Other Species Latest Catch Pics Thread

[wet_dream]

Took the kayak out Saturday morning hoping for a topwater bite. Chance of rain kept boats off the water, had the feeling of a crisp fall day. Labor Day weekend, and we had the water to ourselves. Can't wait for the fall striper run.

 

Another beautiful sunrise, doesn't get old

 

26.5 in striper

 

Whopper plopper enticed these little bluefish to bite, but this fiesty things will hit anything lol

The late summer berry hatch is on! Never got an official grass carp on a fly rod before (caught one, but it was hooked outside the mouth), managed to entice one to eat an egg imitation and get an official first on the fly. Just a little guy, but still took about 5 minutes to land.

 

Found a huge school of black crappie in a tiny brushpile off the front of a deep dock too. Hammered them for 20 minutes before I got tired of catching them.

Surprise August Laker



Measured 30". I felt awful having to remove her from the Lake, but she had 2 treble hooks deep in the gill plates, and had already fought a 15 min battle up from 80 feet to warm surface water.

I was trolling in 80 fow after seeing some marks in the 50-60s and got curious. So I let out a Rapala DT20 with 200 yrds of 8lb fluoro line out. I thought they were pike or deep SMB, never thought I'd run into one of these in August.

I was wondering if maybe that Lake Trout was out of season.

Nope, lake trout are open all year, three fish limit, any over 12".

If it's a NY caught fish, I think he's fine.

Haven't check the wall at the post office either.

But either way, I didn't wanna go there.

Well you can't win them all.  For whatever reason the powerhouse turbines were all shut off today so fishing was very slow.  Managed a hookup with what I would estimate a 20-21 inch pink salmon male.  Had to have been pushing master angler (21 inches).  Threw the hooks as my friend was trying to get the net.  Did get a nice 30 second video of it though

Followed me home for dinner

With about an hour of daylight left, I got the extreme urge to fish, so I loaded up my kayak and hurried to the river. Only caught one fish, but it happened to be musky number 27 for me! She followed a war eagle spinnerbait to my kayak and I missed her on the figure 8, but dunked the rod back under and she ate it as soon as I started figure 8ing again! Super cool in clean water, I have always wanted to land one on the figure 8 in a kayak!

I'm guessing his screen name isn't real. D.B. Cooper maybe?

The mods could really draw some activity to the site if they advertised about him

Gorgeous fall day - a little to nice, actually - lol. ENE post front breezes and bluebird skies, but we still managed 

a decent crappie catch given the conditions - just no slabs.

Caught a whole bunch of these guys tonight on a yellow perch patterned Rapala Shadow Rap...fun times! Can't wait for the colder weather to bring the bigguns in shallow again.  And a bonus twofer, a pair of rock bass hitting the Ripstop!

My buddy wanted some fish to eat, so we did a little crappie hunting. I'd found them last week, and they hadn't moved an inch. 15-18 feet of water with a 1/16oz ball head and panfish assassin.

I love Fall fishing for Sunfish. Technically not Fall yet but the big Pumpkinseed and Bluegill think it is.

Ha. None.. that I know of!

Yes Lakers are in season year-round here, totally legal catch. I just like to return big ones like this to the water to breed.. but it is not always possible.

He said that because your face was blacked out. ?

Warm spell moving through this last week and again next. Highs near 90 will temporarily halt our fall fishing progress. No rush, as the crappie have begun grouping up a bit as they move in from their main lake summer homes. A couple pics from this weekend.

Nice crappie, its been a while since I've chased them.  What model depth finder is that? Those are some really good screen shots.

Nice crappie! I like it when you post the sonar screenshot. Keep it up!

Wind was killing me yesterday. Lots of bites but too much line out on a long cast in deep water to get the hooks in them. Only got this little guy to stick.
