Jigwiggler's 2004 Fishing Pics

[Jigwiggler]

Well in an attempt to be a little more organized I am going to start posting all my pictures here.  I never used to carry a camera with me fishing and missed out on alot of great pics.  After frequenting this site and the Shanty I started carrying my camera to share some of my catches and fishing adventures.  Some pics are new, some are repeats, all are from this year after ice out.  Included will be pictures of myself, Muskyhunter (my father) and other friends.  Enjoy!!


My first open water catch of the season, an early spring brown from Seneca Lake NY.  30" close to 11 lbs.



Muskyhunter with a pair of nice pike and me with my brown

My kids and I after our first trip of the year with some nice Brookies



And the whopper of the day


Second trout trip with the kids brought more brookies and 2 golden rainbows







3rd trout outing, more brookies and a couple bonus fish    It was too dark for anything but a meat shot when we returned. 



Our next outing was in search of bullheads but, to our suprise the panfish were biting quite well.







On to Father's Day, spent the afternoon with Muskyhunter doing a little bass fishing.  We caught many fish and snapped a few pics of the 2 biggest

Myself with a hefty 22"er


and again



The next day it was musky fishing and Muskyhunter had to put it to me for catching the biggest bass on Father's Day.    41"  21 lbs



That's all for now, more pics to develope later in the week with some quality fish on them.  I'll post them then.  I gotta get a digital camera to speed this process up!!

Stay tuned, there is a lot of summer left!

dido for the nice fish i havent caught golden trout since i was akid jersy stoped stocking goldens for some reason the say thier prone to disieze and are dificult to raise but they were great trout made good eating i guess fish and game are suposed to know whats best right?

[Jigwiggler]

Thanks Guys!!

wny angler,

yes my kids really love to go fishing and I sure do enjoy taking them.   

Bayonne,

PA stills stocks a few, I really wish they wouldn't though.  They give away the location of the majority of the trout in a hole or run.  Makes it easier for everyone to see them.  My son thought they were pretty cool though. 

More pics on the way, boated a beauty this morning.

Matt,

Good to hear from you, hope all is well.  You had better find time to get yourself up here, the fishin' is good and the beer is cold (what more could you ask for).   As for them perch, we'll talk about that next time your up.

Check back later, I'll be posting some more recent pics.

LOL, he'll be glad to hear it.  We've been so busy lately it's even hard to find time to get your ears lowered.  

All the pics in the last set are from the last 2 weeks with the exception of the last bass pic which was from earlier in June when the water was still up.
