6) Black Sea Bass, Centropristis striata, also caught in NJ. I was not expecting to catch any of these guys on this trip, since I probably will catch well over 50 this year going for them and for other species. Hoping for more exotic or less common species.

Livie 4) Bergall or cunner, Tautogolabrus adspersus. Captain kept calling these guys "perch"

5) Bergall or cunner, Tautogolabrus adspersus, a wrasse species closely related to Tautog or blackfish. Caught off shore of NJ

So if a man makes a statement and a woman is not around to hear it, is he still Wrong?!?

How Dare You!!

In PA pretty common to have to go through a drive through beer distributor to get a few cases of beer.

Now this was so bad it was hilarious. Now one of my top 5 movies 🤣

@Hog Wally That would be awesome if it is a pure sauger. Good luck.

Congrats on that beast! That's a thick and healthy fish.

I only recall yellow eyes for spots but don't routinely catch that many.

You never want to be smaller than a chicken (or turkey)! It's been said that a chicken will try to eat what ever doesn't eat them .

@Orey10m Similar to @snagged in outlet 3 said above I go to the Activity tab and then typically go to All Activity or My Activity Streams instead of Unread content. If you follow members, you can access their content through the My Activity tab.

Based upon the definition any jig with feathers, chenille, etc. can be fished with spin gear in those areas.

Pete - Like these? I caught these two in the same river and the same day only about a 1/4 mile of river between them. I had thought that the eye color in smallmouth bass was a male/female deal though really had not looked into it much.

Gave you a gimmie to round out the total .

Did see that the Jacks Fork/Current River as well as the 11 pt and other south flowing rivers in the southeast portion of the state are within the distribution range for redspotted sunfish. A couple of redspotted caught in Black river watershed area near Poplar Bluff. A couple from a Texas trip with @Ham

I know that redspotted sunfish are in the eastern rivers near Poplar bluff. Was going to check distribution this morning to see if they could be found in Jacks Fork.

Congrats! Looks like a great and successful family outing!

We have been seeing flocks of swans and large flocks of snow geese lately. Likely that they are headed back north.

Barring the innuendo WD 40 makes a great fish attractant 😉!

One summer while in grad school we were working up in the Poconos. We stayed in a 90+yr old house. One night a flying squirrel got in the house. When we have had bats or birds in the house we would throw up a towel that they would fly into and we could take them outside and release them. We tried that with the squirrel. It would climb up to the ceiling on the one side of the room. As we went over to it the squirrel would glide over our heads to the other side of the room. Did this a few times until we placed a blocker at the spot we anticipated it to glide down. Finally got it in the towel and back outside 🙂. Pretty funny scene for sure.

Sunday chili. Ground beef, kidney bean, chili Pinto beans, onions, shallots, green peppers, garlic, tomato paste, diced tomato and green chili sauce, chicken stock, light and dark chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, cayenne, smoked paprika, and some time.

Had a couple more tough outings chasing something going to bite in the Coldwater. Feels like I lucked into this stocked Rainbow (Oncorhynchus mykiss) - #4

Drive one of the elk tours in or near peck ranch. Great scenery and in evenings will see lots of deer and maybe some elk.

Still think that these old Miller Lite commercials were the best.
