Dick,

Went out mid-morning with the ultralight and a beetlespin...caught 6 but not much size.  They have moved off the beds down here and headed for deeper water.  I did catch a couple of nice bass, maybe a pound each or so...fun none the less.  Raining cats and dogs at the moment, wonder if it's ever going to end?

Hi Dick, and thanks for the welcome to BB...I'm from Van Wert, OH not to far from you, but lots less water. I do a lot of farm pond fishing and most all with a fly rod if I can help it.
Looking forward to being on the site.

Hi Dick,

I live in Rochester Hills Michigan and have heard about the Irish Hills but never fished there. I recently bought a folding boat that fits on my car roof so I'm pretty mobile and always looking for a better place to fish.

I've been fishing the Walpole Island Indian Reservation for many years but the younger members of the tribe are not as friendly as their elders so, like I said, I'm looking to find calmer waters.

Dick,

 Best of luck at Bankers lake!

Fishing with the fly rod is really enjoyable. Its a lot of fun to make that "perfect cast" and to catch a nice size panfish on a light wt. fly rod.

Hi Dick, Welcome and enjoy the site.  I don't get out fishing much anymore, but I go when my schedule allows it.  I like to catch big bluegills, but I am a big perch fisherman at heart!  I live in S.E. mi.  I do winter and summer fishing on the lakes near my home.  I live near Devils Lake, Mi.

Hello Dick,

 Nice to see another Buckeye on this site !

Have you got into any bluegill this spring ?

 I have not ...unfortunately, But I have drifted the shore line of lake Erie and caught some nice Smallmouth Bass, using my fly rod and tube jigs..

Thanks for the welcome. I'm looking forward to learning about new hot spots and techniques.

Hello Dick, nice to be meet up with a fellow buckeye. have you been out any in between the rain. i put 85 in the freezer a little over a week ago. fished about 3 hrs in between rain storms

 

I caught the mess in late spring last year and the big 'gills in mid july. i fish in the chain 'o' lakes in northern MI mostly. Just getting ready to hit the money spot again this spring.

Michael I guess we are distant nieghbors. I do live on the outskirts of Swanton I'm in the country. Glad you like to fish keep up the good work its truely a good hobby to be caught up in.

I have a 3/4 acre pond. The grandkids fish in it I prefer inland lakes. My pond is stocked with catfish, hybred bluegills, largemouth bass. I put in 6 hybred stripper in it to see what they would do. I put in about 12 crappies 12 sunfish and 2 perch. The grandkids enjoy it as do a few kids in the area.

A big warm "Big Bluegill" welcome to dick tabbert! Thanks for joining.
