I’d love to go back and fish flint creek Mississippi with what I know now, Merritt mill pond Florida and for brookies near Cherokee North Carolina….call it a come back tour….the huge bass came from flint creek

I grew up not far from there….getting to be Spanish mackerel time now….pompano are a blast on light tackle as well

I see where on TR it’s become a thing to trap crawfish and have a good feed……anyone do this? Anyone try on Stockton or Taney?……used to do it in the creeks….some traps are better than others…I had my best luck with the wire minnow trap kind with an extension…..feel free to share recipes!….best bait for me was can of cat food and fish heads put in a bird suet cage

Legacy anglers shop We don’t just sell stuff, we build memories

Pits around Columbus KS has lots….I’d rather eat sunfish than trout

Fished a lot at Lamar great panfish, must be 8” there and bag limits less like 10 but could be wrong..any city employee can enforce regs….great place for a trophy panfish….btw grass carp are protected and can’t bowfish there….sadly common carp fishing sucks….redears over 2#. Pink head squirrel tail jigs tipped with wax worms….red worms for red ears

If you take self inflicted gun wounds out of the mix the gun violence issue changes…this is a mental heath question….locking up crazy people stopped in the very late-70s very early 80’s…. a news paper shined the light on horrific condition and Treatment of challenged people, and movies like “One flew over the cocoon nest” helped push new legislation….it gave us a surge in homeless folks and odd ball people who were harmless with a new out for criminals that they were not guilty due to insanity….mass shootings were unknown until people going postal became a thing, USPS was considered a very good job back in the day, firing a ex military worker with PDSD forced management in many companies to reevaluate the unhiring process….getting enjoyment from letting someone go could have consequences….my guess is some of theses young male shooter had issues fitting in….single parent homes etc didn’t give them the social skill sets they needed…It’s not politically correct to say the kids need a dad in the home…as a note I lived in north San Antonio and know Uvaldi… my heart is hurting for these people😢😢🥺🥺😭😭

Stockton has lots of small carp….few large ones…large being 20# plus

NO! Telling a new employee they have upfront costs…like for a corp laptop/software you give up 1500 bucks to never hear from them again

Many of those offers are scam agents, they find out when they need to pay upfront for work relayed things

Lakes always been clear……lots on YouTube about there

Another red ear I saw posted in a FB panfish group

This is interesting, I recently read deaths of people in the working ages is way way up…things like MS, Bell’s palsy are examples…not small statistical jumps, huge ones literally hundreds of thousands of working people taken out of the labor pool…most states have stopped the hyper unemployment and benefit pay outs...seems we are in the “ smoke and mirrors “ phase of job pay….sign on bonuses, different incentives that are designed to be unobtainable or dribbled out over time to “encourage “ employee loyalty….in the past smoke and mirrors worked, now in todays social media world, it’s hard to BS the potential labor pool long…..our area is long known for the “don’t let the door hit you in the behind, on the way out employer mentality”…..it will be a while more before that changes..until then….

Ditches in the hot summer in ne / nc Arkansas off the black river

In fishermen kept record of fish submitted to their recognition program and found the entry’s followed the 3 days before and the days after a full moon and or new moon…they looked up state records and found the same results…..other things come into play like weather, water conditions, but the results are clear for the biggest fish….I always planned fishing trips in those windows…I’ve caught a lot of big fish that way….perhaps it’s a evolutionary throw back to tidal effects who knows but for trophies it’s true

Dexter lake in Texas they get massive as lake fork there are guides…Ike’s fish was from Dexter Austin Anderson- Owner, CarpPro Texas Guide Service it should be noted a lot of studies going on with buff at the moment, black buffalo are a species of concern in Oklahoma with a one only limit and mandatory reporting to state….a regulation violated often
