Nice Bowfin Bud! I got a ton of pictures but their not Digital.I like Bass fishing in small weed choked ponds that are tucked out of the way.Everyone passes them by or thinks their no good or too tough to fish.I use only artificials and take a picture and release them.I'll see if I can copy a few pictures and put them on.Hey Pickerel are a blast too! Flatband

cool ... i dont really like fishing in weedy areas get snagged up too often ...

ha ha ... what the ave weight of your fishes caught ?

Flatband · Joined: 09 Aug 2006 Posts: 491 Location: New Jersey

The 2 best Bass I got were both 7 lbs.Got one on a jig and pig and the other on a crankbait.The average size up here is 1-2 lbs.Got a few nice Pickerel also.I guess the biggest was around 28-30"s and maybe 5lbs.I think I got him on a big yellow spinnerbait. I also like surf fishing.I plan to start going pretty soon.I live a couple blocks from the beach and when the big blues and stripers come in,it sometimes gets crazy.Nothing like a big blue crashing your top water lure!

wow .. cool ... here surf fishing with a lure is impossible there are not many fishes except for the occational barramundi ... i prefer freshwater fishing though ...

Theres a reason michigan is called the great lakes state :3 my thing is the perch and blue gill theyre huge up here, just this summer me and my rents went to the lake and were killing the bluegill, my dad caught a 23 inch bass, and i caught a 17 inch perch! we were fishing all summer and usually bring in 20 or 30 panfish home every time we went, now that i have a digital camera next year im taking pictures, the perch is the tastiest, but theyre harder to find on the lake but when we do theyre usually pretty good sized! we always cook em up, theres nothing better tasting than food you caught tourself!

Hey Mikey,I heard that about Perch from a ton of fishermen.They say they and Walleye are the best.I wouldn't know.I catch em,take a picture if their decent, and throw em back! Flatband

slingmikey · Joined: 23 Oct 2007 Posts: 16 Location: westland, mi

walleye are ok, but theyre really fishy so are bass crappie and rockbass, we usually just get the blugills, the hybrid bluegills, and the perch they have almost a sweet taste to em, catfish are really good too if you really want to take the time to clean em, but we usually just throw em back, we always eat everything we keep so we generally dont take any pics, maybe next season, one of these days i would like to try ocean fishing, sounds fun and tasty

O .......... Do you have bag limits 4 the fishes you catch ???? I heard from my cousin that you have to a license before you can fish is that true ??? well in singapore most of our waters are over fished kinda sad ....

slingmikey · Joined: 23 Oct 2007 Posts: 16 Location: westland, mi

well there are size limits to most fish, bass have to be at least 12 inches to keep, blue gill are limited to twenty or thirty a person i cant member, but you have to get a fishing license, we usually dont keep bluegill unless theyre at least as big or bigger than the width of our hand, and we only keep the perch if theyre at least 10 or 12 inches long and i actually think they might have just increased the size limit for bass from twelve to 14 inches too

fishingjojoman · Joined: 01 Oct 2007 Posts: 273

O .... if only my country hand bag limits

Then fishing would be so much better ...

But is it easy to catch a fish that is bigger than the size limit ???

slingmikey · Joined: 23 Oct 2007 Posts: 16 Location: westland, mi

I like to do a bit of fishing also. I like to go for species rather then the heaviest. In the UK there's this whole carp scene going on. I went Piking yesterday and caught four good size pike on a lure yesterday, but forgot my camera.

Some of my latest catches:

A larger chub from my local river: (Caught on bread)

A larger Perch from my local canal: (Caught on a small shad)

A little Jack Pike: (Lure) Actually the first Pike I ever caught.

Hey Wildman !!!! Yea i do eat the fishes i catch but i realease fishes that are too small ... What about you ??? Mind sharing how you cook your fishes ??? Jo

Wildman · Joined: 08 Aug 2006 Posts: 200

jojoman, I fillet most of my catch then roll the fillets in a beaten egg and milk then I roll the fillets in flour and deep fry. What country are you from? What do you hunt with your catapult?
Take Care
Wildman

Sneaky · Posted: Wed Feb 27, 2008 9:54 pm Post subject: Eating

Wildman, I can't see your pic. We aren't actually aloud to eat our catches here unless it's our own land/ the sea. It's a bit of a joke actually. We have actually began to put up signs in fisheries to stop the Polish immigrants taking out large carp to eat.

Very cool Jojo, rapala floating minnows are one of my favorite baits along side an AC Shiner. I have heard of the peacock bass but never paid them much mind. I hear they get very big.

Yup just like most fishes they do get big given time ... But they do grow quite slowly .... So what kind of fishes do you go after ??? Jo

Catapult Kid · Posted: Mon Mar 10, 2008 6:08 pm Post subject:

I go after bass, catfish and bluegill mostly. If the weather clears up i'm supposed to go after trout with a guy, will be my first time for them. I love to catch bass and catfish though.

Peacocks Wow! That must have given you some fight Jo! We don't have them around here. I've heard of guys spending big bucks for trips to South America to go for them. You're lucky to have them where you live! Flatband

fishingjojoman · Joined: 01 Oct 2007 Posts: 273

Yup ... BUT ... They dont grow really big over here and places which has good sized peacocks like that in the picture are banned from fishing ... well a fishermen got to what he has to do

I caught these two on powerbait, some of the fellas at the lake were using spinners but weren't catching much but we did alright with powerbait fishing on the bottom, just gobbled these two beauties down.

Those are real nice CK. Do you get Brook Trout where you live? We actually still have a few streams that have natural spawned Brook trout. They are a beautiful fish-small but fight like hell. They taste unreal also! Flatband

Well done Ck !!!!!!! Power bait huh ??? By berkelys ??? Have you tried berkelys Gulp ??? I am a fan of berkelys ha ha i just love their fire line .... It is like a mini rope ... Thin yet it takes a hell lot of stress to snap it !!!! Jo
