Super User Oregon Native Posted February 22, 2019 Super User Posted February 22, 2019 Was pre-fishing with a buddy for a local tourney yesterday and I believe we developed a pattern in the muddy water. Just for kicks was throwing a Silver Buddy and caught not one...but two turtles....yup. Both were in the back left foot in 15 ft of water. I know one was a fluke...but two....that's a pattern!!! 1 8 Quote
Smokinal Posted February 22, 2019 Posted February 22, 2019 Absolutely! Try and remember how long the pause was, depth and time of day. Just duplicate that and you should be golden Pony Boy 1 Quote
Super User fishballer06 Posted February 22, 2019 Super User Posted February 22, 2019 Haha! I've yet to catch a turtle, but I know it will happen eventually. I bet removing the hooks was fun. 1 Quote
ratherbfishin1 Posted February 22, 2019 Posted February 22, 2019 Impressive, I have managed to catch a muskrat in the foot. They look cute in the water but once you see them up close they sure aren't cute anymore. Taking the hooks out sure wasn't fun either. Just so everybody is clear: It was not on purpose I caught it below surface in murky water. 1 1 Quote

Sheeesh..……... I will say it is quite the experience when your fishing fairly new water and it rises almost twenty feet or more in just a two or three days.....Your looking at the bank and going WOW....sure looks different. Yesterday was a test of raingear to be sure….had to make three detours and one put it in 4x4 to get home. Crazy. 2 Quote
Super User Log Catcher Posted February 24, 2019 Super User Posted February 24, 2019 The rain faucet finally got turned off up here. Cumberland Lake may break its all time record it is up so high right now. It is supposed to be dry for several days now and we need it to dry out. Last year we had our wettest year on record and we already have over 11" of rain so far this year. 1 Quote
