I got out in the open water for the first time this year...looking for some slab crappies
My first cast landed in a tree so we were off to a good start
(https://www.myfishfinder.com/fishing_forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi2.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fy28%2Ficejunky%2FMisc%2FDSCN2723.jpg&hash=d6138c2e239088fbcd23cfa51cd5f321)
Cast #2 was a bit better as I hooked into a 4lb Pike.
He was a great fight on my BPS Crappie rod and 4lb crappie hi-vis line. I snapped a pic during the fight as I was sure I was not goign to land him

But I did, a quick plier release...gotta love those lil'squirt crappie tubes, they catch everything

The water was a bit cold still, no crappies to be seen, and that was the only bite I had in a little over two hours of fishing...but it felt great to get out with still snow on the banks

Way to go bassjunky.
That's a nice pike and a good to start your 2008 open water season. 8)
It would have been a good fight on a lite action rod and line.

Well after my initial outing the fishi seemed to dissapear, until today that is...I had a great outing, had a hard time trying to keep my jog away from the largemouths, but still managed a small collection of crappies
The bass had moved into my crappie hole, and if it was open season or a tournament I would have had a great day. I sanpped a few pics of some of the largies, a couple over 3lbs and a few in the high two's, I tried to keep them all in the water but a couple I need the pliers on so I took the chance to snap a pic or two
here are the two bigger fish

When I finally got into some crappies they were a decent size, one 12incher a pair of 10's and an 8incher

Nice Ice Junkey!!! I'm itching to get out soon....
-
Nice to see someone is getting out...still ice on the lakes here but its VERY unsafe
-
thanx guys, with all this great weather I decided to make another run at the crappies again this morning. They are still not in huge schools, but with persistance you can get a nice little snack
I managed 8 crappies today, a broke out the portable live well, these actually work pretty good, for shore line fishing

Nice fish! What style of jigs are you using for the crappie?
-
for the most part I use crappie tubes, the BPS brand lil squirts. I also use yum wooly crappie tubes.

Another day on the water, and another dozen or so crappies.

I got a few more in hours in today, the crappies have seemed to move out as the bite was off. I was chasing off Bass all morning, I did hook into this big boy, gave me a nice fight on my UL gear...

PLEASE STOP!!!! I CANT TAKE IT ANYMORE.....AAAAARGH.....lol, nice one Bassjunky, loving the reports but they are killing me too cuz its all unsafe ice up here still, coming up to 2 weeks since i wetted a line with no end in the drought for at least another week, friggin 15cms of snow tonite and minus temps till Tuesday :'(. Those are awesome pictures by the way....i love the one of the sneaky hiding Bass....class!
-
Nice pictures bassjunky, keep them coming. :)
The bass under the slop is a unique shot, nice.
I see in your one photo that a few folks have wrapped their lines land lures around the powerlines behind you, I hope that wasn't you. :w00t:

Nice pics man. You gotta love the spring panfish bite!

Hey WaterWolf, I wish I could say I have not contributed to that pile of line and lures, but there are a few of mine up there

Well, I got out crappie fishing in another area this past weekend, it was the Trout and Crappier season opener in my home town, so I headed back and grabed ChowderHead as well as my Father-In -Law and we hit the water for the opener
The Crappies were not as friendly as they have been to me the rest of the week, but I did get a surprise as I hooked into a lenghty and fat walleye, as walleye season is not open I only got a "in the water" shot, I dont like to take out of water shots unless the fish is hooked well and I have to take them out of the water anyways
(https://www.myfishfinder.com/fishing_forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi2.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fy28%2Ficejunky%2FChemong%2FWalleye-4lb.jpg&hash=73e1057d03a30360a32c657980e43bb0)
Surprise #2 came to CHowderHead, he was throwing UL gear for crappie and gills, and hooked into somthing that made his drag scream, since he as using 1lb line it was a while before we got to see this guy, but it was a nice little carp....a team effort, he faught the fish but I got to land it
here is chowder in battle

It was funny as we were talkign earlierthat we needed to arrange a carp outing this year as both of us have never caught one...well he is one up on me now
Surprise #3 and #4 were two more walleyes, I have been fishing this area for around 5 years and have never seen a walleye, then I land 3 all in one outing, made my mouth water,

And although the bite was not hot we still ended up with a nice little pile of crappies and a great day on the water

