Hey Howard...indeed tip-up fishing is both permitted and popular at DCL...most of the bigger northerns this year were tip-up fish, with top specimens going 14 to almost 20 lbs. Annually, walleyes to 10 lbs and chain pickerel to 24 in are taken. We have taken gills up to 11 1/2 in. It's quite a lake, but you have to work to catch the fish, like any place else, there is a learning curve.
i remember the second book it is a book called Fishing. on the side it sais "A Golden Guide From St Martins Press". do you have any of thoes books that say that on the side?
i have 2 fish books. i think it was made by goldenbook or something like that. i try to get fresh water ones. i only have (title) Fishes, (not fish) and i think the other one is flys. im not shure bu i got to get off now so if you could say something that would be nice.
That was a blast. Thanks a ton Howard for filling me in on your boy. Give him a big HUUUUAAAAA!!! for me. God bless him and your family! You are good people!!
The St. Johns river originates in west Vero bch FL and runs North to Jacksonville FL and then out into the ocean. It is the only river in FL that flows North. It's a pretty good Bluegill fishery as well as Bass.
when you write or talk to him, ask him about victory tower or tank hill. Rennaisance Man was filmed there with Danny Devito back in my time. God bless him and tell him Huuaa! from me!
Hey Howard, I fished alot of places including Malletts Bay, The Gut, Plattsburg area, and North Hero area (on Alburg Passage). Lake cottage we stayed in was in North Hero (on Alburg Passage).
Hey Howard, Thanks for all the great tips!!! Had a real blast fishing Champlain--caught some awesome fish of all different species!!! Hope you can check out the photos on my page--I can't wait to get back there and fish it some more!!!
Hey Howard, Thanks for the offer, I really appreciate it!!! I'm really lookin forward to the trip and can't wait to get some fishin in "On the BIG Water!!!!"
Hey Howard, Thanks for the comment on my Hybrid!!! I also caught mine about 30 minutes before dusk....I'm with you in that they seem to hit better at that time of day!!! My wife and I are headin up to Lake Champlain on 6/19/09 for a long awaited Honeymoon (I don't know which area except that it's on Vermont side, but I hope that I can get into some nice Sunfish there)!!! Tight Lines!!!
Hey Howard....good for you and your wife! I am glad that the shiner rig worked for you. Looks like that bass took it really deep...with circle hooks, all you need to do is just tighten up and reel in the fish. We haven't killd a fish in several seasons of shiner fishing like this. Congrats!
Hey Howard, try using a lightweight steel leader or else some green Sonic Braid in 30 to 40 lb test for a nice , tough, yet supple leader for those pike. I would use a Mutu Light Circle hook at 4/0 to 6/0, depending on the size of your pike. Run a slip bobber so the shiner can move around from 3 to 7 ft deep. Hook the shiner through both eyes or lightly behind the top dorsal fin. Check out our rigs for bait on big largemouths in this months ( June) In Fisherman. The Rawlings shiner rig may be your best option for those pike. Good luck!
