for lowly carp around my place.

I wasn’t advertising your fish, don’t want to get black listed.

See people use them for catfish and all kinds of other stuff. I’ve read Europe Carp was the start. I know they are nuts about carp there. All kinds of crazy contraptions to catch them. I saw a show where 4 famous European personalities fished ones private lake for 3-4 varieties. I like carp...

So I’ll keep Head Count/food: TC: 2 pepperoni, mushroom, no cheese Don: 1 any pizza they’ve leftover

Shhhh let him learn on his own. Collar will slowly tighten. I made it 15 years and somehow the leash has shortened more in the last 3. Right about when she became a Stay At Home. You’d think the gaggle of kids would provide enough air support.

Secrecy on my wacky methods not the location. There are a few hidden gems there and a few seemingly perfect holes that just never hold fish. Mostly working the bottom of the fast runs under any log jams is usually the best method. I doubt it’ll drop to 0 flow in a few days. Yesterday was too...

That’s why I use it. If they don’t hit live twitchy bait they won’t hit much else. I’ll fish with you but you’ll have to be sworn to secrecy lol. The creek is pretty small but if flow stays decent it’ll be close to perfect minus the 20”+ fish it holds in spring. Realistic expectations would be...
