Rodbenders Anonymous

Anybody else got some ideas???

[honky kong]

i like rodbenders anonymous. or even just rodbenders. whatever is cool though. i'm more concerned with finding some big flatties. caught a little 9 lber last night. nothing special but at least got the first flat out of the way.

[Ralph Wiggum]

I like Rodbenders Anonymous. I'll see if I can come up with anymore ideas.

[honky kong]

or maybe the "drag rippers"....just throwin one out there.

[Flaco651]

Rodbenders Anonymous sounds good to me. Can't wait for this to get started. I have caught numerous Channels this spring and hoping to get a Flathead soon. Hopefully I will have the boat up and ready later this week. I had planned on getting after flats this past weekend but Moore's had just closed and my closest bullhead spot wasn't producing.

[DTro]

Sounds like Rodbenders Anonymous it is.

[Riverhog]

Sorry for the delayed response. Rodbenders or Rodbenders Anonymous sound like a good name for the team. Can't wait to get started.

[honky kong]

gonna go try my luck tonight. my buddies caught the 40 and 42 lb flats rushing mentioned last night, i'd like my luck to pan out tonight for some good fishin. any early spring flattys for you boys yet?

[Ralph Wiggum]

Haven't been able to get out much lately . House hunting has been taking up too much time, but it looks like we are done with that, so I should have some time to get after them.

Good luck, team!!!

[honky kong]

well team it's sad to think at 7:30 last night i caught a 34 lb flatty and the control item came out a hour and fifteen minutes later. no points for us yet. and i'm leaving for vegas in an hour so i can't fish again til next wednesday. go get em this weekend.

[DTro]

there's a whole summer to top that one Honky.

No matter what time I posted it, it wasn't valid until Fri anyways.

The Karma will play out when you are in Vegas....bet big!

[honky kong]

it's fine. it is my personal best so i am still excited. we just weren't sure what was up with the start date. either way i hope to top it again. those buggers were biting like mad last night. we landed 154 lbs of flatheads last night. top 4 flats were 34, 26, 25, and 16 lbs. let's do this!

[Ralph Wiggum]

Dude,

I've got to make a point to come and fish with you!!!

[PierBridge]

Nice Job HK....I'm hoping to join the 30-lb club soon.

Ralph is real busy these days so he'll have to take a rain check...

[Papa Grump]

I hope to sneak out a little bit Sunday. Dad did some major damage to some farm equipment today that requires my full attention for the weekend. Good luck !!!

I'm looking to pull an all nighter tommorrow(sat.)I have plenty of frozen shad and some bullies. So I should be on the board with atleast a channel.

[Flaco651]

Well, I got out Saturday and had 1 short lived clicker run on cut shad. So no channels on the board yet. I did manage to get 2 small Flatheads on bullheads though. They were close in size. The bigger of the two was 24x15 and 6 pounds 11 oz. They were caught out of the Mississippi. Riverhog also had a run on a bullie but when he set the hook, the point of the hook was turned back into the body of the bullhead and didn't hook up.

Riverhog did manage to get a couple channels earlier in the evening while we were on the MN river. Not much size to any of the fish we caught, but its a start.

[honky kong]

there are some good spots to hit down this way. don't tell anyone . try to get down here at least for the kato gathering. if not some other free time too. i work weekends so weeknights are the nights i hit the river. maybe something will work out and we can get out together. i'll have the pics from last weeks success up tomorrow i hope.

[Flaco651]

Toward the end of the month I will also be down in your area doing some camping in St. Peter. I camped there last July and liked that stretch of river. It was extremely hot and the water was low but it was still a good time. I think Papa Grump even cruised by in the Pro one of the days I was there.

[Ralph Wiggum]

I plan on getting out this evening for a while, so I will hopefully get onboard!

[honky kong]

going out tonight too. still no pics from last week.

[Papa Grump]

here is the nice little flatty I got last night just as the rain started falling. 37"x 21", 20.5 lbs caught on cut bait. Thanks to the enemies ( Harvey Lee and Dtro) for giving up some bait to me or else

[Ralph Wiggum]

Good job, PG! I got blanked tonight . A few bites, but nothing solid enough to sink a hook into.
