looks like you two had a great day The day has just begun. 1
Nice fish!! Did that little crappie swallow one of your giant shiners?
Nice fish! What size were the baitfish the bass hit? I imagine this is probably your last week on the hardwater Do you ever use the same techniques (sucker, big hook, fished over the weeds) in that same spot in the open water? Seems like the same thing should work all year long.
Had a good half day catcing some fish and good conversation with you this afternoon looking for sunset picture you were taking hopr to see you on saturday
I'll be on for more than another week. Haven't even headed to the western mountains yet. Once I'm done ice fishing, I no longer use live bait.
wtg dude. I went all the way to NH just to catch pickerel. lost a small bass at the hole and kept myself busy catching small perch. met back at the camp then drove around checking out the maple syrup making places. they all had open houses and sampled there goods. maple syrup over ice cream is good. didn't go out sun am in fear of the skunk. left NH early. my luck is going to turn around as soon as find time to go out to visit keith. I will be hitting some local ponds this week in the pm after work. Keith sorry about your loss. alone time is a good time to reflect on relatives gone past.
Hey Keith there are talks about Pittsfield this wknd if ur interested. Tommy dicky myself prob getn a place hit me up here or fb messngr.
Was going to send you a pm to ask about the situation at the rip with access. But figured I would save you the time and just head on over in the morning to get my fish on. Plenty of fishing left out there
I don't have an issue with asking a question. But if I go through the effort to explain in full detail with screen shots etc, then the people don't show up, its aggravating. Then I get the pathetic paragraph from someone whining that I didn't reply to them! Probably because I don't recall seeing a message from them! I help anytime I can, always have! To get these messages accusing me of ignoring them pisses me off! Not to mention all the bull**** this person was speaking about the pond and its pressure & the crowds! That made me laugh, the crowds lmao! Must have been that day I wasn't on ripple this year, owe wait I've been there every weekend, yup no crowds!!!! None during the week either! PS Get on at the school!!!
Keith you catch enough fish to maybe be considered a crowd 😝 Wish I could have gotten out more with you this season. It is always a good time. The good news is the chiropractor has managed to get the dizziness to go away. Now the only thing that makes me dizzy is LOUD noises 😯 Hopefully I can get that straightened out soon also.
that's awesome Ed! Good to hear for sure! I hope to get out with you again soon, always a good time. Maybe you can try the "hill" this weekend. Sucks for sure but its the only way on.
Fingers crossed man. Never ventured down the "hill". Gonna have to make sure the cover is on the bait bucket good and tight if I do. Don't want a repeat of my first time out.
Keith, I appreciate you taking the time to answer my question. As long as there's safe ice, I'll try to make it this weekend. Never fished there before.
