wow nice. catch. do you usually go early morning usmc?

[Patrick M]

usmc what type of boat do you have?

[usmcgrunt]

I just fish from the bank since I don't have a boat. When I go out, it's always in the morning, right as the sun is coming up and I usually leave by 10 so I can get home and watch my daughter while my girlfriend is at work. But even in that 4 hours I can almost always land at least one 15+ inch fish and a few smaller ones

[Patrick M]

where do you bank fish from?

[usmcgrunt]

usually the hot water outlet. i can always count on there being some nice fish hanging out around there

[Daveinozark]

hey USMC, try in the park at the end of the road by the boathouse. That turnaround is a good transition spot where fish seem to hang out. Some crappie and perch hang out there too

[usmcgrunt]

Thanks Dave, I'll have to try that out tomorrow. Hopefully with this slight weather change they won't be hunkered down too much.

Well I went out again Tuesday, but it didn't last very long. I caught a couple shorts, about 12 inches each on my favorite popper and couldn't buy a bite with anything else. I cut the trip short due to a few rude people either throwing over my line, or my personal favorite: moving my gear so they could fish a certain place. That one set me off a little, so to stay out of trouble I just went home.
