DEER SEASON NEARLY OVER LETS WET A HOOK

[rjenkins1981]

WHO IS READY TO DO SOME SERIOUS FISHING? I FOR ONE AM. THESE DEER HAVE WARN ME OUT SO ITS TIME TO JERK SOME FISH OUT OF THE WATER!!

[merrillcd_mem]

I second that... at least until Turkey season rolls around.

[gtk]

i plan on thinning the fish population on our pond this year,and try to get it back in balance...

[WGbuckfever]

Im ready to hit the water!

[rjenkins1981]

i have been trying to decide what new lures i am going to buy this year. what about you guys and gals?

[gtk]

bwm & went to wallyworld @ lunch.. they had moved all the deer hunting stuff, plus a lot of fishing/camping stuff, to the clearance isle..

As far a new stuff, I just stick to the old basics for me:

Rooster Tails for bream.
Buzzbait, spinnerbait, worm for bass
jigs for crappie
stink bait for cats..

YEAH I HEAR YA, JUST WANTING TO SEE IF FOLKS HAVE IT AS BAD AS I DO>

NEED TO GET UP TO BPS ASAP

[phesterbuck]

i got a used john boat and trailer from my dad last weekend , i traded 4new four weeler tires for it. ready to do some crappie fishing

[merrillcd_mem]

Spinnerbail, Worm/Lizards and the good ole rattle trap.

[nubbs]

Spinnerbaits & Gary Yamamoto's "Swim Senko" about the only two things I used last year and caught plenty.

[rjenkins1981]

I NEVER HAVE FISHED THE SINKO'S BEFORE.

[nubbs]

I had never heard of the "senko" until last year. I was fishing with a buddy who swore by it but yet I just kept on fishing with my spinnerbait until he had about 20 in the boat and I had about 2. I was hooked after that and used them alot last year. The only drawback to the "senko" is they are about $4 or $5 a pack and they're only good for about 2 fish each.

[rjenkins1981]

OUCH, I GUESS THEY DO BEST ON SPINNING TACKLE? TEXAS RIGGED?

[nubbs]

Texas rig without a weight. You can pretty much fish it anywhere timber, grass, etc. very easy to fish. Just be sure and let the fish take it a bit before you set the hook.

[rjenkins1981]

10-4 FISH IT LIKE A FLUKE THEN. THAT IS FUN, ESPECIALLY WHEN THE FISH ARE AGGRESSIVE.

[nubbs]

Yeah just like a Fluke.....Lots of fun!

[rjenkins1981]

I KNOW THIS IS A CALIFORNIA THING, BUT HAS ANYONE TRIED THOSE BIG SWIM BAITS AROUND HERE?

[merrillcd_mem]

I KNOW THIS IS A CALIFORNIA THING, BUT HAS ANYONE TRIED THOSE BIG SWIM BAITS AROUND HERE?

My dad is mainly a bass fisherman. I think he uses those.. He uses all kinds of things I just snicker at.. He catches a lot of big fish though.. Plastic frogs and rats to me are the funniest.

[rjenkins1981]

I NEVER HAVE USED FROGS AND RATS MUCH.. HARDLY EVER. I THINK SOME THINGS NOW DAYS CATCH TEH FISHERMAN AND NOT FISH.

[ufgators68]

I've got coyotes and beavers to kill, no time for fishing.

[ufgators68]

I KNOW THIS IS A CALIFORNIA THING, BUT HAS ANYONE TRIED THOSE BIG SWIM BAITS AROUND HERE?

I've used the mice and had decent success with them but only in grass and weeds. The mice were like 2" long with a 2.5" tail.

[rjenkins1981]

MAN I HEAR YA. I HAVE NOT SEEN TOO MANY OF THOSE THIS YEAR IN MONROE COUNTY. U MUST BE DOING A GOOD JOB TAKING THEM OUT.

[nubbs]

I haven't heard much about the swim baits except for the guys using them in CA but I don't see any reason they wouldn't work here.

[mikybigbuck]

i love to troll for crappie...i'm not sure how the new regs at the resevoirs are going to hurt the creel...i would go to tunica cutoff, but i'm afraid of getting hit in the head by one of those 20 lb carp

[rjenkins1981]

I HAVE NOT BEEN TO ANY OF THE RESERVOIRS IN YEARS. MAINLY BC OF ALL THE NORTHENERS THAT COME DOWN AND CATCH ALL THE CRAPPIE.
