John - I am sending this to you this way because I found that my e-mail function on my profile was turned off. I did not weigh that last big brim I added but it came from the St. Marks National Wildlife Preserve south of Tallahassee on the coast. I am going to add some more pictures of brim I have caught there soon. It is a fairly wild place and I have encountered wild boar, deer,huge diamondback rattlers(I have a pic I took of an 8 footer) and even jaguarundi there and of course they have about 5000 gators and a lot of black bear there so you kinda have to watch your step.The little mean bluegill who attacked my ultra-lite rapala type lure came from a state park lake which is about 5 minutes from my house. It is also a very deep spring-fed lake and holds some monsters I am told although I don't have a boat right now so I am forced to fish off the dock. At the gate, they have pictures of giant bass to 14lbs. or so caught out of the lake but no pics of what we like to catch. There is also another lake in that state park that was acquired by the state about 15 years ago and they haven't allowed fishing there since they bought it - I bet there are some huge fish in there.
Hey John...I would have to get 'schooled' on how to utilize the map it procedures on computer. I am still just a child in this stuff. Any hints or suggestions would help....Jim
Hi John thanks for the nickname! ha! Everyone always call me critter-chick ha! or Bass-Mistress ha! go figure....
Im jealous dude! you have a great page, hope I can measure up to you all!
That one big largemouth you commented on was 13 lbs. or so and caught on a plastic worm on fairly light spinning gear(by today's standards) in the St. Johns river in North Florida. I have a friend who actually caught a 16 lb. 9oz. bass he also caught in North Florida in a farm pond.
That trout I caught on the fly rod was not a steelhead but actually a Kamloops rainbow trout imported from British Columbia as a fingerling. It actually ran off all my fly line and got into my backing pretty well before I could get control.
Hey,
Usually I get channel cats, especially when using spoons. This is the time to knock the crap out of them. Salmon fishing is starting to heat up around here. Carley and I will be putting the hurts to em' pretty soon. It gets wild and crazy out on Lake Michigan!
Small world. I graduated from Wayne Valley in '96, but was a Geoege Washington JHS graduate. I also wento to William Paterson for graduate school and now teach in Paterson. I learned to fish at Packanack Lake but don't do any fishing in Passaic County anymore.
Hey, I grew up in Passaic County (Wayne) but live in Morristown now, and mostly fish ponds around here. I get to Lk. Hopatcong when I can, but The 'Pack is my favorite place.
Went out tonight by myself. Carley took a trip to Ohio so my partner was gone. Should've took the camera. I managed around 15 gills in the 8 inch class,which is really good in Spring Lake. My teardrop and crawler chunk did the trick. I used the bluefox spoons, and have more luck on catfish and white bass than bluegill. Maybe I'm fishin it wrong?? Anyway,that's my story and I'm sticking to it.
John, that is a great looking area. I hadn't realized how hilly the terrain is out that way. The site said it was was stocked with trout,landlocked salmon,bass and perch. We don't have much for pickerel out this way. More pike and musky. Although it looks as if you caught some fairly good sized ones in your album. I haven't fished as much lately. I lost my job and times are a little tight.
Thanks for the hoppers comment! I found the pattern online, just google "fishy's hopper"! They are super easy to tie and they catch gills like no other!
