Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted May 23, 2017 Global Moderator Posted May 23, 2017 Some of the better green and brown fish from my 2 days of fishing this past week. Most were on either my homemade finesse jigs, or homemade micro jigs. One of the smallmouth was on a Ned rig, one largemouth was on a Whopper Plopper 90. Both days were great days, the kind of days where you're surprised when you make a cast and don't get a bite. 25 Quote

I seen everything else laying out on the boat , 2 Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted May 23, 2017 Global Moderator Posted May 23, 2017 That's what happens when I'm junk fishing. The first lake we were on has about equal numbers of largemouth and smallmouth and they can be caught in 30' on a drop shot, a foot of water on a toowater, flipping grass or laydowns, and everythingin between. I caught a fish on every rod I had out except my swimbait rod that had the big rat on it though. 2 Quote
boostr Posted May 23, 2017 Posted May 23, 2017 Took the boat out a second time to a new to me lake (Greenwood Lake NJ/NY.. yes it's split in half by these 2) The most bassy looking lake. Holds smallmouth, largemouth, Muskies, Pike, lake trout, and walleye... mangaged to catch a measely hand size whiper or white perch. Wasn't even worth taking a picture of. Got soaked in a rain storm when it wasn't supposed to rain... didn't bring my rain gear. This was more of a getting to know my boat, and backing up the trailer practice trip more than anything so it was a good day. 3 Quote

jr231 Posted May 23, 2017 Posted May 23, 2017 @everythingthatswims that's funny... It'd be more funny if it's true. If only he was a cop in Colorado. 2 Quote
JohnnyQuestWY Posted May 24, 2017 Posted May 24, 2017 One of a 4 I caught this past weekend. This one hit that buzz bait like a 10 pounder.. caught me by surprise. 7 Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted May 27, 2017 Global Moderator Posted May 27, 2017 I had a guide trip Thursday and put the guys on lots of nice fish. One of the guys broke his PB smallmouth twice. In my attempt to avoid catching "their fish", I was fishing a Popping Pad Crasher and managed my first frog smallmouth of the year after a couple hits and misses. Friday was the hunt for a giant, which went terribly, but at least the PPC was getting smashed by the bucks anytime we could find a ball of fry. 14 Quote
jr231 Posted May 27, 2017 Posted May 27, 2017 5" hard body swimbait... Got her to the bank to see one point of one treble in her ! Made my weekend 15 Quote
Jd_Phillips_Fishin Posted May 29, 2017 Posted May 29, 2017 Falcon treated us pretty good this weekend: Day 1 9.1 lber on a 6XD 25 inches long and 17.5 was the girth! Day 2 was pretty tough, nothing worth taking a picture over. Day 3 gave us a couple of studs! 27 Quote
YoTone Posted May 30, 2017 Posted May 30, 2017 broke my pb on the same holiday weekend a year ago. 5.5 lb, with a strike king burner in the shallowest of waters. i basically cast parallel to the bank. 22 Quote

Super User everythingthatswims Posted May 31, 2017 Super User Posted May 31, 2017 Well I don't have any good fish pictures but my partner and I won again on the local reservoir this evening, had a 4lb margin of victory this time. Just the confidence boost I needed before I head to Lay Lake Alabama on Sunday for the B.A.S.S. College Wild Card! The linked picture will convey how fun this evening's tournament was for me.

wdp Posted June 1, 2017 Posted June 1, 2017 Wish I'd known this thread existed, would've posted sooner. This is not my PB but very close to it. Still trying to break 10 lbs. This girl weighed 9'4" and was just at 24" in length. Caught her last Saturday on a 6th Sense shallow crank. 16 Quote
Fishin' Fool Posted June 1, 2017 Posted June 1, 2017 Two words....drop shot. Must have caught 60 fish today. Some were dinks but these weren't. 17 Quote
lonnie g Posted June 3, 2017 Posted June 3, 2017 wow! that is one pretty lady! nice fish congrats! 5 Quote
Super User everythingthatswims Posted June 3, 2017 Super User Posted June 3, 2017 This month I will be taking two junior anglers from my old high school team to their National Championship in Tennessee (sort of paying it forward I guess). I took one of them out on Friday for a little fishing because all experience is good practice! He skipped out on field day to go fish, kid has his priorities straight 17 Quote
Mocktopus Posted June 3, 2017 Posted June 3, 2017 So I took the kids fishing today. 77° sunny bluebird skies. Slight stain to the water. Nothing was working. So instead of bass I figured we could try for a reaction bite from the local chain pickerol. I cast once with a 1/4oz red double silver blade spinner and caught this. A 14" rainbow trout. Worst part is I hate catching trout because they are too fragile. I don't eat them so I always have to find someone to give them to. 11 Quote
BASS302 Posted June 4, 2017 Posted June 4, 2017 @Bluebasser86, I like the rod in each hand and a fish on each rod! Also, at about 2:24 ish there are some big birds being harassed by a little bird. Quote

They all get pretty defensive about their nesting areas this time of year. Quote
budgetbassin Posted June 4, 2017 Posted June 4, 2017 They were really munching the frogs yesterday. This one ate a Stanley Ribbet about 3 feet from shore. The blowup splashed water on me and nearly gave me a heart attack. 14 Quote
lonnie g Posted June 6, 2017 Posted June 6, 2017 had a decent past three evenings, fished about 2 to 3 hrs. each evening. caught 29 first night 7 second one, and an even dozen this evening, including this fat girl. they still are right on the bank here in southern Indiana. that's all my back could take , I give! 12 Quote
MTPanda Posted June 6, 2017 Posted June 6, 2017 Caught this guy today first time using a zoom superfluke http://i.imgur.com/HrfHDlL.jpg I decided to try to rig it banjo minnow. Caught a few more like this. Also caught my first bass off a jig today! http://i.imgur.com/GoHl4P5.jpg Not very big but I checked two things off my list of new lures to catch bass with! 19 Quote
