Nice looking bows and browns Pikemaster.

I like the photos of the panfish. It's always neat to see fish in there natural environment.
Man, the panfish males really differ from females in color eh.

definitely, they are very entertaining to watch, guarding the nest and flaring gills. There is a big color difference between sex especially in sunfish and bluegills

Ive thought about it before, but didnt have the right aerator to keep them healthy. There is a bullhead that just started a nest under our dock and should have nice eggs by next weekend, maybe ill snatcha  few. I did that one year but I think they got to warm before they got settled.

Well I have some more pics I have to upload but here are the first few from my week long vacation. I didnt take a ton of pics but there was a lot of nice fish caught. A few 18" LM bass. A couple of nice smallmouth. Monster gills and the panfish were on fire. I really hit the pike the day we had a cold front come through.


firstly we tried out a new 10 acre lake that very few people fish. We found out it has a lot small forage fish, great pike. and many big turtles. The reason it needed exploring was the DNR planted 30,000 walleye this year in this only 10 acre lake. So in 3 or 4 years ill be back for sure with the jigs. We caught a few fish and then fished the near by trout stream with limited sucess and one keeper brown.

a 24" from the new lake



here is one of the pike from the coldfront day. A nice 30.5"
un hooking the beast



little pike

29" carp


trout harvest biggest was 12.25"

I caught a couple of nice big brown with stunning colors on them



and a snake feasting on a bullhead

nice pike pm wheres the bass?? u catch alot pike on those stickbaits?

absolutely, that is one of my favorite lures, and a rapala HJ-10 firetiger. you can burn it in or work it slow. it only goes to about 8 feet. I like like to jerk it in. I also use a #5 black fury mepps with a bucktail. Those are my two go to lures for pike.

the bass are a funny story. I fish below a small d**n probably 40 feet. and there is a small trail to the top of the hill and the top of the dam. I ran up the hill to fish the other side and nailed a nice lm bass probable 18". I went back down the hill grabbed my camera and went back. nothing. then went back down. Later I came back up without the camera and nailed another big bass. Went down got the camera came back. nothing. Went down again and later said im coming with the camera. I bring it and get a nice smallmouth. There is a big sea wall I have to lift the fish over and as I was doing that the smallmout fell off and no picture. so I made about 6 trips up and down this steep hill and it was roughly 95 degrees below the dam.

A couple of night later I nailed another 18" lm on my way back to the cottage but my dad didnt feel like taking a pic and it was getting dark. No big deal. Ill get you a bass pic next time im out and about.

That was a good week of fishing with a good variety of fish to angle for.
Man, that's a very colorful browntrout, I don't think I have ever seen one with that big of red spots on it.  Good looking pike and carp to.

Good shot of you removing the hook from the pike, man you have to be carfull with those toothy guys, one slip and your cut.

I to like to use a firetiger huskyjerk, actually firetiger is a good color in general.

The snake shot is unique one. It has quite a mouthfull with that bullhead.
