Finally made it fishing!

[Ccrider]

Have not been fishing in over two years. Decided to go for a couple of hours this afternoon. No bass boat, no lures. Just a couple of reels and some red worms and crickets sitting on the bank. Had a ball.

With the help of my old friend, Jack, I should have these cleaned in about an hour.

Life is good!

Mmmm! Fried catfish for dinner!

 

[Rustytigwire]

Just right.
Life is good.

It's better to be fish'n than wish'n.

Gonna make some hush puppies to go with those?

 

[YEW PLUCKER]

Where were ya fishin'?

 

[Ccrider]

Man. Time flies when you are having fun.

 

[Ccrider]

Where were ya fishin'?

Local County Lake here in Alabama. Folks complaining fish were not biting. Nothing like home grown redworms.

Yep. And french fries.

 

[Ccrider]

My redworm stash. Been growing them for years even though I ain’t been fishing much. Just the way I was raised. Have to have worms and be ready to go fishing.

 

[Ccrider]

Well. Jack is done:

I am done for now and ready for a shower:



Mom and Sister would skin me if I didn’t put back for them and Dad would be frownin from Heaven. Man I miss him.

Thank God for a good day.

Most excellent! Missed the Crappie run at Taylorsville Lake due to weather and car repairs. Bass activity on the rise, so perhaps this week will I be free to try.
You must follow up with the Fish Fry results!

Got surgery Wednesday so was gonna hook the boat up today for the first time this year.
Fired up the tow vehicle Friday and took it for a ride, it stopped running and had to have it towed to the local shop.
Won’t be able to get in the boat for a month or so after surgery.
Oh well.....

You probably started out fishing from the bank just like I did. At the time, had no concern about biking in a boat. It’s still just as much fun. Something about going back to the simple things.

Will do.
Most of the crappie have moved back out here but, they don’t all spawn at the same time. You can still catch them shallow.
Also, they don’t stop eating after the run. They just move depler for the most part and suspend. They bite year around if you know where to fish for them.

Why is it that people fishing from the bank cast as far out as they can, and people fishing from a boat cast toward the bank?

Seems the fish are always somewhere that you aren't.

Had a darn good day out today too. For those wanting to try the spot it’s 16nm north of the longest wooden jetty in the Southern Hemisphere in the Indian Ocean.

Fried fish and squid very nice washed down with a beer

Nice!! What ? No love for lobsters?
Cubera snapper? Some kind of Drum fish? You guys have some different names for things!

A good old fish fry, gumbo or whatever is always very nice. Enjoy.
