Got a couple bonus crappie targeting bass with a 1/8 jighead 2.8" fat keaitech

Bass doesn’t open here for a while yet, but pike opened up on the 1st so I took the kid out for a few hours this morning. Water is still quite cold, and with the cloud cover today the big girls weren’t interested in anything, even though we could see them laying around. Need another week or so to get them more active. Did find a few little guys though, enough to get some slime on the boat for the first time this year. Sure was nice to get out and set a hook a few times!

1.5 lb crappie. I pitched my 5" T rigged senko into a bush and she inhales it and starts swimming off. Big girl with a big appetite....

Had a rough trip for bass after picking up my boat from the shop, but calm winds, sunny skies, and super clear water doesn't usually make for good bassing. Lots of little guys, although I did get to see some big cruisers, before I found the mother load of beds right at the end. Not the beds I was looking for, but I grew up chasing gills in creeks and I still enjoy catching them now, and sight fishing for them makes it even more fun.

Time for a break again, been pounding the Walleye on the big river tun for the last 6 week's, culling limits daily. Some day's catching 20 to 30 fish, everything from sucker quilback and buffalo and drum, to walleye small mouth and white bass, even one day when several healthy channels and blue cats lit it up, jig fishing at it's best!

 

I finally called it a year last Friday. But the freezer is full. 4 and 5 days a week with limits usually averaging 20" and running from 18" to 26" this year. Not big ones running to spots on the rivers not known for hogs, but with the new river rig I built last summer it sure made it nice getting away from the big crowds even though the fish ran smaller, heck were freezer filling not hunt'n fer trophy's, we wanted eaters! 

 

We usually had spots to our self, or maybe 2 or 3 others that were there to fish, not party! I now can say this was my 46th year fishing this big Walleye migration off Lake Erie, and I only pray I can continue doing it for years to come, no better way to spend March and April in these parts! We caught plenty and best of all had a great season!

tilapia (quite a big one, took a worm...)

Lol, it's a weird little beast! Said to be a good food source in it's native country, but I wouldn't know how they taste...

They look pretty meaty, probably make some nice fillets, then you could have an “exotic” dinner ?

One of the best ways to understand what's going on in your waters (with the bass) is to fish the bluegill spawn. Spent a couple hours doing that last night and managed about 4 dozen nice gills. Planning on pulling out the fly rod and hitting it again this weekend.

Long time lurker but first post.  Had some fun with the power of the ned last night.  Along with the bass came 2 muskies and 3 strippers. 

 

Quite the surprise to reel into a muskie using a TRD.

Amazing how versatile the TRD is.  Also amazing how it usually hooks them in the side or tip of the mouth in most cases.  I have been bit off by pickerel - the toothy critter where I fish, however for the most part, I'm able to land these toothy devils with the TRD and lose very few.

 

Welcome to the forum, that's a beautiful musky.

Why are bluegill attacking my lipless?  I caught four this size.

[jr231]

Cuz they're hungry and you're fishing where they're present and/or gaurding their nests? Lol that's a nice one... Bust out the Ultra light 

[Hook2Jaw]

Yessir, I plan on it Wednesday after work!  The pond is also eat up with crappie.  It's gonna be a fish fry down here.

[Bluebasser86]

Had the first run in with a flathead that there's been since winter time on Monday. Gave Lake all the fight he could handle.

Bluegill gotta eat too

Got this big Softshell this evening on a live bream. Thought it was a big catfish at first. My G. Daughter finally netted it after a hard fight of 7-10 minutes. It was app.25 inch long and completely filled up my cooler.

Got into some crappie this afternoon.  I had never really caught them before, they are a blast on my Ned rod.
