BilletHead Posted May 16 Share Posted May 16 Nothing yet in Vernon County but we were in Hickory County, west side and they were everywhere. got a handful and pitched them into a friend's pond that has bluegill and hybrid bluegill. Looked like piranha gobbling them up.

"Oh NO YOU DON'T, Mister......

The 2 guys behind me don’t let them cut the common ground between us because it’s “not done right”. Funniest stuff ever watching them bolt out the door when a new crew doesn’t know the “rules”. But hey. No cicadas!! Daryk Campbell Sr and trythisonemv 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trythisonemv Posted May 16 Share Posted May 16 Wonder if the rain has held them off here? We have had so much rain snagged in outlet 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looked like piranha gobbling them up When we were in Columbia during the last big emergence, we filled a syrofoam bucket with them and fished for bluegill. Put on a cicada, cast, set hook, reel in and release. By the time that you let the fish go another cicada would "volunteer" by climbing to the rim. trythisonemv, ness, Harv and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MOPanfisher Posted May 16 Share Posted May 16 Way back possibly before I could legally drive we had a big hatch. Wade fishing the creek was sure fun for a while, like you said pit one on cast pause set the hook. Those big green sunfish (black perch) were so full.of cicadas you could see parts sticking out of their mouth.

jdmidwest Posted May 20 Author Share Posted May 20 Was by the farm today and they were buzzing everywhere. I could hear them over the mower and muffs on my ears. Could not tell if mower was making noise or bugs. I mowed by one bush and one lit up at my head, I started looking for a rattle snake. Not uncommon to see one on the farm. Really spotty. Camped on Spring River this weekend, you could hear them, but none in camp. Driving along a ridge today between Couch and 11Pt river, bugs flying all over. Marble Hill seems to be a hotspot too.

fishinwrench Posted May 20 Share Posted May 20 They are spotty around here. You can travel miles of shoreline and not see any, then all of a sudden there will be a 30 yard stretch that every tree/bush will be covered in them. The ducks and geese seem to be the first to locate them. The fish don't seem to care at all. 🤷♂️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quillback Posted May 20 Share Posted May 20 They are in the woods all around the dam area at Beaver. Constant loud buzzing noise. But they all stay back in the woods, never saw one on the water. snagged in outlet 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
