Spring Ramblings and Reports

[Thunderman]

Fished in the canal today with AW ended up with a couple dozen slob perch wind was cold and the fish were cooperative when you found them.Some of the females were spawned out the water temp is about the right temp for that with in a week they will probably be done.

I met k13 out there today it was nice meeting you Cory I am sure we will be talking again sometime .

[CNY Lee]

Todd, AW and Dark email me at my gobble account. I got the word on a Really hot bite and going to be making the run Friday after work.

[Dark Cloud]

I got out of work early today and Tank and I put a beatin on a bunch of trout...

Heres some video we took with my digital...

[Thunderman]

Well done guys I love watching catch and release no matter if its trout,walleyes,perch ETC.It is nice to give back to our fisheries to live another day I wished more people did it Good job guys .

[CNY Tim]

I can't get the video at work. I'll check it out when I get home...

[iceman1603]

Yes, its real nice to see the that those fish will live to fight another day. Its nice to eat a few here and their but we all need to do our part to secure the resources we have for the future.

Job well done!!

Im happy to report that my 3 yr old daughter completed her first catch and release of a small brown trout last weekend. She is coming along nicely.

Tough day on teh water of Johnson Bay. Not amny perch that wanted to eat out of some pretty good schools that went by. We caught a few spawned out females and only one that still had eggs. We fished Big Bay too and zilch. Ended up with 8 keepers and caught and relesed more smallmouth than anything els, . Todd caught a nd released ane eye and we caught some nice sized toothies. Can't believe we missed Water temp was 47 degrees for the most part. We had a couple of big perch pods move under us from time to time but eating wasn't on there mind, It was worth checking anyway. I took a few pics below.. thanks for the invite Todd, had some fun..

This was a nice perch, dang camera...

[Thunderman]

Tim, you need a new camera you loose too many pics with that one .

Heading out today to try some luck for some crappies and pannies this warm weather should be working nicely for them .

[Dark Cloud]

Tim, you need a new camera you loose too many pics with that one .

I believe the culprit is "user error"

DC and Tank some real nice trout over the last several days. Tim looks like you and Thunder had a nice day, too bad the fish weren't a little more cooperative. I've fished Johnson Bay several times in the spring and never really hit it at the right time for perch. Pretty much similar to the day you had with some perch, a number of smallies and a couple of lawn darts. Speaking of smallies, I don't know if it is me or not, but it seems like you always have one big [PoorWordUsage] smallmouth in your pictures. Also noticed that when your on the ice with your LX5 you wear a Marcum hat and when your in Todd's boat you wear a Lund hat. What kind of hat do you wear when you're at the diner in Richfield ?

[CNY Tim]

With such a wide selection of hats Dave you never know what I'll be wearing but I can guarantee that I will be wearing one. The smallmouths we caught were a blast but what is one to do when you have perch all over and they just won't hit, keep fishing I guess.

Todd - New camera is on my list, pretty sad when you take like 10 pictures and only 3 come out... Good luck today

[Thunderman]

Dave, Tim is not allowed in my boat unless he has that hat on and a spittoon. I think he had the R U N S yesterday I don't mind worm guts,dead minnows but no $ H I T S T A I N S .

[Pman]

Thunder thats a good policy to have when you dealing with Timmy . Looked like you had a dandy of a yellow in that picture didn't realize that Timmy's camera was responsible for the poor quality photo. I just assumed that Timmy was handling one of those pre-spawn males and he jizzed all over the lens .

[CNY Tim]

Good luck today guys, on my way to the land of the Red Sox ...

[CNY Lee]

Nice pictures guys but all I can say is you should have done what I told you guys to do. I'm going back for round 2 tonight and let me tell you we put a pounding on them on round 1....

[Dark Cloud]

Nice job Lee - i'd love to be closer, cant be everywhere

Tank and I put a beatin on some PA trout this morning before I had to be at work. Today was the opener of trout south of the border. I forgot the camera til we were done catching but took this pict of Tank relaxing and looking svelte(thats the 100 dollar word for the day)...

[CNY Tim]