Got out today on the Bay od Quinte for the Walleye and PIke opener, usually this is like taking your life in your hadns as there are about 5000, fisherman and drunks all on the water for the big tourny...we found a quiet launch and got out wihtout a problem
We had some early success landing two Walleye, one a 5.10lb fish, the other just over 3lb's....after that the rain and winds came and things started to quiet down on the bite

I wish i couls say the big guy was mine, but no such luck, my buddy Dustin landed him, but being a good net boy I got to hold him up in the photo
-
Very nice junky!
-
a good day
-
nice walleye
hey its hard to land the big one without a good net man ;)
-
Well my buddy Chowderhead may have been one step ahead of me, but I managed my first carp today, but with noone around I could only manage a few ground shots...I caught him on a pink and white crappie tube, it was the second longest fight I have ever had, i was using ul gear and he ran everytime I got him close to the shore line...alot of fun, I need to start targeting these some time

Nice walleye and carp bassjunky. :)
Man, those little tubes are really hot lures, lots of fish species really seem to like them.
That's the first time I have see a carp caught on a tube jig.
WW
-
yep it is the ultimate catch-em-all....here is a species list so far that I have caught on these tubes
1) Crappie
2) Perch
3) Gills/Sunfish
4) Bass (Small and Largemouth)
5) Walleye (6lber last year caught on one
6) Pike
7) Carp

On my last day of freedom befor heading back to work I got out for one more afternoon of shoreline fishing. Hooked into two more carp today but lost them, they were huge and i had no way of getting them on shore anyways...it was a nice fight
I did hook in another nice largie, it seems they have moved back in with the warmer weather, no crappies though

real nice pics bassjunky, it sure beats a day at work.

another day along the shoreline, fishing has slowed since the rain and colder temps moved in...I still managed a few fish
I added another species to my pink and white tube jig...a rockbass

I also had a little rescue mission, as I hooked into a sunken branch and noticed that somone had stung up a little mudcat to it and it must have pulled awy so the branch was submerged and the fish was tied to it, I was able to pull in it and cut the little guys free

It has been crazy windy here the past few days and finding a nice place to fish has been hard, but a i made a short hike to a local conservation area and found a little wind break, the fishing was slow, i managed a ton of dink perch and one surprise largemouth

i used to carry a 10ft. piece of PVC with 2 eye hooks on it with me on a lake by me that has power lines on it. i would go early spring and get the lures i wanted, and leave the rest. i bet i've taken a dozen rapalas off those lines, plus every lure you could imagine. ;D

broke out the new carrot stix and stratus, first cast and wack...this nice 3.5lb came up out from under a log....like a true rookie I had not set the drag yet on this new reel so there were a few tense moments befor things were under control..he had some nice dance moves and was more then willing to give us a show...but he did attract attention...why do guys in boats feel they can move in on us canoe fishing like we dont belong there...

I just got back from my annual end of August fishing trip, a great nine days on the water...this year was a bit slower then usual, as a formally private spot has become public knowledge...but I still managed some good fish.
Day 1, was the best day for quantity as I managed well over twenty fish and these beauts were the highlight

Day 6 - Was a float tube day so no camera with me, caught a lot of small or and tiny smallmouths, but a great time with the fly rod.
Day 7 - A trip to a new lake called Jordan, recomended by a firend, another small lake but we managed a few
fish. Wind conditions were tough in a canoe so we had to stay away from a few spots that looked amazing. Lost a few nice topwater fish in the weeds but all in all it was nice to see a new body of water
Day 8 - Broke out the crank baits and got into some smallmouths

Well the week went by fast, and now its back to work...i find it funny that I lake I have been fishing solo for 6 years is all of a sudden a hot spot, it has a hard to see canoe only enterance in 6 years I have had it to myself and last week I watched as canoe after canoe piled in, and at sometimes there were four or more trucks parked at the enterance...my pet peeve is most of them are guys who are dragging stringer or coolers of fish out of the lake, as I mentioned it is a small lake and Im afraid it will soon be a dead lake if this keeps up.

WOW beautiful bass...my end f august bass trip was a flop, high winds and a lot of things gone wrong. Gotta hate when ppl find out about a secret hole and the whole town shows up the next day...happend to me wit a nice pond for brookies, used to get limits of great fish and u had to bush whack to get to it...now there is a cut trail in there and you couldnt catch a brookie in there if you spent the week

I got out on the Bay of Quinte with a Buddy this wednesday, we started out at 6am wich turned out to be a mistake as we only landed one fish prior to noon...once we found a pattern we got into some good fish, we only took pics of those over 3lb's so here they are
as you can tell it was a cool day...this is the mornings only fish
