<p>While browsing websites on fly fishing knots and I came across a 'Quick Grays Loop' for attaching a leader to a fly line, using a 'perfection loop' on the leader and doing a 'loop to loop'. It makes it easier to attach new leaders.</p>
<p>My question is; how effective is this and is it reliable?</p>

<p>Does anyone do any southeastern Warmouth fishing?</p>
<p>If so, where?</p>
<p>What is the best time of year to try for them?</p>
<p>What bait are you using?</p>
<p>Anyone catching them on the fly?</p>

<p>I thought it would be fun if we got a look into people's tackle boxes - what is in your wallet? (tackle box). Like BBG Cribs - if you are into it - post a shot of your tackle box.</p>
<p>(This goes along with my Spring tackle box cleaning exercise..)</p>
<p>I will take a shot of mine next week - post cleaning...</p>
<p>Maybe one shot of the overall tackle box and one of the "GO TO" section.</p>
<p>What is your GO TO stuff? Does this sound good?</p>

<p>I know for a fact that there are alot of farm ponds all over the country. If you want to fish these ponds, all you have to do is ask the farmer or land owner, the most the person can say is, no, I don't want anybody to fish. I have been told no by alot of people, but sometimes you will ask to fish, and the person will say, yeah go ahead or sure I don't care.</p>
<p>If you take care of the ponds you are aloud to fish, the potential of the fish will increase with the right amount of predators,…</p>

<p>If you take care of the ponds you are aloud to fish, the potential of the fish will increase with the right amount of predators, stocking, and habitat. I have a pond I am aloud to fish that no-one has fished in a long time, so the pond is full of fish, but no monster fish. I go out to this pond about once or twice a week now, and the fish seem to be increasing in size, not alot but just a little.</p>
<p>Farm ponds are truely a good private place to go fish, and be alone instead of trying to fight waves and boat traffic, like you do on a big lake or reservoir.</p>

I've tried to fly fish with a popper and adding a dropper wet fly to the popper. Problems are many! Where and how do you attach the the line to the popper so as to not "tangle" the two. How long of dropper line does everybody fine to be the appropriate lenght? Any information I could receive would be appreaciated!

<span class="font-size-3" style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Bluegill fans I have been working on a catch-and-release shore-fishing league for a couple of years. If you have never participated in a club/league-fishing event, I will be discussing making your own league, what you need, describing the event and sharing results from our club. In the discussion I can share some tips to making it run. </span>

Hello!<br/><br/>I'm new to the group and new to fishing in Georgia.<br/><br/>Like many fishermen out there, I grew up (in KY) fishing for bluegill, shellcracker, warmouth...etc. and I've never lost my fondness for the little slabs!<br/><br/>I've recently started fishing again and would be very interested in any information on where to catch Bluegill et. al. in the Atlanta vicinity (within 50 miles or so).<br/><br/>Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated!!<br/><br/>Jud<br/>

So the full moon is supposed to be what drives bluegill fishermen to the point of insanity knowing that spawning is about to begin and limits are about to be easily met within only a couple of hours out in the boat... but hey thats in the spring..... What about in the dead heat of August. Its over 100degrees and water temps are reaching 91 degrees. Chances of finding a fish on a bed this time of year is like winning the lottery. Its time to fish patterns and that means lots of practice when…
So the full moon is supposed to be what drives bluegill fishermen to the point of insanity knowing that spawning is about to begin and limits are about to be easily met within only a couple of hours out in the boat... but hey thats in the spring..... What about in the dead heat of August. Its over 100degrees and water temps are reaching 91 degrees. Chances of finding a fish on a bed this time of year is like winning the lottery. Its time to fish patterns and that means lots of practice when your fishing in creeks and rivers like we do around here. Ive patterend several groups of fish and found how they move what turns them on, depths they move to and structure they preffer but theres one thing I cant figure out. WHY DONT THEY BITE ON A FULL MOON! Talk about stressfull. My dad has seen these amazing catches that ive been making and decided to drive 4 hours and have a fishing trip with me remembering times when he fished the same creeks and rivers years ago and his hauls were half of mine on his best days. Of course its a full moon on this weekend that he came and our catch was still good to him but made me feel ignorant to the fact that this is the only times I cant catch the fish that I want. Anybody got any advice on full moon fishing when bedding season is over with?
