But, if you lather them up in a batter and deep fry them anyways, you'd be hard pressed to notice a difference between ANY type of fish.

 

Heh. You're probably right.

That’s not completely true, fried drum is rubber 😂

Just one small bass today, so no posts in that thread, but I did find a couple more good crappie - One just missing the magic mark at 2.91 lbs and another right at 2 lbs. The pipe flange in the second picture is 18” for perspective.

Got out briefly after work, wind was howling and current was 5-6 mph, borderline unfishable. I found like 10 sq ft of soft water in an eddy and was able to get some panfish on worms. Did mark and incredibly large school of what I think it white bass and skipjack, won’t be long until the 50 fish days start happening. Need the water to slow down

We did our yearly trip to Baja De Navidad this past week.  Usually we catch lots of tuna, but I had difficulty finding tuna.  The Blue Marlin bite was good, so the trip was a success.  We landed 7 Blue Marlin, and one Striped marlin in three days of fishing off of Bara.  The trip back to PV seas were rough, and we only were able to catch one dorado, and a couple of rooster fish.  Normally I let all Marlin go, but my crew wanted to keep one, because it did not look like we were going to go home with a boat load of tuna.  The rest of the marlin for that trip and all the other trips this year were released in good condition.  We did hook one large tuna that the owner of the boat fought for 1.5 hours and lost near the boat.

Amazing you can still love Bass fishing as much as I know you do after doing that.

 

That's the top of the mountain in fishing as far as I'm concerned.

Bass are the top of the mountain for me, but unfortunately I haven't had time to bass fish yet this year.  The boat I captain had some issues this trip, that I have to haul out to repair.  I was hoping to have time to bass fish in March and April, but probably wont be able to get on the water for more than a day or two.  I have a couple big tuna trips to get ready for in May and with a haul out, and other maintenance, I will be lucky to get a chance to fish for bass at all.  I'm not complaining, I have a fun job, but it is hard to keep my mind off the double digit bass swimming in my local waters.

Yeah I might think differently if I got to Bass fish in Mexico 😎

 

Hope you get to do some Bass fishing soon enough pal, but until then I'm not feeling sorry for you with 7 Blue Marlin 😆

Got out on the home waters after work. Quite swift but managed a couple, one was 2.20 lbs which is pretty large for a white bass. Got one with the new st croix spinning combo and one with the not so new st croix mojo bass and seviin reel. The baitcaster is spooled with seaguar JDM braid 33 lb and 12 lb seaguar pounce leader. It was bombing a 1/4 oz jighead and original fluke. The leader is still on there from the weekend and holding strong. Didn’t really need it for this application but didn’t bother cutting it off. 
 

Only one more sleep until daylight savings!!!

Those look yummy! I'm getting pretty excited, ice is almost out around me. Small ponds are open, rivers open and bigger ponds ain't far behind. Potentially look for some ice out cats tomorrow.

Long time I didn't post, We were busy working and fishing and we had fire here that we needed to deal with.

We were fishing every Friday to Sunday, This weekend we didn't go to deal with Tanks house(our Tortoise). Bass fishing was so tough so far but I do bass fish no matter what. Ill report that and condition under another post.

@ATA I’m sincerely hoping everything is alright with Tank and his house along with yours more importantly. Also nice looking rainbow trout the better half is holding up.
