Striped Shiner

I wish I had shot a video. I took multiple photos and they are all crap. It was truly horrific. Aquatic feeding did him no favors at all.

I did adult stuff most of the day and got a lot of stuff done, but pretty mad I didn’t get to fish more. I had a lot of fun in two hours and added a species to the annual tally. I also did something pretty strange. I was soaking a Crawler hoping for a catfish. A breeze was easing the boat along. I saw the line tighten up a wound down into the fish. Fish had some weight, but wasn’t pulling at all. It came up and was a good size carp, but not putting out any effort at all. It rolled over and the entire body cavity was gone. I managed to catch a dead fish in the mouth with a circle hook. CajunAngler rides me pretty hard for having “dead hands” sometimes, and he’d Be right this time. Dang fish died and rotted before I noticed. I got to catch a Red Ear so the trip was a success even though I only caught 15.

Looking for Tips on using my R & V fish fryer. I know Little Red Fisherman has one. I have several other friends with them. I’ve read through the Owners Manual and it seems pretty straight forward, but I had questions about storing oil, filtering oil, how long to use the oil. I plan on using Peanut oil. Selective Harvest of a renewable resource, but no smallmouth will be cooked in this cooker.

They hates us.

As opposed to Greensides which are the living embodiment of over cautious. darn things are scared of their shadow.

Logperch are Cool! My first I caught on a Zig Jig. My second came on a Micro crankbait. CajunAngler caught one on a Ned Rig from Bull Shoals Lake! poor Livie always comes up short when it’s picture taking time. (Carp) fence lizards are really tough to catch once it warms up. A little easier when it is cooler weather. Congrats on the Log Perch !

Better than a pocket on a shirt

Line manufacturers aren’t real helpful. Look at P Line CX Premium

🤨 Guilty as charged Your Honor.

😕, Please report that to AGFC

Love You Super Dave. I’m ready for all this to be a nothing more than a bad memory for you guys. God Bless

If you aren’t opposed to scaling and frying them whole, the small Crappie are excellent. For better or worse, I grew up eating filllets.

Crappie are a difficult fish to manage. In some lakes, it takes a long time for them to get to 9 inches. I set my minimum keeper length at 10 inches years ago. I also don’t keep them longer than 13 inches. But as long as people are following the regs of the lake they are fishing, I don’t care what others keep. I got a new Fish cooker for my birthday and I intend on frying fish a lot more often. My Catch and Release % is going to go down as soon as I use up the fish I caught last year.

,I have few laying around here and there in my stuff. I’ve literally NEVER caught a fish of any kind on them. Do they catch fish? YES, just not for me.

I’m hoping we’ve seen the last of > 672 water for the 2018 calander year. Im hoping to get on Bull a couple more times before I fully turn my attention to other fishing opportunities.

Man, I need to travel more.

I’m sorry for your loss. I hope you find peace and your new normal quickly.

Lots of beautiful fish we overlook in our pursuit of larger fish. Oh well, to each his own. I ❤️ Then all.

I’m Sorry to see that it’s come to divorce. I wish your differences could have been resolved. I also apologize for not having seen this. I had a guy or two I could have suggested, but you’ve got that covered. Youve got my number. I’m still around. Text me if I can help I will

Add in that Bison and Elk tend to stand and face a threat rather than flee means you’d better be able to stop because said elk or bison is likely to stand their ground in the HWY and take your vehicle on.

Sorry about the “troubles”, but hey you go on the water and whacked em. I did not get on the water and caught zero fish.

In a few years, this is going to be a hilarious family story. Right now it really sucks though. Sorry Bro. I’m glad you have the temperament to handle it, but trying times that develope such patience and perseverance and difficult at best. you got this.
