Things are getting better Mark if they are striking on the surface...Tulls does have a tendency to mud up in some areas more than the other area rivers at times...Saw the 80s stretched up through the mid Atlantic today so that will help......Thanks for the update......

Sounds like fun Jeff.  Caught about half a dozen bream on the popping bug (Tulls creek) yesterday.  Water is still a little muddy.  Hope they really turn on in the next few weeks

Thanks Steve...I know it's a busy time for you, but I'm hoping you will get on some of your Spring time Gills soon and share some of the stories with us...

Do love those pictures and stories Jeffrey. Enjoy yourself on your road trip. Be safe, catch plenty of fish everywhere and return home safely.

Down to just three weeks until Good Friday but I'm betting things will bust out early this year....I've fished in some old haunts down in South Carolina this week and a few new spots in Central Georgia on the way to my old stomping grounds down on the bayous of Louisiana tomorrow...Regardless of how the fishing goes in Louisiana, I will return to North Carolina later this month energized for the new season......Doug from DB City Marina has tuned up my Mercury outboard and checked everything out for me and said I'm ready for the new season....The early season photos from last Spring are a great reminder of things to come......Moral of this story....Get Ready in Carolina.....March Madness starts tomorrow and the Bluegill bite soon after!

Those camels are good bait if you can catch some.....The fly fishing will help pass the time as well Roy...I hope things are wide open soon....No matter where I fish my favorite fishing is North Carolina black water rivers for Coppernose......

I've caught one or two, but never really knew what it was.
Looks like it's getting close to fishing time. Last year I had a ton of camel crickets under the house, think I'll crawl under tomorrow and look and if their there I'll put out a couple of traps and start a collection for the fishing trips.
I think I'm also going to finally learn how to set up my fly rod. I'm heading to the Caribbean in may for a couple of months and would like to do a little fly fishing while I'm there. I know nothing about it, so I think I'll figure out what line I need and try to learn on the pond and river below the house.

It's a big golden Shiner Roy.....basically a really nice bass bait.....A couple places I go have a lot of these and they hit crickets pretty good so you normally hook a few of the bigger ones....

Comment by ROy T. Gray on March 13, 2012 at 3:30pm

I'm a mostly saltwater fishermen whose getting into bluegills so forgive my ignorance, but what is the fish in Jeffrey's Friday post that's not a gill and not a bass?

Comment by Steve Crowder on March 12, 2012 at 7:50am

It appears I really missed a good fishing weekend. But something came up Saturday that would had me on the water really late. Wife was off work yesterday, so I stayed home with her. Our schedule is where we see each other about 30 minutes in the morning each day and very seldom on the weekends. This Democratic Convention coming to Charlotte has really gotten everything moving. Lots of people already coming in. Hopefully things will calm down soon. Water is warming and so am I! Need to go fishing.
