Did you catch it on a fly😆

I still have most of those albums at the house😁

I'm a few years younger. So I would listen to my dad's Three Dog Night, America, and Credence albums😁. Then throw in some Everly Brothers and Bobby Goldsboro. Cher apparently was my dad's guilty pleasure music. Gypsy's tramps and thieves😉. All the men would come around and throw their money down!

Thanks Jeff!! Glad that you guys got out after them.

This is for @snagged in outlet 3. Didn't want him to think that this didn't happen without a photo😉

I would have thought that he had castor bean or datura plants. I have a bonsai miniature shefflera arboricola. I had it for close to 20 yrs.

Good luck @Quillback and @Dutch! Can't wait to see your report😉

What a great day Pete! Those are some great looking fish. Glad you took photos!😁

I'm looking forward to this as well. I enjoyed my time spent fishing Crane Creek. It's a great little creek and a cool fishery.

@snagged in outlet 3 and @netboy those are pretty and big trout! Looks like a great time. Hope that you can get out a few more times while the bite is hot.

Agreed. Also they will slime all over your line😒. They fight hard but can be a pain to handle. I have used that rig for blue cats here in MD as well as sharks and rays from the beach. The little guys, e.g., madtoms, don't get too messy. Just have to be careful since they do have venom that can give you a nice sting or burn if you get scratched or stuck with those pectoral fins.

You know that those bullhead will always bite 😉. I would hate to be small and fall into that pond anywhere near those black bullheads.

Haven't they tried to kick you out from fishing that location 😉😆

Nice smallies Jeff!

Like trophy fees for those pesky life lister folks, which mangers can use to secure more habitat 🤣. @FishnDave they are a similar size to a sheepshead minnow and will take a tanago hook😉.

You wouldn't happen to want to send me a text with that location? Asking for a friend😉😁

I have caught a lot of those green trout, aka bass with the Spittin image over the years. That was/is still one of my favorite top water WTD style baits. One year I was trying to catch all of the nine (at the time) black bass species. I caught largemouth, smallmouth, coosa redeye and shoal bass all on the same Spittin Image bait in 2013. Ended up breaking it off on a snag in the Ocmulgee River in GA. Couple of the smallmouth from Missouri One of three coosa redeye bass. My shoal bass from Ocmulgee river north of Macon GA. Where I lost that Spittin Image 😒

Just in case you needed a visual. I've caught quite a few trout on sinking Rapalas but far more on floaters. Fished these guys so hard that I would break the bills off bouncing off rocks. Almost all of the trout caught (90+%) were browns.

What a worthy cause. So proud of you and Pat for sharing your time to this great cause!

That would be like being introduced to Michael Jordan. Oh and he likes to play basketball too😆

Our gas prices range from $3.65 to $3.79 right now. Wouldn't surprise me if we are close or over $4.75 during the summer 😒. Having Sue working helps with my long fishing trip expenses. Though we did pay close to $100 for three of us at Chili's. Sue did have one beer. I don't know how folks just starting out are able to get by.

Jeff there are still a few states like NJ and NY that don't require a saltwater license. Many states may have reciprocity and will honor a bordering states license. If I buy a Maryland saltwater license and a DE nonresident license for $20 I can legally fish saltwater from Long Island to the NC border.

I hope that you guys get the rain that you need and not more than you want 😉. I'm done with rain personally. We have had heavy rains at least once or twice a week for most of the late winter and spring so far. The most that we had was 9 inches in ten days. Of course most of those rains would be Thurs or Friday after I decided what creek or small river that I wanted to fish that weekend only to watch the gage heights climb and climb... 😩.

Quick update. After a month of no fishing due to weather and our trying to move our house by ourselves, finally got out and did some targeted microfishing in PA. Both Livie and I caught lifer slimy sculpin (#10). A bit more aggressive than those in MD but less so than in MO. Livie caught a nice male eastern blacknose dace. Not a lifer but a pretty cool fish. The second location we were targetting another lifer species - Allegheny pearl dace. They were tight in wood piles/root wads and more spooky. I did catch one - which is another new minnow species and adds to the lifer total for the year (#11). Livie caught another male E blacknose dace.

Hey Pete - I would likely say that most of the ones that you have caught are southern flounder. Definitely some nice catches buddy! I love catching flounder.
