Been away for awhile or just lurking in the shadows?
Glad to see more Quad Cities guys posting..
All the encouragement we can get..

Fishin a DEEP lil pond North of the cities. They all came outta 16 fow. As soon as I drilled the hole, I saw fish, and I'll be danged if they weren't hungery. THey ain't been for a while. The last 4 times I went there I'd watch em on the Vex swim up to it, and just look. They only bit for about 40 minutes, then they were tight mouthed agin.
I kinda just forgot about the place. My main passion is Ducks/Geese. Always on them sites. Just started coming back here.

We hunted the ceder down by conesville. Got a friend with 100 acres with 2 pond along the river. We have a blind on each pond and one on the river.

Killed 19 and never took a shot at a goose.

Nice fish, have experienced the same thing with bluegills all season.  Short bite, but can put quite a few on the ice during that time if you hit it right.  Was wondering what they were on the vexilar so put a camera down a couple of days ago.  Swim up look and leave.

Yep. Goin out tomorrow too. You goin to Burlington for the callin contest Saturday?

Got out today to a lil lake I've never fished before. Wasn't too bad. I didn't kill em, but I got a few. Ended up with 7 Gills, a nice Bass. and my first ever Trout thru the ice. The Bass, and the Trout were released. I woulda kept the Trout, but you have to have a Trout stamp in Iowa, and since I don't go after em any more, I don't have one.

Naw im going ice fishing instead. I havent been there since it was in that hotel lobby around the pool. It was so loud I could hear a ringing in my ears for 3 days.

Im asuming you caught those at "the lake"? did you fish where I told you?
I think my father might go to "the lake" tomarrow. He drives a tan chevy taho, maybe you'l see him.

Ya that's where I went. I started where you advised, but ended up by that lil bay at theend. Saw fish at the other place, they just wouldn't hit. I drilled 30 some holes to find those, and when they really started to bit, 2:30, I had to go. :'(

Not many trout "lakes" around here .
Let's hope they stock it heavy next spring, don't want to waste my trout stamp.
Looking like a great weekend guys.

I know, I cant wait. Havent figured out where to go though. My fathers at the lake first spoken about on this thread right now and hes only caught dink perch. "The Lake" Is another option but im not sure I want to drill 30 holes LOL. Anyone hear anything from hansens? Thats about my last option other than "the lake".

Hansens is DEAD. EVERY one I talked to has said the same thing. NO fish. They have been picking up a few Crappies in Rock Creek, but that's a walk unless you know some one that has a cabin you can park at.
