Perch fishing yesterday…only caught an eel. Grass shrimp extremely hard to find…but did find them for $25 a pint! Blood worms are half the cost that they were last year so that may be the go to bait for this season.

Went back to the spillway last night just for fun after work. Caught probably 30 6-9 inch crappie, all released. Along with maybe 10 or so small white bass. Also threw a Zmann paddlerZ for a while on a 1/8 ounce corelok and caught my PB saugeye at 17inches! No pictures to prove it though
#Floridaman isn’t used to this kind of fishing quite yet. I have a feeling some new rod and reels are in my not so distant future.

I didn't realize he was down south.

Ran the maiden voyage for 2022 on Sunday. Had some success.
I’m quite surprised to see @Dustin80 liking this post. Figured he hit the ignore button on anything fish related. Lmao

New PB AGAIN TODAY. 23inch thick one! Brought home 10 white bass as well! Fished from 530-730. The #Zmannbaits are working well up here. All fish were caught on a 2.5in white, Slim Swimz. All you northern guys need to give them a shot if you aren’t familiar with them.

Ended up with 18 fish brought home tonight. Will post better pictures in am. It’s was freezing and snowing but well worth it. More saugeye, white bass and crappie today! All artificials, 8lb seaguar fluoro, 1/8 ounce chartreuse trokar jig head and a 2inch shad body.

Nice catch! It seems impossible to fish anywhere in this state without the blue worm containers laying around somewhere.

I saw it there for the past couple of days. Before I left today I picked up probably a pound of mono and braid along with five or ten pounds of other trash… it’s nowhere near as bad down in Florida but yes lazy people are everywhere.Nice catch!

I don’t think I ever saw one in Northern Michigan or Canada. But one time I was fishing the Rio Grande close to Pilar, New Mexico. Seemingly in the middle of nowhere. It was beautiful country after you got used to the lizards and snakes. I decided to make a short cut back to camp through the riverside willows. There it was... the blue worm box! Dang things should be made biodegradable.

I pick up 100s every year at work around our reservoirs.
Air temps in the low 30's, high winds, snow/sleet...WTF were we thinking? Even with all that, I still found a few willing to eat.
The fly pattern that did the damage was the usual minnow in either chartreuse/white or pale blue/white.

Some of the trout they are stocking at some of the ponds we fish at in North Central Pennsylvania. We’ll be up there mid May…can’t wait.

Add another one to the arsenal.Shimano 2500xgfl going on my star rod vpr 6-14 medium light extra fast. Used to throw this same combo down in Florida for reds, snook, trout, pompano, etc! Should be perfect for just about anything up here! I might pick up a couple 1000s for this crappie type fishing. We shall see! Gonna give it a whirl after work for an hour or so.
