They look just like them only different……. 
 

I found a river I could walk for miles without even getting my wallet wet in my back pocket, pretty crazy. At home it’s 20 feet deep right next to shore basically everywhere

Kinda like up here when I fish the Juniata river. We wade out to the middle and it’s just above our waist. Then your next step you hit a hole and it’s swimming time.

Made 3-4 casts in a new work route pond and caught this little guy.

Then it started lightning too close and I had to quit?

Went down to the creek this morning and this little guy was the only thing biting. Caught him on a green pumpkin Chatterbait with one of those Berkley The Deal trailers.

After about an hour, got in the car and drove to the lake. Made a few casts right where I had parked the car, but about 100 yards away was this spot.

Ever look at a place and think "this is it"? Made a cast right at the end of the limb there, let the jig hit bottom, dragged it, and immediately felt a bite and a couple of head shakes. Managed to get this guy out of there.

Now, he may not look like much, but it's my biggest jig fish so far and the latest entry in Johnny's Jig Journal. 

 

Lost that jig, plus two more on that little lay down. And I had already lost another one when my connection knot fell apart - also causing one of *those* backlashes. Oh, and another little Keitech jig at the creek earlier. Also backlashed another reel that was spooled with 15lb InvizX - not liking that stuff as a main line so far, but it works okay as a leader - and had to take my little Curado 71 MGL from the topwater/jerkbait rod and put it on my jig rod. Turns out that 30lb regular Power Pro to 12lb Trilene fluoro works just fine for a football jig setup.

Nothing special a 10,12,14 or so on a 1/32 oz jig head with a tiny grub then a flat worm and last but not least a 4.5 quiver worm.

If you hold it out a little farther it would be an A-Jay caliber fish

No doubt ~ 

I guess a 75 inch sleeve length would do it.

Either way, that's one's bigger than anything I got all day yesterday.

14 bass yesterday, nothing over 2lbs I did catch this nice Pickerel on a wacky rig.

Nice pickerel there, I hate what they do to plastics and line but they get a special mention as always willing to hit a lure. Sometimes more than once........Once they hit about 3-4lbs its a fun battle to the boat.

Chunky fish .......seem to be eating well ? Tomorrow is first day out since the rain for couple days. Got 7 rigs ready and waiting.......one is of course a wacky rig. Lotta weedless set-ups for the junk in the water as well as all the breaking off weed mats. Arrowheads died overnight with the cold night we just had. Water temps (low to mid sixties) dropping with upper forty's to low fifty's the new night time norm.

Got a big one this morning but left my scale at home. I carry my gear in my pockets during warm weather so the scale frequently gets left behind. This one seemed at least the equal to a 7.2 I caught in July. Tiny Sub Wart 04 did the trick.

Great summer fish. Haven't seen anything close to that in the ponds I fish on this side of town. Sure some of them have a few, but access is technically limited due to privacy, though I see plenty of people breaking that rule all the time.

Nice fish I always tend to estimate low looking at them, but a scale takes the guesswork out. Good one and hope more come w/this fall like weather now.

These ponds are on the west side of Carmel. My work introduces me to a lot of suburbanites.

Got out for a few hours this morning in a slight drizzle but nice and calm. Started out with a couple dozen smallmouth on a spook, nothing over 3lbs though but still fun. After a while that bite shut down so I switched up and went for largemouth. Between a frog, and a Tokyo rig Maxscent creature hawg, I got another 20 or so largemouth. Again no monsters, but still got a good batch of bass thumb ??.

First time fly fishing for either of us so happy we caught a few and the boy has bragging rights for the biggest fish for now…

Never fished for trout but they are beautiful. Congratulations to your son on a job well done and the well earned bragging rights??
