Guess since there really isn't one yet I'd start one... It's been a good summer so far. Crappie was 16.25".
Nice fish, Rory. That is a large crappie anywhere in the country. Still on the muskie trail and will probably stay there until the water temps get too warm for successful release. It usually happens in July and keeps us off the water until September. During that time I will bother smallmouth and trout. We've been seeing some big fish lately, but its been mostly the small ones been making it to the boat. This was the one exception.
Great Pics guys! I caught my first Muskie last year and I was so proud of myself and I thought it was so big! Ha! Vito, you could have used my Muskie as bait to catch yours. Nice pics!
Awesome, I've thought we needed a fishing thread for a while.....just didn't want to be the one to start it. I haven't been since Memorial Day weekend. Spent a day on the water with my wife on our favorite lake in the Adirondacks. Caught around 50 post spawn smallmouths, got sunburned, and ate a great dinner afterwards. Here is a pic of the "Tiki Tree" as we have named it. It's a huge flat that has a channel on both sides, the fish come up onto this flat to spawn and it's a great place to catch numbers of smallmouth. This past weekend I detailed the entire boat for the first time. Washed, clay barred, polished, washed again, and applied two coats of wax. I think she turned out pretty good for a 15 year old boat. Now it's time to get some fish slime on it. Tomorrow after work I'm headed up to Champlain to start prefishing for our opening weekend club team tournament, should be around 50 boats. We will prefish Fri/Sat and the tournament is on Sunday. Can't wait, the fish should be post spawn and hungry, and it seems every fish in that lake is big. It's going to take four 3.5-4lb fish and a 5lb+ anchor fish to win it. We are launching out of South Bay and making about a 40 mile run to the Ticonderoga/Port Henry area, so hopefully the weather patterns are nice to us.
I'm about to be in Corpus Christi for the summer, so hopefully I'll be able to get some inland marsh fishing in
Very nice looking fish fellas. Sharp boat you have there Matt, and good luck at Champlain. This my first year joining a bass club, and it's been a blast so far.
So far so good. Caught some nice walleyes in March and May right in front of the house. My brother, and 2 buddies and myself leave for 8 days in Ontario early Friday. Always a fun time. This is our 8th or 9th year to this place. Great food and accomodations and fish. I'll be thinking of you poor suckers working or house bound. http://island10.com/
Here's my first chinook for 2012. Haven't had a chance to get out much, unfortunately. Not the biggest fish but its been slow out where I am recently anyway. Hopefully try out my fortunes again this weekend, if the weather improves.
I only have these pics available to me right now. I caught these on the Salmon river Pulaski NY on Columbus day weekend. I wish i had the picture of the 12lb, 33 inch brown trout i caught in 2010 with me now.
This year i havent been able to get out as much as id like, here's a couple of quick flicks of mine, my wife and some friends catching a few for the table from a local bay, and some carp for sport from a local waterhole, enjoy!
Actually made it out fishing for about 45 min tonight. First fish of the season, a 17 1/2" smallie...
