my dad and i use to fish the dam by lac qui parle alot for cats when i was younger. we did go down there last year, and i fished in the slack water right below the dam and got a whole bunch of em. none were very big. but on the UL, those 1lbers were a blast.

i know the mississippi river spillway by brownsvillehas alot of them. my pb came out of there when we were down there turkey hunting. it was to cold to hunt so i went and fished for a bit. lol

im gonna have to take you up on that offer when i get my license! any chance of catching some buffs too? lol

I'm sure there is, seen a lot of them yanked out of the waters around here...only problem is I don't know how to target the buffalo.

i know how to target them. my only problem is finding them lol

i am really worried about this next fish... she would not give up fighting. and she had like NO strength when i released her. i cradled her for the longest time, then when she started to swim i let her go. i have had bowfin fight to the death before (litterally) im just hoping she didnt do the same.

i also took my girlfriend out shiner fishing. size 18 hooks and eurolarvea slowly drifted in slow current in a boat tunnel. man we ha a blast! we got over 100 shiners, golden, common, and spot tail (i never caught a spot tail before) we filled a big rubber maid container with water, and filled it with shiners!

quite a few of the golden shiners pushed past the 6" mark! definately some of the biggest goldies i have caught

the big girl from yesterday didnt make it. i found her on the shoreline with an arrow hole in her. =(

i found her boyfriend further up stream cruising a shallow mud flat.

nice fin from today. i was pitching a small white bucktail jig (1/32oz) for feeding carp. sorry about the poor quality of the pics. they are video stills. i couldnt take actual pics cuz my camera died. i did go back up and get new batteries and i grabbed my shiners. but never got another fin

also tried one macro photo of a sucker. definately not the best. but i liked how it turned out, especially for the first try

also was able to sneak up to a nice little sucker resting in a really shallow area where the current breaks and it becomes pretty calm. i was able to get really close, he was blind in his right eye, so i was able to snap a few photos before i got to close and he spooked
