Fishing By the Numbers

Recapping one my fastest and most-scientfic early Springs ever near home is best done by the numbers. 112 - number of fish caught on maggots vs. 35 fish caught using GULP in the shootout experiment.  224 fish I would have had if I hadn't used artificial baits that day. 22,000 grubs ordered for events, club fishing and my fishing for early Spring - they're on their…

Mostly been bass fishing last month or so

Well, it's warming up and the bluegills are moving in to the banks of the lake. I'll be getting them soon. But if you want to see a few of the bass I caught this week and last, let me know. :)

Tuesday while I was fishing the private lake that caught caught me all of those perch last month and those nice bulls last year, I hit a nice one!

Was throwing a 4cm silver shad Rapala Jointed Shad Rap when I get a nice hit. It felt like I was reeling in a decent yellow perch that kept on getting grabbed hard by a big largemouth. I get it in and caught a new personal best bluegill! 9 1/2 inch 14 ounce bull which beat my old one by 1 ounce!…

Polluted waterways

http://motherjones.com/blue-marble/2012/03/top-10-polluted-rivers-waterways

Lost something big

I did pretty good today caught 13 bluegill's and 2 bass using a Mosquito but I think my line was friding and a little one snap it (My Fault wasn't thinking). So I just put a new #16 Mosquito on. About 4 cast's later letting it sit on top I made a few strip's while on top BAM! Something slam it hard, I pull up snap! I lost my last 2 Mosquito's both from a fish today. I couldn't tell if it was a big Gill maybe a bass I don't know all I saw was the top fin's couldn't make out the color tho. Ooo…
